But nothing on how it's "the time of the season for lovin'"? What, y'all have it in for Zombies, don't ya?

OK. Allusions made to CCR, Frankie Valli, and the Byrds? You guys are so stuck in a '60s time-warp it's almost funny.

Good conversation on a terrific book. Only one complaint: It took me several listens to figure out what the heck Rushkoff was going on about chronos and kairos. Thing is, both words (especially the latter) are used somewhat differently in modern Greek. So while chronos (pronounced HRONOS, btw) remains the standard definition of solar time, kairos (pronounce QUE-ROS) more or less refers to the weather.
