Ballard on CSI. Much as one would expect. (Via the estimable Messrs Boing and Boing. Registration unfortunately required, but they do offer to send you email about Aussie rules footy, which may or may not light your boat.

This made me laugh immoderately:

Characterisation, we are always told, is the key to drama, but this is a literary notion that serves the interests of unimaginative novelists. In any case, it is untrue to life, where we can work with people in the same office for years, or even share the same bed in a tolerable marriage, and know next to nothing about their real characters until a sudden crisis occurs.

Hear, hear! The real persona of one of my former supervisors came through in blazing form during the 2001 Nisqually Earthquake, confirming all my thoughts about her.

Jorja Fox is the key to CSI :-)

Ballard is as insightfully, dangerously sane as ever.
