T Minus 12 Hours and Still Spoiler-Free

Potter fatigue yet? Yes? Wimps.

Go read this, my paper-edition take on Internet anonymity and the John Mackey scandal. It will make you pine for Hogwarts. (Also this week we have 10 Questions for Shigeru Miyamoto.)

I’ve got a bit of a dilemma on my hands, because I’m committed to delivering a review of Deathly Hallows by tomorrow afternoon. And I don’t have the book yet, and I’m staring at a pretty rough night of power-reading. I did torrent a PDF version of the infamous JPEGs, because I could really use a head start on getting through this thing for my deadline. But…I just can’t do it. I don’t want to read the last Harry Potter book as a bunch of too-small snapshots of a book on some jerkwad’s carpet. I don’t wanna! What I want is a book. So I’m gonna wait for one.
