Teach Yourself the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire in 24 Hours. "our desires and our possessions are the strongest fetters of despotism." Is a pithy Gibbon a more palatable one?

Fahrenheit 9/11: read it again for the
first time
07/01/2004 03:34 AM
Here's what purports to be a verbatim transcript of Fahrenheit 9/11 (the movie hasn't opened in the UK yet, so I haven't seen it).
NARRATOR: Sooner or later this special relationship with a regime that Amnesty International condemns as a wide-spread human rights violator (cut to video of public beheading) would come back to haunt the Bushes. Now, after 9/11, it was an embarrassment and they preferred that no one ask any questions.

CAROL ASHLEY: The investigation should have begun on September 12th; there's no reason why it shouldn't have. Three thousand people were dead, it was a murder, and it should have gotten started immediately.

NARRATOR: First, Bush tried to stop Congress from setting up its own 9/11 investigation.

PRESIDENT BUSH: It's important for us to not reveal how we collect information; that's what the enemy wants. And we're fighting an enemy.

AAPL in a nutshell 12/02/2003 03:05 AM
In a short week of trading, AAPL ended up only slightly, closing Friday afternoon at just under $21. As we all know, however, yesterday marked the official holiday season kick-off, and Apple jumped into the mix with a 10-percent discount on iPods and related accessories, and $100 and $200 discounts on the 17 and 20-inch iMac, respectively. While it may not seem like much (albeit, $50 on the top-of-the-line 40GB), the iPod enjoys such brand recognition, it’s likely to be on the top of...

Small Town Software announced on Tuesday the release of Time and Budgets, a new application that integrates with Apple's iCal application to supply time and budgeting functions for projects. The software also works with any calendar program that supports WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning), which means .Mac subscribers can use iCal with the online service to seamlessly input data and generate reports that convert time into dollars and cents that can be compared against a project's budget. Available reports in Time and Budgets include time sheets with visual charts, details about time logged in specific phases and tasks, aggregate workgroup feedback and more. Another option can generate e-mail alerts when projects have reached certain financial goals.

War is peace


War is peace 03/11/2003 01:59 PM

And I'm firmly convinced, if we have to, we will act [i.e. go to war]
in the name of peace and in the name of freedom.

press conference by George W. Bush

Love is hate War is peace No is yes And we're all free

Why, by Tracy Chapman

Reading the transcript of George w. Bush's press conference tonight (I couldn't bear to watch it), Tracy Chapman's song kept running through my head. It seemed like Bush had a script of 5 points he set out to make, and he kept on making them in response to the questions, no matter how inane they sounded. It was amazing the number of logical fallacies he committed in the course of one press conference, but just as amazing is the fact that as a body politic, we don't expect our representatives to be able think and speak logically. Still, I can't resist noting a few of the more egregious offenses against logic and reality.

it's hard to say the United States is defiant about the United Nations when I was the person who took the issue to the United Nations September the 12th, 2002. We've been working with the United Nations. We've been working through the United Nations.
vs.
I'm confident the American people understand that when it comes to our security, if we need to act, we will act. And we really don't need United Nations approval to do so.

Swarming for Peace 03/19/2003 10:24 PM
Jack Bury, a 20-year old poet, is co-creator of a Microsoft IE add-in called Eyebees. If you join a "swarm" - people interested in the same topic - the add-in shows you the movement of all other swarm members as they go from site to site. Click on one of the dots representing a swarm member and you are taken to whatever site they're visiting. It's a visceral visual experience. To join the peace swarm, download the Eyebees software from www.eyebees.com and join the "Eyebees March on Washington" swarm (under the category of "The Rally") at Eyebees.com. Jack is suggesting...

Poop is the one experience all human beings have in common. Did you "take some time to think when you take your time to stink" on Poop for Peace Day? Well, if not, the day after is a perfect time to properly honor this noble holiday. Sure is hard to argue with this: "We all poop, which means we're all human, which means we're all brothers and sisters." [via skimble]

Peace Swarm 03/20/2003 08:31 AM
Here's a little experiment in social software. I've been talking with Jack Bury, a 20-year-old American poet living in Amsterdam, who is part of a tiny start-up trying to get some traction for "Eyebees," a Microsoft IE add-in. (It'll be open sourced eventually.) The add-in puts a frame on the left of your browser that shows you up to 200 little dots (Eyebees), each representing another person in the "swarm" you've joined. Their relative position shows which pages they're currently viewing. If a few people are each looking at, say, Doc's blog, then you'll see the five Eyebees clustered...

Refocusing Peace


Refocusing Peace 03/20/2003 05:32 PM
Grant Henninger is suggesting that the peace movement refocus its message since obviously we're not going to prevent the war. Instead, Grant suggests, we should focus on limiting civilian casualties and ensuring that we step up to our responsibility to rebuild Iraq afterwards. I'm in favor of both of Grant's points, but I think there is a point to continuing to protest the war itself: It tells the government that we don't all fall into a line when a war is declared, and it tells the world that not all Americans believe this war is worth the death and instability...
