Loveliness of the Moment
And this beautiful television has put me, like I said before, in all sorts of situations. I remember being very scared to it because an Icelandic poet told me that, not like in cinemas where the thing... that throws the picture from it just sends lights on the screen, but this is different. This is millions and millions of little screens who send light, some sort of electrical light, I'm not really sure... but because there's so many of them, and in fact you're watching very very many thing when you're watching TV. Your head is very busy all the time to calculate and put it all together into one picture. And then, because you're so busy doing that, you don't watch very carefully what the program that you're watching is really about, so you become hypnotized. So all that's on TV goes directly into your brain and you stop judging if it's right or not so we just swallow and swallow. This is what an Icelandic poet told me once, and I became so scared to television that I always got headaches when I watched it. But then later on, when I got my Danish book on television, I stopped being afraid because I read the truth. And that's the scientifical truth, which is much better. You shouldn't let poets lie to you.

The dotcom boom and the Clinton era were around the same time but the latter seems much further back.
Need some fanfic where all the whitehouse pets at their prime (millie, socks, obama's puppy, etc) fight it out in a fighting bracket tourney
SO tired of "Guess What I Mean" User Interface. Outlook: when I copy an email address, don't copy *just* the name. BROKEN A-HOLE UI DESIGN!
mattdunn I'd be more impressed by rhythmbox if soundcard setup on my Linux work PC wouldn't have been a huge research project. Screw it!
Huh, googling on the Palm/iPhone link, the iPhone's CPU specs etc were less impressive than I had guessed. They do a lot with a little.
