From the Slow Food Manifesto
We are enslaved by speed and have all succumbed to the same insidious virus: Fast Life, which disrupts our habits, pervades the privacy of our homes and forces us to eat Fast Foods.

I have no clue how my name ended up on the Virion Reading List. I think I may have suggested adding Out of Control, but that was years ago... Probably about the last time this page was updated.

My bother Alexander should get into this link.

Well, I made an offer on a condo in the Ballston neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia. It's a block from the apartment I've been living for the past two years, and it's pretty much exactly what I was looking for in all things except, of course, the price. And since Debby's in Chicago at the ALA, she couldn't talk me out of it.
However, I doubt the offer will be accepted, since I think the place will probably sell for around $20K more than I offered. Alas.

Sony's firing 928 workers in Indonesia over the right to sit down. The line in the article tying labor strikes, anarchy, and the freedom of expression together is a hoot. Bad Sony, bad, bad.

Wala !! The web log without a name is no longer the blog without a template.
There's also an e-mail address at the bottom in case anyone at all is reading this, and you want to drop me a line.

Thanks to Olga for introducing me to the Snakefarm.

Tonight I saw The Day After on cable.
I remember when I was in 8th grade when this movie was shown on TV for the first time. It was a really big deal at the time. It was the only TV show we were ever forced to watch as a homework assignment, and everyone was talking about before and afterwards. I remember advertisers pulling support from the show so it was shown without any commercial interuptions. I can't think of another movie that comes close to the impact this movie had on me as a kid.

I also remember Testament being shown very shortly after The Day After, but it didn't have anything like the impact the first show had. People fighting over batteries is really all I remember of that one.

I haven't seen the BBC's Threads. Perhaps I'll rent it this weekend.

The Unhappy meals have got to be the funniest thing I saw all day. However, this peta.org spoof was funnier. That peta sent their lawyers after the parody site isn't very funny at all though. Bad peta, bad, bad.

It looks like a lot of my views and those of Buckminster Fuller tend to overlap. The problem is I can't tell if Buckminster is a kook or not. What's that say about me, I wonder....

First Opsail includes a Chilean ship involved in torture, now it excludes poor New Yorkers Bad Opsail, bad, bad.

The Long Now Foundation is planning to build a Rosetta Disk that could be used as a long-term linguistic archive and translation engine. This is a good and worthy goal, and I wish them the best of luck.
However, there is currently a push on the project's discussion board to use some religious gibberish as the common text.
My suggestion was to use the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

How lame is this: I can't get Apple's Amelia Earhart poster on the web. I've got to call some number. Ughh. Get a clue - I want to advertise for you, you should be sending me these posters for free. At the very least, you should make it easy for me to get them !!!

I can't spell for beans. My dad was in the hospital for a catheterization. No wonder all I could find on the web were about some religion from the dark ages I won't bother gracing with a link...
