Mr. Sterling — no, it’s OK! This is a technology post, not a review. Read on.
Mr. Sterling, which is continuing to be mediocre, had an interesting little moment last night. Senator Sterling was sitting in a committee meeting tilting at a windmill, while a press conference raged outside. One of his aides was at the press conference, keeping Sterling updated via BlackBerry. No explanation of what was going on, just a flash of one aide typing on a BlackBerry and the aide with Sterling getting the message. You know a technology’s becoming prevalent when it shows up in a TV show without explanation.

Here’s an odd contrast – look at the amount of exposition in this PvP strip/advert: http://www.pvponline.com/images/sponsors/pvp_tod1.gif – a strip with a tech-heavy audience, sponsored by a multiplayer RTS.
Heh. Scott Kurtz is not the most delicate writer in the world. I think that’s a fairly poorly written strip, actually, given all the exposition.
