Night bombings
Another good day yesterday: early swimming, then hacking all day. I ate fruit and drank water, had sashimi for dinner and kept working.
I didn’t get home till about 2 AM, however, and found myself waiting for the war to start. Which it did. Some of the media circus was sad: tabloid scrambling for war headlines, copy-and-pasted news bureau rewrites etc. But Swedish media in general are cautious, not flat against the war but wary of being cheer leaders for Bush and looking for different angles.
My current RSS feeds include everything from AP and Reuters to web pundits and diaries from Bagdad. Everything is usually updated within the hour - but actually reading and making any sense of it is something else. Information war is reaching new levels, too, with lots of obvious (and not so obvious) disinformation floating around.
I’m off for lunch with a friend and then some work. Later…
My friend was in good shape: soon to be a member of The Swedish Bar Association and happy with his new girlfriend. He is a tough lawyer, a true gentleman and a free spirit who enjoys “theorizing with a heart”. Sound like a recipe for good discusssions, n’ est pas?
