chris pirillio: "Atom. RSS. Implement either one you want, or both. Aggregate either one you want, or both. Just STFU already so we can get on with more important things - like getting people to understand the simple power of desktop syndication. Or, ya know... keep trying to prove to the world which side has the bigger (collective) dick." (via Alp Uçkan's Website.)
another happy end: mr Rashid Al-Khardy got back his beloved guitar.

congratulations, m., you're a doctor of medicine, now!
"It's nine years after Jesse and Celine first met; now, they encounter one another on the French leg of Jesse's book tour."
did ethan hawke fell for julie delpy in reality and thus wanted to make the sequel with her? is this the story of their relationship? why does celine must become an ecologist and jesse a writer? (yawn.)
anyway, i have pretty good memories about "before sunrise". i was in a similar situation of exploring vienna at that time. and celine was dressed like the girl i once loved so innocently.
sacks + mandela + snyder = centre for the mind.
"We explore what it is to be uniquely human. We do this by investing in challenging research, by orchestrating spectacular intellectual events, and acting as a global nexus for great minds. Our mind laboratories focus on scientific ways to enhance creativity and on instilling championship."

"why don't you dance with me? i ain't no limburger!"

"UFO & Alien Footage Hidden in Nazi Porno Films – UFOs, Anti-Gravity, and Pornography" (currently the illest link at le sofa).
there was a time when a project called [hydra was mentioned in the "anti-gravity consumer catalogue" in icc's intercommunication, vol. 23.
up to now i thought about anti-gravity: what a nice term (e.g. the catalogue also showed these wicked japanese schoolgirl stockings which never slip down to their ankles).
that bothers me with these nazi ideas: they corrupt our language. they steal our words. they poison communication.
anyway, recently i dug out some [hydra documents from krycke, my old server (the original [hydra keeps her pot boiling on a cd-rom. yes, that's one of these silver disks we used to produce for a living at that time).
yesterday on tv: karl jaspers speaking. talking. story-telling. in the beginning g., w. and me laugh a lot. it's like fairy-tale time. mythic grandpa is telling the stale news again once more. and we make ironic jokes about the jump cuts in the vintage footage.
but then suddenly, i feel fascinated by that guy and his story. his childhood. his early indisposition. his gentle but strong disobedience. his loneliness in school. his juvenile cleverness.
i am listening and watching that guy. not caring about what great philosopher he might have been. but realizing the magnitude of his humanity.
at least yesterday on tv.
