Unplugged in Gadget Mad LA
Brunch, Andrew Biggs, Published on 18/04/2010
» America has gone iPad crazy. I know. I'm here witnessing it first-hand. No clever observances about Thai life this week. It's hard to write a breezy column about the nuances and idiosyncrasies of Thai life when the country is descending into anarchy and mob rule.
