Back from Peru, Sample Trolls
Just returned from Peru, the most charming country in South America. Some pictures soon.
In the meantime, nice to see alot of readership and response to the Sample Troll article, including the usual and expected volume of hate mail.
One thing I do regret — the piece had too many small errors in it, like calling “It Takes a Nation of Millions” Public Enemy’s first album, when it was actually their second (but their breakout album).  I wish I’d had the piece error-checked a few more times, though I did make sure the piece was clear of any potential libel problems.
Slate does fairly rough error-checking, compared with other publications, unfortunately.
