Political Human Sacrifice, the summer
reality series

Political Human Sacrifice, the summer
reality series 09/09/2004 12:03 AM
Reality shows meet real politics as radio talk show hosts John and Ken have chosen Republican David Dreier and Democrat Joe Baca as their Political Human Sacrifices of 2004. Dreier is the chairman of the House Rules Committee who wiel ds tremendous power. But here in Southern California, Dreier is under fire for his pro-outsourcing and pro-illegal immigration stands.

With Dreier's winning vote margin being 45,000, can one radio talk show beat the pundits and upset an entrenched incumbent? The pair will be campaigning against Dreier and Baca every day until the general election. The talk hosts might be getting a little help from, of all people, Larry Flynt's Hustler Magazine, who is in the process of working on a story that will "out" Congressman Dreier (as first reported by the blog which was previously discussed here). Dreier's challenger must be overjoyed.

Cameraphone hysteria recapitulates
portable camera hysteria of 1888 07/20/2004 04:33 PM
Amazing PBS piece traces the history of the reaction to the portable camera -- eerily familiar to the reaction today to the phonecam.

The appearance of Eastman's cameras was so sudden and so pervasive that the reaction in some quarters was fear. A figure called the "camera fiend" began to appear at beach resorts, prowling the premises until he could catch female bathers unawares. One resort felt the trend so heavily that it posted a notice: "PEOPLE ARE FORBIDDEN TO USE THEIR KODAKS ON THE BEACH." Other locations were no safer. For a time, Kodak cameras were banned from the Washington Monument. The "Hartford Courant" sounded the alarm as well, declaring that "the sedate citizen can't indulge in any hilariousness without the risk of being caught in the act and having his photograph passed around among his Sunday School children."

"BOB" bag causes midflight hysteria

"BOB" bag causes midflight hysteria 08/02/2004 10:33 AM
Bruce Schneier says,

More stupid security, this time from Australia. Flight attendent finds air-sickness bag with the letters "BOB" written on it. In a dizzying feat of delusion, she imagines that "BOB" stands for "Bomb on Board," and convinces the captain to turn the plane around and make an emergency landing. I try to draw some actual lessons from this bit of stupidity.

Li nk. This certainly is stupidity. Everyone knows "B.O.B." is nothing more than a really good Outkast song from the album Stankonia. Don't fear the funk!

DOJ: P2P is bad for national security --
new heights of hyperbole and hysteria! 08/03/2004 05:15 AM
The US Justice Department has decided that file-sharing isn't just a copyright problem, it's also an issue of National Security:

Our economy is so based on intellectual property ideas that, unless we can protect them, we're really looking at a situation where it's going to hurt our ability to survive as a country.

Secondly, so much of what we do now involves computers, whether it be with software or other types of communication lines. Often, intellectual property is a key component to the things we do to protect ourselves as a country.

One of my cats just woke me up. As far as I can tell, he just wanted to play. At 3:45am. And now I'm awake. So I've been tossing the furry mouse for him. I suppose it could be worse....

Dancing With Cats

Dancing With Cats 06/09/2004 01:01 AM
I just got home from having coffee with a friend at my favorite cafe in West Hollywood. There's a zany new age bookstore down the street. Sometimes I pop in for the sole purpose of sneering at book titles like Tantric Sex for Dummies and Is Your Pet Psychic?

But tonight was no ordinary night of snorting and hiding my face in the Feng Shui soy candle display. A little paperback gem was hiding on the shelf below that black velvet UFO portrait of The High Eck Master. I found a very special large-format book called Dancing With Cats (Chronicle Books, 1999). It's filled with pictures of humans fannying about in tights, striking "I-Wish-I-Were-Baryshnikov" poses -- together with cats who doing the same thing. The text is equally rich. Straightfaced talk of "multicat" interspecies dance ensembles as a tool for enlightenment, think Busby Berkeley with hairballs and chakras. What's so awesome about this book: (a) 100% irony-free, and (b) it HAS to be Photoshoppery. It's, like, straight out of Worth. As if someone positions the humans, shoots them, then goes back, someone else hurls a cat accross the room and photographs that, then everything's composited in a terpsichorean orgy of catpixels.

There's a website for this book with a teaser thumbnail gallery, some awesome MPEG movies, and online tips for would-be "catdancers" (The question to ask is not "Will my cat dance with me?" but rather "Will I dance with my cat?"). Dig the pre-dance exercises:

Before we can begin dancing with our cats, we must first make contact with them. We can't simply put on music and expect that our cats will dance with us. We have to first align our dynamic vibration systems with theirs and bring those systems into a kind of confluence before we can build the energy levels through the dance that are necessary to attain the higher vibrationary states which enable us to channel the infinite power of the universe.

You see, human beings and cats are not simply physical bodies confined within a barrier of skin or fur. We are also made up of dynamic energy systems which extend out, and interact with, every other energy system around us.

There's a simple exercise you can try right now as you sit in front of your computer. It's one of a number of what we call mirroring exercises that will allow you to bring your body into an energy-centered relationship with your cat and prepare you to dance with it... a simple purring technique. Remember that purring is the way a cat modulates its energy reserves in order to restore its psychic equilibrium.

So, roll yourself a catnip fattie and smoke this: Link

Watching Cats

Watching Cats 06/22/2004 02:41 AM
I Like To Watch: A photographic record of cats transfixed; self-referential cats; cat Witnesses of Our Time; cat onlookers; cats gazing stupidly at infinity; lightly hypnotized brainpan-fried cats; feline couch potatoes; cats afflicted by the staring disease; briefly and easily amused cats; UN observer cats; guilty bystander cats. All in all, an extremely important investigation into the perennial question of how to hold a cat's attention. [Click on "Cats", funnily enough.]
