New Prada shoes to fill: Conclave is in session

Papal conclave begins.. Cardinals enter..
When will the white smoke billow? When will the cardinals vote? When will a new Pope be chosen, and when we build a mote?

Thousands crowd cardinals at last mass before the conclave began..

While you’re waiting for Peter the Roman, or Petrus Romanus, to step out from behind the shadows in catican City, you may want to take a quick trip there.. it will only takes seconds.. And yes, folks, there is a webcam set up.. you can watch the Vatican live online .. chances are the webcam won’t show you the new pope, nor will you be able to see the white smoke, but you can somewhat pretend you’re there..

Ron in Rome: Cardinals count down to conclave with final talks

BEER GOOGLES. NOT GOOGLE GOGGLES.

Keep your beer goggles on. Just don’t wear Google glasses. A dive bar in Seattle has become the first place to ban the Google Glasses..

This is what will greet patrons:
The 5 Point's Glass ban logo.
And even though the article sort of makes a mockery of the owner and the bar, the points he makes are valid and …quite frankly, I agree wholeheartedly.
I understand a public place is not one where you go to find privacy.. but there’s something different about a dark and smoky bar. Well I guess not smoky, since cigs are banned in places, too.. but you catch my drift.
With Google Glass, all is known.. all is live.. all is streamed. No secrets.
Let’s keep some places sorta private? Please? Let’s keep the dive bar on AnyCorner, USA, a little under the radar? Without that, there’d be no place left to go!
