Sounds interesting. But I closed the herky-jerky content tab while it was still loading/running God knows what bullshit, already staring at ad for The New Yorker that slid down from above, and another for WIRED itself that mosied up from the bottom, leaving a – literal – midriff of photograph containing a toaster and knife set.

So thank you very much for the summary! (which, truthfully, was probably all I really had time for anyway...)

It doesn't have to be interesting. It just has to be.
