- Dit heb ik enige tijd geleden neergetikt in een bui dat ik het weer eens helemaal gehad had met de burgerlijke instelling van de "ik ben niet burgerlijk" hippies die onze hoofdstad bewonen. Toch maar besloten, na wat censuur, het te plaatsen. Ja. |

- No, I don't believe in a curse (although I think it's some funny shit). No, I don't believe in luck (although I do think that once something is so pounded into your tradition, like this curse thing, it gets into your head and you are more likely to fuck up). Yes, I do think that the people in Durham, NH who started a riot last night are wackos. But do I still contend that the Red Sox are better than the Yankees, HELL YES! And do I think that Grady Little made the most horrible mistake in leaving Pedro in during the eighth inning... |

- Mixed in with the various announcements about iTunes yesterday was the huge marketing deal between Apple and Pepsi for iTunes. Over at the San Jose Mercury News, they're noting the irony of Steve Jobs signing a deal with Pepsi, since he was the one, twenty years ago, who recruited John Sculley away from Pepsi to take over Apple with the line: "Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?" The article also points out that Jobs is extraordinarily picky about his diet and unlikely to go anywhere near a Pepsi product. Of course, none of this matters to Jobs, who is a pure marketer - and this is a clear marketing opportunity. |

- Skewfield notes that a German man has taught his dog to do a nazi salute, and asks, "is rewarding your pet to do things that are socially unacceptable (i.e. could possibly result in the pet being harmed by a shocked/disgusted human) animal cruelty?" German prosecutors have decided that it isn't. Your thoughts? |

- VeganUU would like to point out that I am not, in fact, the sexiest vegetarian in America, and she's using the full power of PETA to prove it. They're running their Are You A Hot Tamale? contest, in which one can submit photographs and win regional and perhaps national prizes, if one lives in the USA, for being hot. Of course, I'd be happy to challenge the winner to a walk off if he or she is brave enough to face me on my native soil. |

- Misanthropy sent in another example of brilliance from the Bush White House: in order to help endangered species survive, the US Fish and WIldlife Service is planning to permit the importation of endangered animals, along with "their parts and products". The idea is that countries can use the money from the sale of endangered species to protect these same species, and thank goodness, because apparently "there is a 'surplus' of elephants in many countries, where officials face a crisis over how to handle the problem." Leave it to Dubya to recommend killing them. |

- Hey Toronto people, AngelA and I will be hanging out behind a table at Canzine 2003 this Sunday at the Gladstone Hotel (1214 Queen West). It's a free event that runs from 1-7, and there'll be something like 200 zines on sale. We'll have copies of Herbivore, Green Goat, and a little something we've imaginatively called Vegan Porn, so if you're looking for something to do, stop by, say hi, and check out the fun! |

- We've got proof that GM foods are raping the environment. Specifically, genetically modified spring rape has been proven worse for the environment than the conventional variety, as have GM beet plants. That's the word from a new UK study, which is well-timed, as government is currently debating their stance on the whole frankenfood thing. Better still, politicians might actually pay attention to the findings, since they're the ones who commissioned the study in the first place, and it's the largest study of its kind in the world. The article also states that GM maize seems to be better for the environment, proving that two out of three... |

- What's the sort of guy who can have a typo in his slide and yet still change people's lives? His name is Doc Searls and he's talking about Idenity and three layers of it. MyIdentity is at the core, OurIdentity and relationships you have with each other is at the next level out and finally TheirIdentity is where all those "brands", BigCos, status quo, power mongers, government, fascist, existing companies reside. Am I being prejudice. Do I have a tainted POV? |
