The best movie I’ve seen this year.
“It’s the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In LA nobody, touches you. We’re always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much that we crash into eachother just so we can feel something.”
Wrote a little snippet that will allow commenting on the gallery items. If you click on the title of an item in the category hierarchy, it should take you to a page much like the one you see now, with a thumbnail of the selected image on it, where you will be able to write a comment.
Today the Federal Communications Commission (FCC a.k.a “The Ministry of Truth“) reversed course and deregulated high speed Internet service. The FCC gave telephone companies the right to stop other Internet service providers, like Earthlink, from using their lines.
For years the baby bells raged against “forced access” AKA consumer choice. Until today the FCC balked. It’s a brilliant political strategy on Bush’s part. Just as Rove and the White House are outed on their lies, why not wipe out Internet access for tens of millions of curious Americans? The Evening News will tell them eveything they need to know.
The FCC’s reasoning is that DSL is an information service not a telecommunication service subject to “regulation” and therefore the infomation must controlable by the US government, monitorable by the NSA, eavesdroppable by the FBI -and if the information is found to be “unsuitable”- executable by the FCC before reaching its destination, the freedumb loving people of the USA.

We went to Niagara Falls on Saturday and to Sibbald Point yesterday. Had a great time but my back and feet are killing me. A sore subscapularis, 2 cuts, 3 blisters and a burn I got from hot water spilling on my foot. I’d take pictures of them, but frankly it’s too disgusting. I rather take pictures like this one.
I’m off to pool.
