- It is easy to get lost in the moments which echo the happiest memories in one's life, my life. This is how I feel, this is how I felt when I woke up after a sleepless night, it was monday.A monday of a new week, it didn't feel new, it felt old, it felt as if I had been asleep for two days. It felt and still feels like I got caught up in the pictures, memories of an alternate universe that I live in a couple of days out of a 365 day year.This year is different from last year, but is it really I wonder as I look at the pictures that I captured, trapped. |

- I started with six teams in August, trying my best to follow up on a one-loss season last year. It doesn't matter whether or not I approve of his policies. Why not hitch a ride on GW's coattails again this year, fresh off a convincing victory in Iraq, getting legislation passed left and right, adding millions of dollars daily to his "war chest" for next year's re-election? Without further ado, then, here are my four (count 'em: four) playoff teams, with a brief summary of their chances to win the title. |

- (SOURCE:How to Save the World)- Wow! I look forward to reading Dave Pollard's blog posts about his journey to Radical Simplicity. QUOTERadical Simplicity is a complete workbook for making the change -- with step-by-step charts and tables for measuring your ecological footprint, evaluating your life's priorities, assessing and honing the effectiveness of your lifestyle (how you use your time and money), and assessing with your loved ones how happy you are, now and as you make changes to the way you live.Merkel spends a lot of time dealing with those visceral fears that keep us in line as massive, wasteful consumers and wage slaves. |

- While headed up the West Side Highway, we spotted an interesting looking metallic grey and orange car. It was sort of like a jacked–up Mini Cooper. Turns out it was the Honda Element, which is the star of a great commercial directed by Roman Coppola. In the commercial, the Element in built with Legos MegaBloks, which makes some wonder if viewers will think it's an ad for Legos MegaBloks rather than an actual car. |

- Litman argues convincingly that "One of the most salient lessons from the copyright wars of the last few years is that if express permission is required before one can post a collection of anything on the Internet, one will be unable to do it." Quite right, which is why such a requirement would destroy the internet. Moreover, "Thirty years ago, when you saw something you wanted to use or share, the default rule was that you were entitled to do so." Copyright rules have changed, and in such a way as to make it almost impossible to obtain copyright clearance in order to share. The world of music shows us what a world of strong copyright would be like, and what we could obtain under a different regime. |

- When institutions such as MIT begin to have budget problems, you know the system is groaning and creaking at the joints. And MIT's issues may be more significant than they let on: the university "will shut down part of its campus over the holidays, cut spending and eliminate hundreds of jobs to close a looming budget shortfall blamed on higher expenses and lower-than-expected returns on its endowment. The university has asked staff and students to save costs in small ways, such as turning down the heat, using e-mail instead of regular mail, bringing brown-bag lunches to departmental meetings, and writing fewer checks, which cost 70 cents each." Brown-bag lunches to departmental meetings? |
