I just wanted to say,

    The sensorium – Marc's own private Djinn, own private Idaho,

This reminded me of the time I was doing the ... is it the New Yorker or something that does a sort of caption contest thing on the last page ... anyway, the picture was a guy with headphones locked in his own little world, and there was an irony-laden article accompanying it -- we're never aware anymore, fuck technology, yada yada -- and there was some other stuff

anyway

my caption or whatever was "his own private iPodaho" and I remember checking back next month and mine was eons better than whatever actually won ... so yeah. Thanks for that memory, I guess.
