Yeah. This is the site I referred to earlier. Quite funny. They really do pull it off, I think. .< 7:56:23 PM  >Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | Pimp pageant Fox unleashes "Who Wants to Be a Princess?" as "Undeclared" sprouts from the dung heap of the new season. According to the network's official Web site, "one woman's fairytale fantasy becomes a reality when 30 ypung [sic] women from across the United States vie for the favor of a dashing young Eurpoean [sic] prince on the two-hour original special." And it is special to watch yet another sad string of shapely yokels display their bottomless ignorance and rock-hard abs for a shadowy stranger quietly judging them from the privacy of his isolation booth My 7 year old daughter turned on the tv one night and this thing fell into her lap. I cringed. I let Olivia know how awful I thought it was but managed to resist insisting that she turn it off. .< 7:39:37 PM >Washington Post: Web-Page Collection Preserves The Online Response to Horror. Now far-flung volunteers from New York to the District of Columbia and the state of Washington are joining the Library of Congress and Internet Archive in San Francisco to create a special digital archive, one that aims to re-create what appeared online...

Cool. This reminds me that I'd like to see a tape of each of the news outlets live feed in the first hour or so of the chrisis. I was asleep when it all began because I was living in mountain time that day. I can't imagine being on air and watching a plane fly into the WTC. .< 7:30:32 PM >CNN.com - Toronto orchestra says it faces bankruptcy - September 27, 2001 Now in its 80th season, the TSO has a cumulative deficit of nearly $7 million. Its subscription sales over the past few years have declined to 30,000 from a peak of 45,000.
My goodness. CNN?! .< 7:27:56 PM >The Register Palm has promised to bring a native OS X desktop to market by the end of the year. .< 5:55:22 PM >Macworld: Apple Makes Its Case for OS X OS X 10.1's enhanced AppleScript support also received its share of attention during Tuesday's keynote -- good news for the designers who rely on scripting to automate time-consuming tasks. A demonstration by Apple's Sal Soghoran that used AppleScripts to pull text and graphics out of FileMaker Pro and iView Media Pro databases and place them in an InDesign file brought the house down.
It takes a certain kind of geek to get excited about scrirpting. I'd be one of those geeks. Right now I do this type of work with FMP and Frontier. .< 5:42:42 PM >The Onion | 26 September 2001 President Urges Calm, Restraint Among Nation's Ballad Singers Bush Sr. Apologizes To Son For Funding Bin Laden In '80s Those are just the headlines. There's some pretty funny stuff here. Thanks god someone's jumped in and turned on the humour. .< 1:58:29 PM >DVD players to double in US. Gramophone Sep 26 2001 9:49PM ET [Arts and culture news] Few people know it but the DVD has seen the most successful consumer electronics launch in history . . . well ahead of the CD. I'm planning on getting a DVD player this Christmas. It might be a combo player that handles DVD-A as well. Depends on the price. .< 1:54:32 PM >KATE TAYLOR, The Globe and Mail Entertainment, that stuff that fills our evenings when we are not making dinner or having sex, is lovely and delightful, but when it comes time to chose between it and cancer research, it's a non-starter. When disastrous events befall us, entertainment feels inappropriate and trivial; when the hard times take hold, if we indulge in it again, it is because it offers the security of mindless escape.
That ill-defined thing called art is not so easily dismissed, or perhaps as easily welcomed into our lives. It can comfort us but it can also discomfort us. It can make us feel more and think harder; it can define our times and probe our societies in ways that can speak across continents and decades; it is the stuff of civilization, the culture that will be remembered long after the politicians are silent and the Dow Jones is dust. Board chairman Byron Neiles said the CPO could be bankrupt by Christmas unless it can sort out its financial affairs -- including reaching It's not just the TS which is in trouble. There's a real crisis in this industry. |
