Bonfire of the C-90s

Bonfire of the C-90s 12/19/2004 03:24 PM
Over the years I have accumulated a large collection of cassette tapes. Typically, I'd own LPs (later, CDs) but I'd transfer them to cassette to listen to them in the car. You could fit two LPs on one C-90, so it was efficient, and everyone knows that music and driving go together like, say, cinnamon and sugar. (Convenience of this sort is, of course, on the wane as the world of "digital rights management" tries to lock down everything it can.)

This was my mode for many years; I still remember debating whether it was worth dubbing my multi-LP set of Laurie Anderson's "United States" to listen to during the cross-country drive in 1986 as I moved my life from Boston to San Francisco. I knew I'd made the right choice somewhere on I-80 on the long, slow climb up from the plains on the Nebraska/Wyoming border. Anderson's voice intoned its futuristic alienations and fragile hopes as I hung suspended between two coasts and two lives, and the wind began roaring down from the mountains, buffeting my old car back toward the past. (I also listened to a lot of Buddy Holly -- alienation only gets you so far.)

I'll keep those tapes, and a handful of others. But I've got hundreds more that just duplicate music I have in other, better formats. So what does one do with several hundred old cassette tapes? They were once reasonably high quality blanks; it seems criminal to toss them in landfill. I'd welcome any ideas.

Chess with Violence

Chess with Violence 08/19/2004 11:56 AM
Just because you're in a wheelchair doesn't mean you can't have a ruck. Browsing our current favourite website I found myself intrigued. This year's paralym pics will again feature Wheelchair Rugby, a sport that has been alternatively described as 'Chess with Violence'. The rules are explained here though I think you might have to actually see a game to figure out how they would work in practice.

CyberCafe Violence

CyberCafe Violence 08/23/2004 06:36 AM

Anti-violence rules in effect at L.A. cybercafes: Apparently there's violence in and around "cybercafes" in L.A. I'm assuming "cybercafe" is a trendy way of saying "coffee shop with kiosk machines and wifi."

Los Angeles is the largest of several Southern California cities to enact restrictions on Internet gaming parlors. The ordinance was proposed after several shootings in 2002 near cybercafes, two of them fatal.

A police analysis found that most of the people arrested at cybercafes were minors who violated curfew or truancy rules. Officials were concerned that the cafes were havens for gang activity.

First of all, why cybercafes of all places to center gang activity? Second, why the violence? Did someone take the "good" computer or something?

The Bazaar of Violence

The Bazaar of Violence 09/15/2004 08:01 AM
WSJ.  Iraq's Bazaar of violence is in full swing (note the use of criminal mercenaries as force multipliers):  Increasingly, Iraqi and U.S. military officials also see signs that various elements of the insurgency are cooperating, as well as working with criminal gangs that operate across wide swaths of the country, including in the capital. In recent abductions, for example, hostages have been passed along from criminals to former Baathists and on to foreign Islamist fighters -- with weapons and cash flowing in the opposite direction, U.S. and Iraqi officials say.

Gary's non-violence

Gary's non-violence 06/17/2004 07:29 PM
Gary Lawrence Murphy has a thoughtful and funny response to my piece (comments here) on why I'm not a pacifist any more. An excerpt: ...Dr. Who, on detonating a bomb in an evil tyrant's lair, was asked by his companions why he'd left his pacifism in this case. He replied, "Sometimes you just have to blow them up" -- Krishna too tells Arajuna that some battles are justified, because yes, sometimes there is a complexity that goes beyond the way we wish the world was going. The older I get, the more I am convinced that human beings respond primarily...

If I have any criticism of Sensory Impact's 'Subverting Objects of Violence' piece, it's that it's too short. You can't begin to fill my rage meter with couture ice blade molds designed to assist in committing the perfect murder, followed up by a one-off Hello, Kitty Head mecha, and then... it's over. That sort of teasing frustration makes me so angry it makes me want to kill. In fact, give me a few hours to let this knife harden and then I'm coming over to subvert you guys right in the eye.
