If All
Stories Were Written Like Science Fiction Stories. "Roger and
Ann needed to meet Sergey in San Francisco.
'Should we take a train, or a steamship, or a plane?' asked Ann.
'Trains are too slow, and the trip by steamship around South America
would take months,' replied Roger. 'We’ll take a plane.'"

Are you your stories?
Are you your stories?

Warning -- if you're the type of person who doesn't watch movie
trailers and you haven't seen Big Fish, skip this section. On the
other hand, I promise not to reveal anything about the movie that
isn't in the trailer.
Tim Burton, the director and producer of Big Fish, is a master
story-teller. Is there anything more to Tim Burton than his stories?
Suppose I met him at a party and asked "Who are you really, I mean
without the stories?" Could he give a meaningful answer? I suspect
Burton is telling us, in Big Fish, no. Speaking through one of his
characters he says "I can be who ever you want me to be."
My uncle, who died a few months ago, was a big story-teller. We
used to joke when he'd start to tell a story that we'd heard dozens of
times -- oh that's story number 278,291. In his stories, as with all
our stories, he's the hero, he overcomes great odds to prevail, in a
funny, lesson-learning way. Today my uncle is dead and guess what,
there's nothing more to him now than his stories, and our stories
about him. Do any of them have anything to do with who the true man
was? See, that's really hard to say.
We seem to think there's more to a person, that you can sort of
lift up the floorboard, and underneath the stories, find the soul, the
essence of the person. But I'm beginning to wonder. Could it be that
our purpose is to tell a story, and that the better lived a life is,
the better the story that survives after you're gone?
The story behind this movie really gets you thinking. And that
kind of story, for me, is the very best kind.

"I

Some of the most breathtaking woodcuts I've seen a good while
illustrating four sparse but moving stories. After a decade of
metafiction and
Raygun typography, this
letterpressed book of mythic narrative is refreshing, and inspiring.

03/14/2005 05:51 PMFrom a friend who is on the Harvard faculty:
i take a car
service to the airport this morning. driver is an older irish boston
type, very talkative; do i know the history of cambridge, the reason
behind the establishment clause ("[another Harvard professor]
didn't..."), etc. as we're hitting the airport, he hands me his
self-published tract on the crisis in public education and how to
solve it by canceling the Simpsons.
"you should put it on the web," i say, which is what i usually say
when handed a self-published tract by a cab driver. "i did," he said,
"and it's under a creative commons license." (and, he adds
disapprovingly, [the other prominent Harvard professor] hadn't even
heard of creative commons.")
i had to tell him to put it in a wiki just to retain my sense of being
anywhere near the cutting edge.
Here's the
book.

Deranged X-rated toy fanfic. Wayward Barbies doing bestiality
threeways, bookshelf quickies, BDSM, homoerotic roleplaying, and other
activities so hot they oughtta melt plastic.
"silver plastic molded Terminator Arnie and big-armed Last Action
Hero Arnie get to know each other. Terminator is just two molded
pieces of thin silver plastic, but Last Action Hero is a high quality
articulated doll, with holes through his clenched hands which once
clearly locked into something; a car, perhaps, or one of his enormous
weapons."

Computer disaster Stories!
Computer disaster Stories!
02/05/2005 10:16 PMRobert Scoble dropped his Tablet from about 4 feet up onto a
concrete pad and it survived. He has called out for Computer disaster
stories.
This reminds me of a little story. I was traveling with a bunch of
co-workers and we all got stuck in this awful dormitory situation.
Imagine 5 grown men in a small room with 2 bunk beds and a cot and one
bathroom, no Internet and a TV that received 2 English channels. It
was terrible but considering we could have been in a tent we kept our
mouths shut.
One of the guys with us loved to sleep. I sleep about 4-5 hours a
day maximum and needed to turn on the lites once in a while and never
did out of respect that this guy get his beauty sleep. On non work
days he was sleeping like 20 hours a day. I was getting pretty sick of
it and one night as I had just got to sleep about 2am he gets up turns
on all the lights and gets in the shower.
I went from mad to really mad and told my bunk mate who was
sleeping on the bottom bunk to rip his sheets of his bed and we would
take his mattress outside. So the co-worker jumps up and yanks the
sheets of this guys bed. Little did we know his laptop was up by his
pillow. And it came flying off at about Mach 2
Ever have one of those moments when things move real slow. Well
this thing slammed into the floor and probably put about a 10g stress
on this thing. I said a few choice comments and the guy comes out of
the shower while we are standing there with our mouths wide open. I am
thinking well I just bought a laptop.
In some sort of divine miracle it survived, the lid was jacked a
little but it worked. No more stripping beds for us. But hey it's
funny now. It was a Dell so I am not sure how it kept from blowing the
screen or cracking something vital.. Bit it was fun to remember it
spinning on the way down. Side note I would have paid for it and in
the end it would have been worth it. Don't sleep to long around me. :)
How about you do you have a computer disaster story. [Scobeliz

Two geek in the kitchen stories
Two geek in the kitchen stories
09/14/2004 12:46 PMOne of my first tasks last night was prepping the shrimp for a dish we
do called "Javanese Fried Rice." Around the kitchen though, everyone
refers to it as, "Javi." I mixed the shrimp in the marinade, and then
Ben told me to cover it, label it, and put it in the walk-in. With my
black marker I wrote, "Java Shrimp, 9/13."
Later in the evening, as dessert orders were coming in, a ticket
printed out that said:
Single scoop!Toffee chips
Erin grabbed the toffee chips off the shelf and handed them to me to
put on the scoop of vanilla ice cream. It took me more than a moment
to realize that what I'd read wasn't "bang Toffee chips" (geek speak
for "no toffee chips") but rather a request to add toffee chips to a
dish that didn't usually come with them.
I have a lot to learn. Or maybe it's unlearn.

Motorola has a
series of short films shot with their new V710 cameraphone. Gizmodo
has taken a bullet for you, watching and digesting the ad-shlock (and
mixing metaphors without gloves) to exhume these five core
messages:
• Hot asian girls can be shallow.
• Bears hate your ringtone, as well.
• Dogs are awful at voicemail.
• Some people like cake.
• Socially unstable people usually marry within one week
of writing a sad song.
