So when looking at one of my routine blogs, I unintentionally rolled over an expanding ad for BlackBerry and thought I saw something familiar. It took a few more times activating the ad, but one of my worst fears were realized when it became apparent that Douglas Coupland had become a paid endorser of a mobile phone. He's coming down a few notches in my list of all that is just and right...

Just another time I shake my head and say "damn BlackBerry" - not because I don't have one, but because of so many other reasons which now includes corrupting one of my favorite contemporary authors...
