Via The Frontburner (who gave us some link love today), Phil Luciano points to the antithesis of HST's work, something that could be solved with the magic we hope to create with Pegasus. (Yes, dammit. We said "magic." Get used to it.)
They say people are too busy to read newspapers. I say people are too busy to read boring newspapers. Newspapers once heaved and gasped and screamed with the intensity of the cities and people they covered.

Exactly. Except Hildy would probably file from a bar with wireless, as opposed to Starbucks.
Note to the proprietor of The Pressbox -- get a wireless connection, STAT!
