Light blogging this week, I’ll be in Cali premiering a new John Adams piece with Alarm Will Sound at Stanford.

Digital Global Trans-Analog Connectivity 2
As a follow-up to my recent post on DJ Spooky, which that Subliminal Kid didn’t like none too much (though props to him for steppin’ up!), I came across this article on a major AIDS charity called African Aid Action (supported by the Archbishop Desmond Tutu), that has sharp words for celebrity activists such as [...]

How to blog?
I’ve read many articles and blogs on the best way to maintain a readable blog. The most common recommendations are: Write about what you are passionate about. Write about what you know. Keep the blog focused on a certain topic or subject. This last one is extremely common, highly recommended for bloggers wanting to hit [...]

Worst. Dirty Talk. Ever.
I’m not really following the story of the murdered British girl, but the hearsay in this article is really quite amazing. The article is titled (of course):Couple Suspected of Murder Planned ‘Wild Sex’ Romp Day After Roommate Was Found Dead And here are some choice moments from the couple’s sexy talk, while shopping for lingerie, [...]

Digital Global Trans-Analog Connectivity
“Brian Eno once famously remarked that the problem with computers is that there isn’t enough Africa in them. I kind of think that its the opposite: they’re bringing the ideals of Africa: after all, computers are about connectivity, shareware, a sense of global discussion about topics and issues, the relentless density of info overload, and [...]

Conservapedia in the closet
If you needed any more proof that the farther to the Christian Right you are, the more gay-obsessed you are, Andrew Sullivan found this on Conservapedia (the ridiculously biased Right-Wing version of Wikipedia): Most viewed pages Main Page [1,906,753] Homosexuality [1,572,873] Homosexuality and Hepatitis [517,087] Homosexuality and Promiscuity [420,690] Gay Bowel Syndrome [389,278] Homosexuality and [...]

Study find no link between video games and violence
Well, duh. Still, front-running Hillary has always been a major foe of video games. Clinton said she would soon author a bill to create a federal law that would “put some teeth into video game ratings.” Reminiscent of a California bill introduced by Assemblyman Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) and similar measures in several other states, [...]

Tasered for arguing over a speeding ticket
Disgusting. The most telling part is near the end when the cop explains to his fellow officer why he tasered the man, blatantly lying. He says the man was “jumping around” and that he informed the man he would tase him, neither of which actually happened as you can see from the video. Couple this [...]

The death of The Sexiest Man Alive
I was just walking out of Starbucks, the Barnes and Noble one in Park Slope, when I saw a magazine (People?) with the Sexiest Man Alive on it. It was Matt Damon. Ok, I was wondering. The last Sexiest Man Alive I remember there being was Matthew McConaughey, who knows what year that was. The [...]
