Before The Matrix, There was Only Meat
Topic: Sci-Fi/Fantasy Literature 11:45 pm EDT, May 31, 2003

] "So who made the machines? That's who we want to
] contact."
]
]
] "They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell
] you. Meat made the machines."
]
]
] "That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're
] asking me to believe in sentient meat."
]
]
] "I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. These creatures are
] the only sentient race in that sector and they're made
] out of meat."

This short story is also posted on the wall of the lower level of The Tech Museum in San Jose, just near the planetary exploration area.

Virtual Aquarium Saves Nemo from Evil Orthodontists!
Topic: Miscellaneous 9:35 pm EDT, May 31, 2003

"Enjoy up to 7 fish on screen at a time!"

Hidden down a lonely corner at E3 was this very beautiful software that just MUST have begun life as a Master's degree project. Or a graphics benchmark. Maybe they should sell it to Buena Vista Interactive and called it "Nemo's Dungeon".

"Achieve serenity from an exquisite marine habitat without the expense or maintenance of the real thing"

And real fish don't have wire frame mode.

Unused Audio Commentary By Howard Zinn & Noam Chomsky, Recorded Summer, 2002, for The Fellowship of the Ring (Platinum Series Extended Edition) DVD, Part Two
Topic: Miscellaneous 11:43 pm EDT, May 22, 2003

This is absolutely the driest humor I have ever come across. Two parts, slightly dated to winter of last year but spot on humor. Don't miss the analysis of the instabilities inherent in The Shire's pipe-weed based economy in Part 1.

] Chomsky: Is there any kind of idea that men should live
] in peace with the Orcs?
]
]
] Zinn: Think of the scenes in the prologue with all the
] arrows hitting these thousands of Orcs. We're supposed to
] think that this is a good thing.
]
]
] Chomsky: I think this is a tragedy, this story. Because
] it's about two cultures. And poor leadership. It's a
] human tragedy, and an Orcish tragedy.
