2007-10-10 19:46 The Changing Face of Atlas Shrugged- 50 Yrs Later
Over the years the cover has changed but the book and what each person takes away from the book, does not. Whether you loved it or hated it, you cannot deny that a book that is spoken about 50 yrs after it was written, has its own appeal. We have given our thoughts on the book in different posts over the months, found here, here, here and here, so instead of discussing the personal meaning I took from the book, lets look at the writer and the changing face of the front of the book over the years …

2007-09-23 15:43 Vision of the Future
The Calling I was up at 4 a.m in the morning thinking about stuff. And all of a sudden I saw a vision. I must start production for the feature film: The Schizophrenic Diaries. It's going to be a long process to finish the movie. It will possibly be years. But darn it, it's worth a try. It'll be a lot of up and downs. Maybe some pain along the way. This project will be considered my film school project. After I complete this, I will graduate with a masters in film, without having to pay for my de …

2007-09-08 03:26 A Well Connected Story
As I began to plan this week's wordless image I was absolutely at a loss. I thought, and I thought, and I thought, but nothing--- absolutely nothing came to mind. I even contemplated NOT having a wordless image. The situation sort of reminded me of my Language Arts students when I announce that we will be doing creative writing for most of the period. There are always a few students who wail, .but, I can t think of anything to write about. I remind students to check out their idea list we be …

2007-08-23 14:34 Danish Politics Teaser
My colleague Flemming Juul Christiansen has written a good round-up of the last week's events in Danish politics. I hope, that it will be posted on the PSA Scandinavian Politics website. If not, I shall try to convince Flemming to publish it somewhere. Meanwhile, I'll repeat a comparison between 2007 and 1990: The government has a plan. So do the Social Democrats. Just as 1990. Privatisations and outsourcing are not political issues. The government and SD play the same game with regard to health …

2007-07-11 18:03 Battlestar Galactica: Razor Teaser
Last night, during the season premiere for their show Eureka, the Sci-Fi Channel quietly teased Razor, the upcoming Battlestar Galactica kinda-sorta movie featuring Admiral Cain and the Battlestar Pegasus: primarily a flashback film detailing the Battlestar Pegasus' fight against the Cylons after the destruction of the Twelve Colonies. There's not a lot of detail here, but JP over at the excellent SF Signal blog enthusiastically opines: Just watching that gets me excited about the movie. It remi …

"Building One America" Cooper Union June 21, 2007 Thank you, Governor Cuomo, for introducing me and for inviting me to share some thoughts with all of you today. I want to use our time together to continue a conversation about the economic life of our country: those served by it and those left out in the cold; the fundamental values our economy elevates and the ones it violates. More than that, I want to talk about what we have to do to put our economy back in line with those fundamental values …

2007-06-18 04:26 eighth wave
Aemae -- MAW [isounderscore] This is scary, teeth-grinding stuff; where Aemae's previous releases were more droning in nature, this one is considerably noisier, grating stuff, especially on "PDE," which is built on harsh snippets of glitch electronica and reverb applied in the interests of sonic ugliness. There's some of the wind-tunnel drone aesthetic used to such eerie effect on the previous album, but here it's used to envelop and break up the distorted, crunchy sounds of digital noise. The u …
