Lluon All In One (and Other Shiny PCs) 07/29/2004 11:30 AM

lluon_allinone.jpg imageI haven't heard a lot about these Lluon PCs -- and unfortunately their Korean-language site is in Flash, which breaks the 'fish -- but it looks like they're making some fairly attractive PCs and monitors, if shiny white plastic gets you going. The "All In One" in particular [pictured] is v. v. hot, even if proprietary, hard-to-fix machines in general aren't. Anyway, I submit them for your approval; no idea if they'll ever make it to the US. (Thanks, Lars!)

happy krishnas

« Krishnas on the Esplanadi. Shiny happy people. »

I always used to associate Krishnas with airports and vegetarian food. People smile, point and giggle at them as people dancing around and chanting might seem odd in places where dancing around and chanting are reserved for the drunks or the insane, but since living in Finland I've grown rather fond of them because they smile at everyone in a place where smiling at strangers just isn't done. People make fun of you if you're too happy and dancing and people think you're a freak if you're a cynical grump so it's no wonder most people take the stonefaced option.

It's going to be a crap week as, aside from all the other things getting me down, it is likely time to discuss the kevorkian option for HoneyBear with the vet. And, I'm one year older today, too. Yay. Maybe I should go join the Krishnas.

Shiny Happy Soccer Moms or Shallow and
Solipsistic Feminism?


Shiny Happy Soccer Moms or Shallow and
Solipsistic Feminism?
04/09/2004 04:11 PM

As I'll be out and about for the next few weeks with spotty Internet access it seems as though it is time to turn over the blogging to others.  Here then is a guest submission from an anonymous-for-the-moment philosopher queen hailing from the beautiful farm country just north of the Mason-Dixon Line...

In October, the President’s Council on Bioethics (www.bioethics.gov) released a 400+ page report on biotechnology, entitled "Beyond Therapy." The report rings of Luddism, arguing that our unbridled pursuit of individual happiness in the form of "mood brighteners" (read: Prozac and other SSRI drugs) is turning us into a society of shallowness and solipsism. Psychiatry is transforming into "cosmetic psychopharmacology" (Peter Kramer’s phrase). If we find ourselves unable to mingle well at parties, or we tend toward melodrama thus irritating our companions, doctors now have a diagnosis for us that entitles us to a prescription for little green tablets that will remake us into more congenial and thereby socially rewarded selves. Melancholy is decidedly passé.

What the report misses is that 70% of SSRI prescriptions are written for women. Moreover, most advertisements for SSRIs feature shiny happy "soccer moms," better able to juggle the demands of work and family. Prozac, it seems, is really mother’s little helper, especially in a service-economy that relies on women participating in the work force. Kramer proposed that Prozac was a "feminist" drug, making women more assertive, less sensitive to rejection, and thereby far better employees in traditionally male-dominated fields (Lis tening to Prozac). Prozac makes women more like men.

So what’s wrong with this? After all, feminism fought to get us in the door. But, we didn’t realize we were still a bit too feminine to make it in the marketplace. Isn’t the President’s report just another case of male anxiety over women’s liberation? After all, feminism will have succeeded once women can be just as solipsistic and shallow as men, right?

[Editor's note:  We were watching Tchaikovsky's Queen of Spades the other night (Herman starts off the opera by talking about how he is going to kill himself because he is in love with a woman whom he's never actually spoken to and finds out that she is engaged to a prince).  One of our friends remarked "These opera characters wouldn't have done any of this stuff if they'd had Prozac back then."]

MacCentral - Apple's senior vice-president of worldwide marketing, Phil Schiller, took a cue from his boss, CEO Steve Jobs, as he unveiled one more thing at the end of his keynote to kick off this week's Apple Expo in Paris: an iMac G5 that includes the entire system inside a 17- or 20-inch LCD screen. Continuing the all-in-one theme that started with the original CRT iMac, the G5 edition features a new industrial design that does away with the hemispherical base of the previous generation all together. Schiller said that the new iMacs will be available in mid-September.
