...firm that guards against computer hackers, can work at home because their beepers and e-mails alert them when their suspects go online. For some people, nightwork plays better to their adventurous nature: Richard Tapp, a deputy sheriff in Orange County, N.C., is charged by the adrenaline rush he feels at night, when he gets more interesting calls because "the freaks come...
...often does around this time, Bob Martin, 47, is standing on his head. Martin has just finished another frenzied day as a patent attorney at Hewlett-Packard's Palo Alto, Calif., headquarters, but instead of plunging into rush-hour traffic, he has descended one flight of stairs to the company's yoga studio. Soft music flutes through the room as half a dozen practitioners, high heels and neckties stowed in nearby lockers, bend and breathe to their instructor's directions.

Beaver points out that he gets to play everything from the gentle, dying heartbeat in a requiem to great, rolling sforzandos where he "comes in like the hand of God," a not unsatisfying experience. Ganksheim also admits that he enjoys the timpani...
...like a video game, programming Lola to be a lean mean running machine to hurdles an obstacle a minute. A critic called it the first "postmodern movie" of our time, but I think that's seeing it for more than it is. It's meant to be an adrenaline rush (like Pokemon!)--a sensory rather than emotional experience. And think about this--when are you gonna see an American movie where a drug dealer and his girlfriend are unconditional heroes--saints who deserve nothing but the best...
