BART strike averted, among other things
Local media disappointed that traffic gridlock not achieved; the rest of the Bay Area returns to grumbling about their "long-ass commutes" and ignoring the existence of BART workers. Reporters heard bitching about having to stop speculating on what might happen and having to focus on what actually happened. Newspapers pissed off at having to stay up past the midnight deadline as the union kept asking for "one more friggin' extension."
That has been playing in my head all day, because the whole situation just calls for Onion headlines.
The RZA is this month's guest editor for Boldtype. Boldtype is a monthly newsletter of recommended books. It's the spirituality issue, which is relevant, since it's something I've been thinking about a lot lately. (Why don't I have any Wu-Tang Clan on my iPod, though? This must be fixed.)
There's an interview with the RZA, in which he won my heart by saying: I actually collect a lot of books so I can have some common ground with everybody. I get that from coming up in New York where you get all types of people walking around. Books are a common denominator with everyone.
