- For the last few weeks a number of bloggers from various parts of the world have been developing the pilot for a blog on Latin American issues, mostly economic, which I think is now ready for primetime. So here is the link for Southern Exposure, a collaboration by Marcelo Rinesi (Argentina), Stephen George from bandiera |

- ....I'm going ballistic. This has been the Tuesday from Hell. I woke up with a damn sinus-type of headache, which morphed into a tension headache after listening to Addie-Love screech for three hours because -- get this -- she wanted a new toy. She saw a commercial featuring Santa ho-ho-hoing around cutie-pie actor kids while brandishing presents wrapped in bright colors. "Mom, I want toys NOW! |

- Un petit bonjour de Samarkand en cette douce soirée d'automne ! Les Samarkand Panzers n'ayant pas perdu leur match nous retrouvons Métal Hurlant, leur coach, pour une interview de fin de saison. Métal Hurlant, quels enseignements tirer de cette 10è journée de la ligue Open 2101 ? A l'issue de cette journée les Panzers gardent leur destin en main concernant la montée en ligue Golden mais, comme ils s'y attendaient, d'un souffle. Les équipes qui nous suivent sont trop nombreuses et trop rapprochées, seule une victoire devrait nous permettre la montée. |

- Sans éducation, l'humain, c'est de la merde. Je préfère les animaux aux humains, parce qu'ils fonctionnent à l'instinct, et ils ont le droit de le faire puisqu'ils n'ont pas de raison. En plus, les animaux ne parlent pas, ce qui arrange beaucoup de choses. Mais les humains, eux, lorsqu'ils ne sont pas éduqués, c'est vraiment la pire race qui existe. Lorsque l'humain fonctionne avec son instinct plutôt qu'avec sa raison, ça devient une horreur. |

- J'aime entendre de l'accordéon... Surtout celui-ci, il est un peu triste... Un accordéon triste n'aura pas la même beauté qu'un accordéon heureux... Un accordéon est toujours beau... Les accordéons ressemblent aux hommes, c'est ce qui me les rend si sympathiques... |

- Les images magnifiques de "La vie est belle" sur l'écran, mais malgré mes efforts, je ne peux regarder. Quelques secondes et déjà l'émotion, les larmes qui caressent mes joues. Je ne suis parvenu à voir ce film qu'une seule fois, c'est un film magnifique mais, je ne peux pas. Alors je rejoins mon bureau, à l'étage. A mes côtés ce cartable... |

- There has been a lot of pleading lately, from people across the political spectrum, for Democrats and liberals to 'develop a real policy to deal with terrorism'. In the absence of this, the argument goes, every terrorist act plays into the hands of the Republicans and the neocons, giving them 'I told you so' justification for their 'anti-terrorist' actions (at least in the minds of the 50% of Americans who still buy the Bush con that unilaterally attacking Iraq had something to do with fighting terrorism). And in such an atmosphere, irresponsible idiots like Tommy Franks are advising terrorists that if they want to turn the US into a paranoid police state, the answer is simple: just pay one wacko in the US to detonate one dirty bomb anywhere in the country. If the Bush regime is struggling next year to get re-elected, the best shot in the arm they could get would be more terrorism. |

Gullibility (Nov 25 2003 23:33 GMT) - According to The Register reporting on e-commerce complaints, the Florida Department of Banking and Finance reports that Nigerian 419 scams are the fifth largest industry in Nigeria, accounting for more than $5 billion in illegal income for scammers. $5 billion! Money is as well a measure of credibility as it is of gullibility. |

- Someone just mentioned to me that over the past year alone, the AMiA has managed to raise $400,000 for church planting. They've planted 15 mission parishes in the past year (i.e., churches where there were none before, not parish transfers). If this is accurate, that's remarkable growth for a hierarchical denomination, let alone an Anglican body. |

- The content in this article shouldn't surprise most people who read Techdirt, but it's still good to see a somewhat mainstream publication (PC World) look at the issues of copyright in a digital world and realize that it's not black and white, but that there are a hundred shades of gray to deal with. The current laws are clearly obsolete and new laws have yet to be written. So, in the meantime, everyone is trying to fit old laws onto new technologies, and it's become quite a mess. The article suggests that if you're accused of copyright infringement for downloading music you have a good chance to win if you fight it. I'm not sure I believe that. |
