"And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt." – Sylvia Plath

food for thought
Eventually, the whole “screen vs. reality” divide becomes obviously absurd. One night, while I’m waiting in line at Austin’s popular Amy’s Ice Cream with a group of attendees, several of them present their digital cameras and mobile devices and aim them at the ice cream flavor board. As I witness this, I wonder if they are all incapable of experiencing anything without placing an LCD screen between themselves and the world. Upon forming this thought, I congratulate myself for being such an incisive social critic. Then I quietly brood while everyone else enjoys ice cream.
