How A Fake Taxidermist Is Keeping AT&T On Its Toes
Remember how @BPGlobalPR, the fake BP “PR” Twitterfeed took off?
Meet @ATT_Fake_PR (formerly @ATT_Wireless_PR).
No, I’m not doing my best Rip Van Winkle impersonation. I’ve been following and “talking” to ATT_Fake_PR for a while.
Vest-less
Now, I am not, and have not been, an AT&T customer (I’m quite happy with Verizon Wireless).
I have no experience of, and no beef with, AT&T. I’m sure there are many nice, decent people who work there.

Time, space, and how we inhabit the two have been a bit on my mind lately.

Not that they’re normally too far from it – because everything we do is a function of time and space, isn’t it? – but they’ve been slightly more on my mind lately.
To that end, here are seven posts for you to read/listen to/watch crossing the gamut of time and space that you might enjoy… or, at the least, find thought-provoking.
1. Why God did not create the universe, by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow, from the Wall Street Journal (you may not be able to read this online if you don’t have a subscription).

My body clock jogs me awake.
The calendar turns to another day.
Fall sets in in the Western Hemisphere
telling me where and when I am.
My brain obediently responds,
yet my essence is tugged by the magnet of memory.
Genes tussle with mind
over
where I am
where I was
where I should be
where I cannot be.
Wavering temperatures, timidly-coppering leaves, are the here and now.
Monsoon relief and the onset of the festival season are the there and then.
