I get a bit up in arms over certain judgements against Bill Gates. Not from any kind of MS fangirl perspective, but from a possible autism spectrum awareness perspective. Whether he does or doesn't live with Asperger's, we shouldn't need to see a diagnosis (nor should he even have to get one) for critics to be a bit more sensitive to the possibility.

Not sure why Kingwell had to go on a big aside about urban and global survival. Funny to reflect on the premiere of Survivor, though, 12 years later.
