I may need this soon. .< 1:26:09 PM >Baseball players, owners strike a deal It appears hundreds of millionaires have settled their differences and settled a contract dispute that would have closed major league baseball parks in North America. [CBC News] .< 12:30:09 PM >Canadian economic growth continues at brisk pace Canada's gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an annual rate of 4.3 per cent in the second quarter -- down from the blistering 6.2 per cent seen in the first quarter -- but much stronger than the 1.1 per cent rate recorded in Q2 in the United States. [CBC News] .< 12:28:43 PM >Ontario may have Canada's first human West Nile cases Health officials say they have found three probable cases of the West Nile virus in Ontario residents. [CBC News] In the suburbs of Toronto. Yikes. A little too close for comfort. .< 11:28:52 AM >According to News.Com, Apple Computer said it "plans by next month to release to the open-source community the technology it calls Rendezvous, which allows networked devices to automatically find each other."  [Scripting News].< 11:26:40 AM >Goodmorning from Amsterdam! Last night Patricia and I watched a self-made documentary Mick Jagger did about himself, friends and family during the post-production period of his movie Enigma. It was completely shot on DV. Good editing, but no special effects, which leads me to believe that it was probably edited on a Media100, or perhaps even in Final Cut Pro. It definitely inspired me to think about this form of documentary. I'm confident the docu wouldn't have felt as intimate had there been a full camera crew running around all the time. Most impotant part is definitely sound. Mick was wearing a wireless microphone, which deminishes the 'amateur' vibe of the pro-sumer handheld to almost professional proportions. Having Mick man the cam himself throws you yet into another dimension alltogether. It was definitely a "yeah, I can do that" moment :) [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog] Right on. .< 12:59:53 AM >Panorama and Pointillism on 9/11. Richard Bernstein, a reporter for The Times, has produced a synthesis of news coverage related to Sept. 11 by his Times colleagues. By Mike Wallace.

Jere Longman, a reporter for The Times, has written a clear and forceful book about the men and women on Flight 93 who helped foil the hijackers. By Vince Passaro. [New York Times: Arts] .< 12:56:07 AM >Boys Will Be Girls in Pure Shakespeare. The Globe Theater's production of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" features Elizabethan costumes, music and props, not to mention the period convention of an all-male cast. By Ben Brantley. [New York Times: Arts] .< 12:55:22 AM >Total Digital Photography. Total Digital Photography is a new magazine from the makers of Photography Monthly, Professional Photographer and Which Camera. The magazine is written by an established editorial team based here in London.... [Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com)] .< 12:55:03 AM >M-Audio Ships Quattro 24/96 for Mac M-Audio has shipped its new USB AudioSport Quattro 24/96 for the Macintosh.

But this year, artistically ambitious movies are surprisingly abundant amid the junk food. By Stephen Holden. [New York Times: Arts] 'Utterly gripping and occupying a cinematic world all its own is Zacharias Kunuk's film "The Fast Runner" ("Atanarjuat"), an Inuit movie based on a legend and set at the dawn of the first millennium in what is now the Canadian Arctic.' .< 12:09:46 AM >Death becomes them , Norman Lebrecht, 8/29/2002 [La Scena Musicale - News] Another excellent article from Lebrecht.
