Scattered Thoughts: This Is What Dorks Do

I was in San Francisco last week and for some reason, I felt that spending part of an afternoon visting the scene of Bono’s Rattle and Hum “Rock ‘N’ Roll Stops The Traffic” graffiti incident would be just a totally rad idea. I even took a video. Upon reflection, I realize this was a very [...]
