Crip joins "Wired"

john hockenberry - the crip journalist we all love...

is a contributing EDITOR for wired magazine.

which is still extremely cool.

and he did some panel with al gore last night for them.

i was going to go - but he said it wasnt worth the trip - i guess the
afterparty he would have got me into if he knew about it WAS worth the trip...

and he edits his own site, which is soooo cool...

not bitter...(i can just imagine lindsey lohan and paris hilton at
some after party with al gore and hock...well, maybe i can't - that
is a stretch...)

maybe it went like this...

Hilton: global warming is so hot...

Gore: That's actually an oversimplification...(inane sputtering about
science and how he really doesnt want to run against hillary)

Hilton walks over to Hockenberry

Hilton: That wheelchair is, like, so hot...

Hockenberry: Uh. Thanks. its like seven years old, needs new
suspension and everything...but uh thanks (completely obvious to who
he is chatting with...

Reynolds: Ummm...that's Paris Hilton.

Hockenberry: Really, oh, that's right, i've been saving olivia's old
books so i can give them to help fight illiteracy...maybe giving them
to Paris counts?

Lohan: I'm a movie star what are all these old people doing here...

Reynolds: Uh, it's the former vice president

Lohan: Wow, I thought Reagan died.

(tongue planted firmly in cheek)

some dork named mike...with too little sleep.

army recruits autistic teen

note -
the only reason *I* had any idea about this story was because i was
listening to a cbc radio station - there has been very little
coverage in the us msm and nothing in the blogosphere

make me a guaranteed 4F
