Rands: you're a superb writer, and I await your new posts with trepidation.

But if I read another post about that useless purulent boil on the Web's ass that is twitter, my love for your writings will be irreparably dented by what I perceive to be a chink in the force field I felt surrounded you and made you impervious to faddish hogwash.

I want the Rands who writes 1,200 words about notebooks and conducts shootouts of rollerball pens. The free-thinking, fuck-you-I'm-an-anteater Rands.

For mundane chronicles of the useless, overhyped, and ordinary, I go to cnet and techcrunch. You're way better than that.
