“As I have met the heroes, hugged the families, and looked into the tired faces of rescuers, I have stood in awe of the American people.”

Meet Jeremy Hernandez, new reluctant media darling who apparently has a scholarship offer after helping pull the campers out of the bus in the MSP bridge disaster:

Mr. Hernandez was not available to comment on the offer; Ms. Schwartz said he left town for northern Minnesota late on Friday, overwhelmed by the attention and concerned that his co-workers were being overlooked. He spent the weekend fishing. When President Bush’s staff contacted him to request a photo opportunity, “He was just, like, ‘Nope,’ ” she said.

God bless you Mr. Hernandez.

Modern technology is to be used to bring Shakespeare’s Scottish play, and the king who inspired it, to life for a mobile phone audience.

Modern technology, people! Modern!

"The unjuried format of the Fringe Festival allows the artists to have total creative freedom when producing their work and provides for a unique theatre going experience. As a result of this boundary-free approach to creating theatre, the Fringe has become a popular development tool; encouraging artists to take risks, explore ideas, pose questions and tell their stories in new and exciting ways."

In other words, take the loonies from the streets, put them on stage and you’ve got some high-falutin’ artistic whatchamajiggies. See ya there! (Although, I am guessing some of the boundaries we are "free" of do not include time, space, or money – but it’s a start).
