- "The art of Kelly Heaton exists in that place where obsession, engineering and popular culture come together. -- George Fifield for the catalogue of the 2001 DeCordova Annual Exhibition Live Pelt, by Kelly Heaton, is a multimedia installation based on the transformation of 64 previously owned Tickle Me Elmo dolls, the popular consumer toy, into a woman’s coat. Fashioned from the toys’ pelts and electronics, the coat (entitled The Surrogate) provides full body vibration and is designed to be a substitute lover. Using Elmo as a vector to channel information about contemporary American culture, the installation encompasses moods both poignant and Frankenstein weird. The narrative investigates frontier economics, the human-machine relationship, and the technologist’s power to play with life. |

- This is the web page of the Austrian Karl Jaspers Society. Jaspers (1883-1969) examined the link between psychology and philosophy in his books 'General Psychopathology' and 'Psychology of the World-View'. He opposed the Nazi government and in 1946 published 'The Question of German Guilt' as a study of how the German populous was led by Hitler and the Nazis. The web site contains a short section on the Society's news and a list of links to other web resources. Its principle value however lies in the reproductions of the contents pages and abstracts of articles published in the 'Yearbook of the Austrian Karl Jaspers Society'. |

- This site hosts the complete online text of Thomas Hobbes' 'De Cive' ('The Citizen') (1651). Whilst the 'Leviathan' is the more famous of Hobbes' socio-political treatises, the shorter 'De Cive' is arguably more readily accessible. The text here is mostly that of the 1651 edition, but with some amendments based on the Molesworth edition, and some orthographical modernisations to avoid confusion. The editor explains these decisions at the end of his introduction to the work. The text is available as HTML pages divided by chapter, or as a single-page plain text file. |

- This Web site is a bibliography of texts on evolutionary epistemology. Very simply, evolutionary epistemology (or selection theory) investigates the way in which organisms find a 'fit' with their environment. Many scientists now believe that evolutionary assimilation is not simply a question of organic change, but that it implies a kind of knowledge. The bibliography is arranged alpabetically according to author. It also has a quote index - a very useful and interesting feature. |

NH (Oct 02 2003 02:44 GMT) - Free state deja vu. -- New Hampshire has been chosen by the members of the Free State Project as the destination for 20,000+ liberty-loving individuals to effect peaceful change through the political process. As I mentioned in this space way back in December of 2001, I long ago (1991?) wrote something called "The Monadnock Proposal", which advocated precisely this result. I circulated it only among a few friends, though, and I haven't been able to lay my hands on a copy. |

- "Climatologists are desperately trying to explain the mystery of where southern Australia’s winter rainfall is going. They’ve known the rain is being pulled south by an unexplained force. Now they’ve devised a revolutionary new theory to explain why. It appears that the circulation of the entire Southern Hemisphere is changing to suck our rain away. The reason is the Antarctic Vortex - a natural tornado of 30km high, super-cold, super-fast winds spiralling around Antarctica. |
