You know the way Dilbert can sometimes get the whole office / cyber scene down perfectly? That's what Tapestry Dance Company does in their new show .com, and just as cleverly -- but with dance. And with some real depth and beauty worked in there, too. It was like the best of Dilbert, but with Dilbert as drawn by one of the Wyeths.
