I just finished my work shift, and I'm listening to a Quirks and Quarks debate on CBC radio, about whether the universe could be conceived as a computer (software = laws of physics, hardware = matter, with a brief debate over whether we're running Windows or Linux).
I've been listening to the CBC all shift. Even Brent Bambury's Go.
I'm not really sure why I listen to Go -- today they were having people anthropomorphize their cats and narrate their thoughts, with the audience meowing for the best cat impressions -- but I suspect it's some combination of obligation as a Canadian to listen to the national broadcaster, and the fact that the radio is across the room.
It did have the interesting factoid that Brian Mulroney's autobiography is longer than Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'm sure that the Mulroney fans who pre-ordered their copies and waited in line at midnight for the bookstore events were ecstatic.
I haven't read it, but I'd lay money that it's not as interesting as Deathly Hallows, and probably not as believable a work of fantasy either. Most likely it won't even give us any information on Mulroney's Horcruxes.
I'm guessing one of them is Michael Wilson, however.
