Kind of slow around here. I'm mostly waiting for the Details Magazine story to hit, probably late this winter. A reporter from the men's mag trekked out to the convention, and I am exceedingly curious about the narrative he's pulling together.

This LA Times story (reg. required) from last week caught my eye. It's a Boomer college prof named David Gelernter passing judgment on the kids who he now teaches. It's a strange contrarian piece, arguing -- I think -- that we're worse off as a society with so many college graduates working (instead of raising kids) and so many of the workers so hyper-focused on career. (I think he believes that not enough college-education women are staying home. Can someone get him a subscription to the New York Times?)

Now I don't want to suggest that college isn't full of humorless gunners who believe that their whole life hinges on their final in European Fascism. But the men and women getting spit out of college nowadays are our best hope for building a new workforce. They willing to explore flexible schedules and not as stiff when it comes to gender roles. We may very well be entering a period of revolution restructuring of the work world -- led by Gelernter's students and million like them.
