edit: another advantage is i can pull any section of the book up at any time if i have a minute to kill and will always find something entertaining as hell.

edit: so we're just adding another layer of potential untrustworthiness to the situation, you feel me? and honestly, picture the type of person that cannot tell a "real" article from a "real" news site from what would be, to you and i, an obviously shady/biased "news" source, or some wacko's blog. what does it matter if the person in question is tricked? it's unlikely they have an impactful place in society if so naive. so i fail to see why any of this is necessary. and it all comes so close to censorship, it gives me the creeps.

music production. i'm an audio engineer, so figuring out how an artist got a certain sound, hearing things no ear has heard before, the magic of music... so i'd say that.
