kung fu grippe - Better

  • kung fu grippe - Better - With this diet metaphor in mind, I want to, if you like, start eating better. But, I also want to start growing a tastier tomato — regardless of how easy it is to pick, package, ship, or vend. The tomato is the story, my friend.

    The Value of Private Property

    A gift from my friend Anita:

    Why do we have private property? . . . We use it to measure value, whether emotional, economic, or social. The more private property I have, the richer I am. Privately held items of all kind are generally valued more than publicly held ones . . . What would happen if we engineered a slightly different version of peivate property? We could pick one aspect of the concept and just tweak it a little, perhaps removing the connection between value and exclusivity. The more exclusive an item, the less we would value it. Thus, I could still have my private toothbrush, but it wouldn’t be worth very much. Other items, like a car or a building, would grow in value the more they could be shared with other people. - Annalee Newitz

    I hate you

    Dear blog,

    I hate you. I cannot wait to replace you. If I am successful in stealing my sister’s neighbor’s wifi, I will cast you out over the holiday. What else is there to do in Delaware? My plans and requirements:

    no more spam
    no more updates
    no more plugins
    Bio and company information
    Blog
    Store (spreadshirt)
    Lifestream
    Easy posting (like tumblr)
    lots of feed options
    commenting
    bookmarking/sharing

    I think I’m going to play with Squarespace on Sarah Lane’s suggestion. Thanks, Sarah! Anyone else have any suggestions?

  • odd time signatures » Blog Archive » Denver Plane Crash, Twittered - You’ve just got to really appreciate a guy who: a) stops after an emergency evacuation out of the left emergency exit door long enough to send a tweet; and b) has a sense of humor about it.

    the fool and the dog (aka the twitter film)


    the twitter film (racing north, chased by tweets, chasing tweets) from svanes on Vimeo.

    the film is constructed around a time-lapse journey by car from los angeles to san francisco, while twitter postings from the same day travel across the bottom of the screen. in this sense, the tweets function like a news ticker, transmitting reports from all over the globe.

    concurrently, time, as experienced in the film, moves forward on three levels: the actual travel that is recorded on film that can be measured in distance and time, while the twitter postings provide an additional register of the day’s progression.

    finally, the movement and rhythm of the tweets mimics the ebb and flow of car traffic during the day. some tweets move into the passing lane to overhaul slower tweets, while other tweets rush at each other from opposing directions.

    this is a non-commercial project that was created solely out of my own curiosity and for the amusement of my friends and contacts in the “twitterverse.”

    - christian svanes kolding

    A few of my tweets are in there. Can you spot them?

    It’s all a matter of scale

    Another winner from my hero, Greta Christina:

    Being an atheist doesn’t mean that life isn’t important. It means that we get to create our own sense of importance. The human scale is where we live. It’s what we have. And if we decide that that’s the most important scale for us, there’s nobody out there to tell us otherwise.

    I couldn’t have said it better myself.
