- How often do we want to simply make our point, instead of bringing our opinions together to reach consensus? Look at all the PowerPoint presentations and slick brochures: we want to tell our view, instead of listening to others. We want our opinion to be heard. |

- It is absolutely COLD outside. It's so cold that I can sit here and feel the cold through the window! Today while I was out and about I was freezing. I don't have a winter coat (yea, don't lecture me) so I had on my big fuzzy sweater jacket which usually makes me get too hot and it just wasn't doing the job. I hope it snows! |

- Jonah Goldberg: By the way, where the hell is this much-vaunted blogosphere? If three freshman congressmen from Wisconsin hinted that they wanted to regulate the use of umlauts on the internet in honor of Leif Ericson's birthday, bloggers would be on the steps of Congress up-ending cans of gasoline on themselves in protest at such an infringement on free speech. But here we have all three branches of the government severely restricting independent speech outside of the dinosaurs of Old Media. You may think this is all fine or even necessary, and we can have that argument. |

Boletaires (Dec 12 2003 06:02 GMT) - Cuando llegué a aquella tierra descubrí que las únicas actividades que sus habitantes realizaban eran buscar setas y dedicarse a largas conversaciones en los cafés. Como el idioma lo desconocía decidí dedicarme a la primera práctica. Este ejercicio era tan popular en aquella tierra por la asombrosa variedad de setas que poblaban faldas de montañas, húmedas quebradas de cordilleras, causes de ríos, bosques húmedos, oscuras cuevas. A poco tiempo de comenzar a recoger setas empecé a darme cuenta de la razón de la increíble atracción que estas ejercían sobre los habitantes de esta tierra. Las setas recordaban en sus desdibujadas formas a pequeños animales prehistóricos, a órganos aun palpitantes de animales, a flores soñadas durante la fiebre, a soles y a planetas de otras galaxias, a pequeñas ciudades milenarias. |

- As you can probably guess from the length of time between postings, the Lionel has proven to be quite the distraction. A welcome one, but definitely a distraction. I've picked up a few tricks along the way. Clean old plastic buildings quickly. My buildings had accumulated a decade or so of dust and grime sitting in a box, and they probably weren't clean when they were boxed either. |

- She's a born and bred Newcastle girl but Sarah Wynter has revealed she's a little apprehensive about her next gig on home soil. Wynter will head home next year to star opposite David Wenham and Frances O'Connor in Three Dollars, her first shoot in Australia. Looks like Sarah Wynter - the actress who plays Kate Warner in '24' - is a fan of 'Inspector Gadget'. I know, I stole the joke shamelessly from the article I just linked to, but still, who cares? It's a good one. |

- Great news from Pitchfork Media today, as they report that the original members of The Pixies have been getting together to play with some frequency of late, and could in fact come together for a full-fledged reunion. Nothing is certain yet, but from what Frank Black told a British radio station, it seems that the chances of hearing the full Pixies lineup together are better today than they have been since 1993.
