living in the future

[topaz]

Sometimes I love living in the future. It's not all fun and games, we may not have our flying cars, but it's still pretty awesome that, when I hear on the radio on the way to work about an FBI raid in Watertown, I can use a portable phone to search the news until I find an address, get a map with directions, and be there in ten minutes to take pictures of the event, bike to work and put them on the Internet within the hour.

I mean, cripes. That's just cool.

I was picking up some reel-to-reel tapes from a funky old audio shop in Brookline, and that's how I found out that the Mobil station across the street was under suspicion for the same thing.

There was a news camera just sitting there, no one around. I looked through the viewfinder because I could, then walked in front of it to get home.
