1. Two people from my list of those I would like to get in touch with have been located. Mario Rouanet and Ed Soto. To those who provided hints to where Mario was thanks for the help.
2. I have recently posted two lists of books recommended by different people as must reads. I have now finished Siddartha by Herman Hess and have started Snow Crash by Stephenson. I didn't find Siddartha to be a life changing experience, although after I got past the first couple pages it was much better than I had anticipated. Overall I found the main character to be a little spoiled and willful, and his fianl determination that true happiness / enlightement / whatever is found in the self was a little to contrived.
3. Comments - I just wanted to say I appreciate the comments that are left here or occasionally e-mailed to me. I know I don't respond to every single one, but that is because either a) They seem to stand well on their own and don't require a response from me, b) The counter didn't increment (which happens quite often) so I am not aware a comment has been posted immediately or c) real life has intervened and I can't get to it. I bring this up because I recieved an angry e-mail from someone wanting to know why I didn't respond to his comment. Well first because he e-mailed the wrong person he commented on another site, but if he had commented here I read his comment and it didnt need a reply. Anyway like I said I appreciate them keep posting them, post more, get your friends to post, pay people to post, etc.
