The Great Plotnik

No Tech and the Highest Tech


Sorry about the TMI yesterday. Plot is feeling perfectly fine today, thanks.

Meanwhile, the end result of the mystery towing in Brooklyn seems to be two parking tickets, both fightable. No one knows what happened or why they towed the car but Plotnik's guess is they decided they needed the street at the last moment for a movie shoot and apparently a VW Passat with a red club on the steering wheel was not in the script.

So they towed it. They couldn't very well tow it back because that would take coordination between departments, as would notifying the people whose cars they had towed away. You have to ask yourself whether they would do that to people in Manhattan or a wealthier part of Brooklyn like Brooklyn Heights? Ehhh, probably.

Last night Plotnik went to a reading of Dan Hoyle's new play "Scrubbed," which had some terrific readers like ACT's Anthony Fusco, and Chad Deverman and Carrie Pfaff. Turns out Hoyle can not only act but write too. It's one scary play, all about the "scrubbers" who are hired to eliminate any bad data that has accumulated about you on the internet. No reviews yet, though -- this was just a preliminary reading.

Did you know that a bunch of 12-year-old hackers have threatened the Mexican drug cartels with exposing their high-up links in the Mexican government? It is apparently true. Think about it. The only people who can scare these animals are techno geeks in America. The geeks are winning and maybe it's good? Maybe it's not?
