This is amazing. What a hack. BRILLIANT!

Newsflash! People Are Stupid!

One of the most densely populated metropolitan areas in the world, Hong Kong has an overall density of nearly 6,700 people per square kilometer. The majority of its citizens live in flats in high-rise buildings. In Architecture of Density, Wolf investigates these vibrant city blocks, finding a mesmerizing abstraction in the buildings' facades.

These are amazing photographs. I wish I could go to the exhibition.

yes, they are beautiful. But I like to think of them as "why this will be a breeding ground for pestilance."

Peter F. Drucker, 95, who was often called the world's most influential business guru and whose thinking transformed corporate management in the latter half of the 20th century, died Nov. 11 at his home in Claremont, Calif.

A very sad day indeed.

Management Visionary Peter Drucker Dies

Just because technology makes it possible for us to work 10 times faster than we used to doesn't mean we should do it. The body may be able to withstand the strain -- for a while -- but the spirit isn't meant to flail away uselessly on the commercial gerbil wheel. The boys in corporate don't want you to hear this because the more they can suck out of you, the lower their costs and the higher their profit margin. And profit is god, after all. (Genuflect here, if you must.)

What's wrong with the world, in two thousand words or less.

Wired News: Eat, Sleep, Work, Consume, Die

Tennessee Regulatory Authority Director Deborah Tate was nominated yesterday by President Bush to the Federal Communications Commission, the nation's top regulatory body for media and telecommunications industries.

This actually might be good news. Debi has previously been very pro consumer and pro competition. She's had a fairly keen understanding of how technology cycles can benefit both.

An 18-year-old high school student has been elected mayor after mounting a write-in campaign to oust the 51-year-old incumbent.

Switched-On Bach caught the attention of my father, Fredric, a noted orchestra conductor and music educator. In my teenage years, we had many conversations about the nature of music, and now our talks broadened to include technology. Shortly before his own death in 1970, he told me of a strong feeling he had, that one day I would combine my interests in computers and music. This conversation, a direct result of Moog's work, was very much on my mind when I founded Kurzweil Music Systems in 1982.

Someone needs to fact check Ray a bit more in this article (Theremin's name?), but it's touching nonetheless and I believe it can't be overstated how important Bob Moog was to music, culture, and ultimately expression.

Friends, Buzz & Click 3PO is here! - Nashville Events

Anyone who doesn't have plans for this Saturday needs to come out and experience the joy and wonder that is Nashville's only annual electronic music showcase! We've given administrative duties to Buzz and Click over to Nashville's best radio station (91.1WRVU) and they've honored us with another great year of music running the gamut from melodic electronica to experimental noise and everything in between! There's a great lineup this year, including appearances from at least 2/3 of Venus Hum, Let's Say Baltimore, and Jensen Sportag. Huh? Oh, yeah - Logickal is definitely blowing it up as well.

It's all happening Saturday - Guy Fawkes Day (November 5th in case ya didn't know) and it all starts at 8pm. It can all be had for a measly $5 (for 10 acts!) that goes to benefit WRVU (That means that you might also want to think about buying CDs from the artists...). You can follow the link below to read what the Scene had to say about it, and take a gander at the full lineup.

Hope to see a bunch of ya there!

This guy has some great pieces showing at Gallery One (Belle Meade) on Saturday before the WRVU benefit. I'm gonna be there if anyone wants to join me before heading over to the show.

How concerned are you about Internet upstarts like Google (GOOG ), MSN, Vonage, and others?
How do you think they're going to get to customers? Through a broadband pipe. Cable companies have them. We have them. Now what they would like to do is use my pipes free, but I ain't going to let them do that because we have spent this capital and we have to have a return on it. So there's going to have to be some mechanism for these people who use these pipes to pay for the portion they're using. Why should they be allowed to use my pipes?
