...requires him to grapple with death and justice on a daily basis, precepts that are often philosophically opposed. He suffers everything that a normal man suffers - pangs of conscience, doubts in the human capacity for good, and the occasional urinary tract infection. (When he scrambles into the bathroom, doubled over and grimacing at the excruciating effort of relieving himself - well, the audience feels his pain.)

...when Apple sent me the device, my head was filled with ideas for crazy AirPort experiments. I would download recipes in the kitchen. I would do Christmas shopping from the bathroom.
