On Planet Laptopistan
(also known as) The Coffee Shop.
Gone are the days when cafes provided refuge from everyday responsibility in exchange for competitive chess games, weekend gossip, obnoxious children, and not-so-obvious people-watching. Today, leisurely coffee refills are replaced by constant tapping of fingertips atop delicate keys as both eyes remain glued to the latest blog/paper/email/report. While perhaps lacking the romance of, say, the incessant reworking of a hand-writtem heart-felt love letter or, better yet, shameless reruns of MSCL as graduate school papers prevail unwritten, the world is being changed one convert at a time, as these blogs inspire volunteerism, these papers expose truths, these emails forge partnerships, and these reports explore the unknown. Enjoy!
