The Best Stories You've nEver Read #13 & 14

These articles discuss high tech and low tech ways to pass the time. The first story from the New York Times  is a tone poem about people who enjoy watching the world from the windows of their apartments. Every once in a while something happens, an accident, a fight, but mostly they just watch. The other story from the Wall Street Journal is about a man who spends most of his days living a virtual life online. He even has an online wife much to the dismay of his real life wife. But he's not really cheating on her since he's never met his virtual wife in person... or is he?
