Recalled (Dec 09 2003 21:44 GMT) - Yow. I got a physical letter yesterday from the shop I got my bike from. It turns out there's a problem with the right crankarm that could cause it to come off while riding. Needless to say, this could be very unpleasant. Alas, the shop doesn't have any replacements now, and they don't say in the letter when they might. |

- Attention: An article on the ascendancy of African Anglican Archbishop Akinola in The Atlantic. The most important figure today in the Anglican Communion, a worldwide federation of churches with some 75 million adherents, is probably a man few people in the West know anything about: Archbishop Peter Jasper Akinola, of Nigeria. I was reminded of a killingly funny earlier Atlantic piece, a short story by humorist Christopher Buckley called ! |

- Je vois tellement d'inertie intervenir dans les décisions des gens que je ne peux éviter de me dire "wouah", de subir un étonnement sans limites. Regardez aussi, vous le verrez partout : quelque chose rôde. Ca sous-tend même l'organisation de nos journées. Il y a une sorte de musique de fond qui jour une fausse note. |

- Lu sur Manfred Rude: SKARFACE existe depuis 1991. Au rythme de 1 CD bien rempli par an (comme au bon vieux temps du Rock'n'Roll) le groupe tient sans conteste le devant de la scène Ska internationale. Plus de 500 concerts les ont mené de Bratislava à Prague, en passant par de grandes tournées en Allemagne, Espagne, Italie, Suisse, USA, Canada, et bien d'autre pays... délaissant à 80% du temps le leur (la France) ou ils ont fait naître malgrès tout pas mal des vocations actuelles. |

- Many eco-theorists see the biosphere, or Gaia, as a larger entity than the noosphere, or consciousness. In other words, the biosphere contains the noosphere; ergo, the biosphere is more important than the noosphere. Ken Wilber makes a good argument in Sex, Ecology, Spirituality that this is totally inverted. Wilber's argument centers on the concept of a holon. |

- What a shame that Ozzy Osbourne has to go and ding himself at such a time. Having seen the debue of their new single 'Changes' with daughter Kelly last week, I think this is probably the best release of 2003. It makes Kelly look like a Goth Goddess and really shows the father-daughter relationship. Brilliant, inspired, showmanship. Kelly drops out of nowhere to show she can sing, and now her father throws his full support behind her and her future career. |

- CONTEMPTIBLE, DESPICABLE BASTARDS. I have said before that I would not be at all surprised to see the Bush administration sell Taiwan down the river, when the going got genuinely tough. Despite the fact that I have been expecting this all along, I still cannot communicate how profoundly sickening I find this: On the eve of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's visit, the Bush administration signaled a tougher stance on Taiwan's moves toward independence yesterday, warning the island not to take any unilateral steps that might... [The Light of Reason] Another example of just how strong Bush's committment to freedom around the world really is. |
