- "So I'm on a plane this afternoon, flying back from an extended holiday break with my wife's family in Florida, and I sit through -- for probably the ten-thousandth time -- the extended lecture on how to inflate the emergency life preserver in the event of a water landing. Like most of you, I'm sure, I've always thought that this speech -- not to mention the accompanying demonstration -- was a bizarre waste of time. How many successful commercial aircraft emergency water landings have occurred over the past twenty years? One? Two? |

- Today, I fulfilled my irritating cracker obligation (no, this is not pertaining to White privilege). The person who interviewed me for a job last year, that I did not get, was there schmoozing with my ultimate superior. After all was said and done, I began my way out to my vehicle and ran into this person walking to their own vehicle. We were parked in the same place. We chatted idly and I began to realize that this person had no recollection of meeting me previously. |

- see Stratfor Summary Europe is backing an unofficial Middle East peace proposal in a bid to strengthen its hand in the region and curb U.S. influence. The maneuvering will not lead to a clash between Brussels and Washington, but it will improve the geopolitical position of some actors in the region who are out of favor with the United States. |

- Erich Fromm in Beyond the Cains of Illusion. I believe that the only force that can save us from self destruction is reason; the capacity to recognize the unreality of most of the ideas that man holds, and to penetrate to the reality veiled by the layers and layers of deception and ideologies; reason, not as a body of knowledge, but as a "kind of energy, a force which is fully comprehensible only in its agency and effects a force whose "most important function consists in its power to bind and to dissolve." |

- From Unger A spiritual movement has accompanied the hollowing out of social democracy. This movement is the privatization of the sublime: the containment of energy and hope within the most intimate recesses of private experience and the abandonment of public life as a proper sphere for the advancement of large projects. In this circumstance, both high and popular culture have come to be dominated by fantasies of adventure, escape and empowerment. Such experiences invoke the very experiences denied in me numdrum worms of politics and work. |

- Once upon a time, while I was working in the warehouse at GrayBar Electric, the radio started blaring some Clapton. Another guy working there walked up to the shipping desk where I was packing UPS packages of blenders, toasters, and assorted electrical fittings. He shook his head and said, Damn! Nobody can make that guitar sing like Clapton.<? |

- I've been in gadget geek heaven last night and this morning. Not only have set up this weblog (really neat technology - hopefully I'll get the comment fields working soon) but I've also been sent the Timex Bodylink System to test. Not sure which is the more amazing or complex - but at least this should get me out training more. A pity it has no Mac or NT version of the software, as we walkers do 'Think Different'. Acoording to the instructions 'the Timex Bodylink System offers athletes and fitness enthusiats the unprecendent ability to track, store and analyse several key indicators of performance. |

- The Classic Gaming Museum will be closing its doors in a few weeks, another victim of the indefatigable march of progress. Indifference by modern game players has made it nearly impossible to generate funding to keep the establishment open, and so, after 10 years the electronic museum will shut down and its irreplacable displays sold to private collectors or given to game-deprived third-world countries. The news is difficult for many who grew up and belonged to the early glory-days of video gaming. [More] |

- Via "Amy's Robot" blog:... ... David Cronenberg was on Alias last night, playing a neuroscientist with an experimental method for recovering lost memories through the use of drugs and lucid dreaming. The episode itself is almost an homage to Cronenberg's ideas and visual style...as Sidney undergoes DC's process, the show turns into one of the more visually and conceptually cinematic bits of TV I've seen in a while, full of Cronenberg's illogical logic, layered realities, and of course the requisite bit of Cronenberg's nonsensical corniness. |
