Great escape



Last night I had the pleasure of meeting a fellow Mac enthusiast, blogger and Chuck Palahniuk fan, Mike Phillips. Ordinarily, this would not be something to blog home about, but he also happens to be the star of a recent episode of the This American Life series on Showtime. (If you haven't seen the show, you are missing out on one of the truly great experiences that television has to offer - it's definitely not the radio program on screen.)

After discovering his blog through the show's web site, I found his IM address and chatted him up for about half an hour at around 1:00 am.

He's the real deal, and a genuinely amazing story. I hope to keep in touch.

There's an absolutely stunning photo on his blog in the style of Annie Liebovitz. I won't say any more, but check it out for yourself.

Got 30 minutes to spare? If you don't have Showtime, the episode is available on Joost.
