I’m not a big fan of Woody Allen. He was funny forty years ago, but I think he’s now simply embittered and self-centered — and that’s not even considering his Foley-esque prediliction for young bodies. However, I have concluded that he’s something of a visionary. After all, only someone with

Mr. Bookworm came home from work yesterday quite excited. A friend had introduced him to one of those interactive online worlds, this one called Second Life. Here is how Second Life describes itself: Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. Since opening to

My son, 7, is much taken with Superman. After his bath tonight, he styled his wet hair so that he had a little curly lock on his forehead, a la Superman. He then turned to his older sister and asked, “Don’t I look dashing in my hair?” She peered at
