***** Breaking News *****

I've just received a report, though unconfirmed, that rogue aliens, visiting Earth to determine the current condition of human connectivity, are holding Dr. Thomas P.M. Barnett until he can convincingly illustrate for them the A-to-Z- rule set.

Barnett, because of his extraordinary visionary powers, has been temporarily outfitted with a bionic arm designed specifically for high performance speed editing. The apparatus includes WileyX2025 future vision goggles, allowing Dr. Barnett to include real-time thought process images into his documents.

Though the translation of text has been exasperating at times, the imaging seems to be working fine.

Barnett expects to be home before the 4th of July.
