"The future masters of technology will have to be lighthearted and intelligent. The machine easily masters the grim and the dumb." -- Marshall McLuhan, 1969

In a State of Denial
Topic: SF Bay Area 11:11 pm EST, Nov 20, 2001

(Do you think WebMD and Eli Lily would be willing [and able] to provide 30 days of free Prozac for an entire state? We may soon know ...)

California has been suffering ... Even good news is bad news. ... California is a famously rewarding source of drive-by anthropology. ... In truth this great freak show of a state embodies all the generalizations and defies them, depending on which valley you visit. ... Bright young techies are voting with their U-Hauls ... Optimists will tell you that Silicon Valley has always been cyclical ...

"Failure is an essential part of our ecosystem," said Paul Saffo, a Menlo Park technology forecaster. "It's like a forest fire burning space for new growth." [Saffo runs the Institute for the Future.]

[A recent opinion poll expressed] "a wish that things will be O.K. ... I don't want to call it denial, but it is not really sustainable."

CNN.com | U.S. wants its MTV to get message out in Arab world
Topic: Current Events 4:22 pm EST, Nov 19, 2001

The potential to intersperse messages between programming segments -- as with the "Rock the Vote" campaign, for example -- makes the music cable channel an obvious vehicle. And a top priority for MTV is to give young people a way to express their views via local MTV channels around the world, whether through man-on-the street interviews or interactive shows. Such efforts were under way before the attacks, but the events of September 11 brought a new sense of urgency.

Oh yeah, lets just send in MTV. That will take care of all these problems. Thats just great.. Glad to see things are moving along.

I always knew MTV would play some kind of key role in the end times.

The Trouble With Harry Potter
Topic: Current Events 11:09 pm EST, Nov 15, 2001

"If it's not good, it's evil. There ain't no in between. When you start dabbling in demonic spirits, that's dangerous ground. You're opening up your home, yourself to all kinds of attacks from the Devil."

What year is it again?

Hunter S Thompson - THE ESPN COLUMNS
Topic: Current Events 6:35 am EST, Nov 15, 2001

Hunter has a column at ESPN. I don't give a shit about sports, expecially football.. But Hunter is funny as hell. Several of the post-911 rants have some priceless Thompson molments. Worth a read.

Hrm. Missed this when I was at ALS. The Linux part of this is cool and all, but I wish they went more into exactly what this thing they are building actually does..

"LONDON--The CIA tried to uncover the Kremlin's deepest secrets during the 1960s by turning cats into walking bugging devices, recently declassified documents show."

Decius: This is hillarious... I want schematics!

Rattle: I want to make my own!
