'Bucky' Gets Lucky With Stamp'Bucky' Gets Lucky With Stamp'Bucky' Gets Lucky With Stamp 07/13/2004 05:18 AM Richard Buckminster Fuller was always considered to be 50 years ahead of his time. Ever in sync with the zeitgeist, a half century after Fuller received the patent on his famous geodesic dome, the U.S. Postal Service issues a stamp in his honor. By Danit Lidor.

Then, I drove home and parked right outside my apartment. Later, I decided to go grocery shopping. When I returned, to my dismay, someone had taken my parking spot. Begrudgingly, I parked somewhere else. Then, around 2:00 AM, I was awoken by a loud rumbling sound, followed by a crash. It happened again, and again, and again... I went outside, and this is what I found..." Lucky meLucky me 07/28/2004 09:27 AM You know the gap there's always between the tunnel and the airplane? The one you can see the airstrip from, five meters below you? And the small gangway that you step on? I've always had a slight fear of dropping something and it would go into the gap and shatter to a thousand pieces after a long drop. Yesterday it happened. I dropped my phone, just as I was entering the plane and BANG! It hit the gangway, and broke into three pieces: The innards flew right into the aircraft; the cover flew backwards into the tunnel, and the keyboard strip was left on the gangway. Nothing fell through the gap. I gathered the pieces and managed to get the phone whole and running again, but for a moment I felt a primitive terror grasp my heart. Losing one's phone is tantamount to losing one's connection to the world. It would be awful. It would be so hard to live without one right now, that it's scary. When did we suddenly become so reliant and dependent on these small gadgets? Or is it not the gadgets, but the connectivity to other people that is the dependency-inducing factor?

You are 17 years old and play football for your country. You live
with your family on a small farm.
You have always been fanatical about football and dreamed of playing
for a big European club
such as Newcastle. When civil war broke out, rebel forces attacked
your village. You, like many
other Sierra Leoneans, had one of your legs cut off by the soldiers.
This practice was widespread.
Many victimes died from bloog loss. You are one of just 4,000 people
who survived these atrocities.

Well, legally that is. On April 24, 1980, Pittsburgh personality Nick Perry, host of local TV shows and the live lottery drawing, fixed the lottery drawings. Perry has since passed away, but the story lived on in a (badly made) film adaptation.

Last year, after we failed, a few cities and prefectures resisted. Yokohama took the position that the bill was illegal because it required privacy protection and the privacy bill had not passed. They allowed citizens to opt out and an whopping 24% of their citizens opted out. Now that the privacy bill of the central government is in place, Yokohama is being forced to "normalize" with the central government. Last year, I accepted an appoint to the Yokoyama personal information protection committee which would oversee their integration of the national ID system with the hope that I could help them in their resistance. Today, almost a year after the first meeting, I spent the afternoon in what was basically a rubber stamp session. We voiced our opinions, but at this point there really wasn't much choice. These inquiry committee are constitutionally defined organs for people to interact with the law making process, but I felt more like a cog with a rubber stamp than a participant in a democracy.
