Chicago Tribune: “Hare, 71, is one of the world’s foremost experts on psychopaths. He developed the ‘Psychopathy Checklist,’ which has been used to diagnose psychopaths for 25 years, and the ‘P-Scan,’ which is widely used by police departments to screen out psychopaths among recruits. Hare sees similarities between the psychopaths he has studied — Mafia hit men and sex offenders — and the corporate crooks behind the Enron and WorldCom scandals.”

Seattle Post-Intelligencer: “More clever, but equally embarrassing, was the device of explaining the solo acoustic section of the show as a way to give the band a dinner break. ‘It’s time for nourishment'” he said as the band sat on the floor and noshed while he played a sloppy and indifferent cover of Korgis’ 1980 hit, ‘Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime,’ recorded for the ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ soundtrack.”

Wired: “Using random event generators — computers that spew random output — they have participants focus their intent on controlling the machines’ output. Out of several million trials, they’ve detected small but “statistically significant” signs that minds may be able to interact with machines.”

So if you plan on stalking me, you have a great opportunity to do so this week.

If you’re in the San Francisco area, I will be at the Jonathan Ames reading tonight at the Booksmith.

On Wednesday night, I’ll be hopping across the Bay to catch Rebecca Solnit. Word on the street has it that Mr. Esposito and Mr. Perez will also be there.

And although it’s been receiving almost no coverage from my peers (not even panelist Kevin Smokler! for shame!), this City’s annual Books by the Bay is going down this Saturday. It will feature several authors and other book-related happenings, all at the Yerba Buena Gardens. I will be there as well, with a ridiculous collection of electronics attached to my body. I will return here sometime later to offer a sizable report.

And for all you podcasting freaks, there are several (multiple!) episodes of Segundo in the works, many of which will be posted this week and next.

Keep watching the skies.

Ever since finishing Jonathan Coe’s Like a Fiery Elephant quite a while ago, an excellent biography that I will go into length at in another venue (I’m dancing as fast as I can!), I have been extremely curious about reading the works of the biography’s subject, B.S. Johnson. Johnson died tragically young of a suicide, but during his brief life, he dared to publish novels with holes that allowed the reader to “see into the future” (Albert Angelo) and he also infamously published The Unfortunates, which involved pages contained within a box, to be shuffled in whatever order the reader decided.

Well, one Golden Rule Jones has begun the legwork, searching for a copy of Albert Angelo with the holes. And I’ll let his post speak for itself. He also points to this B.S. Johnson Flickr tag. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the Complete Review’s coverage of Johnson titles.
