I saw something mildly surprising last week as I was walking through the newsroom. It seems one of the reporters was killing a few minutes before he left for the day by playing one of those java online video games where you use a gun of some sort to blow up wireframe tanks and other miscellaneous objects. That's no surprise really, except that this reporter is one of those 50-year-old hippies who has a picture of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney on his desk with red horns drawn on their foreheads.
