On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

I picked up a hardcopy edition of Stephen Wadhams' The Orwell Tapes today, derived from CBC Radio series' Ideas serial documentary of the same name.

I remember learning much from those broadcasts, and hope to keep learning from the hardcopy edition in due time.

One more reason why I want CBC to revive its book-publishing division.

1. Apparently Booster Gold is about to become Canadian. Whether this is a "from now on" deal or a "retroactive continuity" thing is something not yet made clear. A bit late for the publisher's purposes, as I'm planning on buying only the reprint collections from before Flashpoint for the foreseeable future...of which, it is good to know, there are currently a half-dozen or so available.

2. Yesterday's phone-in on adult ADD on CBC Radio's Ontario Today show, briefly featuring Rick Green, has gotten me thinking about a few things past through a different type of lens. Not sure that this should be explored any further, though.

3. I read through Douglas Coupland's biography on Marshall McLuhan for the first time today. It's short, to the point, with meandering sidebars that one might suspect are intended to echo the thought processes of the man himself. It's quite possible that a few dozen re-reads are necessary before I begin to get the full effect.

I should definitely read McLuhan's own works, though. That's on the bucket list.

4. Just realized: I've been so zoned out from the Saturday travels that I've missed tonight's air time for Doctor Who.

Nertz.

5. More as it occurs to any of us...
