Ah, the joy of logic.

<p> Some people complain about biased newsmedia.</p> <p> The newsmedia operate in a free market as for-profit enterprises.</p> <p> It is reasonable to assume that the majority of the market favors the existing media model, since, in a free market, entities that produce inferior or unpalatable products will lose market share to those who produce superior or more palable products.</p> <p> Therefore, anyone who complains about biased newsmedia must have expectations that do not reflect the majority of the market.</p>

What to set on my IBM T22…

<p> …so that I will get actual ACPI?</p> <p> I played around with my laptop this morning, after I got back from dropping Anne off at work (she took her car in for service today).</p> <p> I installed the HostAP driver for my wireless card, as opposed to the orinoco driver that I&#39;d been using–it <strong>almost</strong> works, but I think the problems may not actually be driver problems–as well as an updated ALSA driver, which has shut up a cosmetic message.</p>

This was 1983, well before the wall came down, and my father&#39;s mother and sister and her husband had all come to visit–we&#39;d been in Germany a little over two years at that time–and so we all went to Berlin.</p> <p> Berlin was an interesting place, although like so much of our time in Europe, I really wasn&#39;t old enough to truly appreciate it. It was definitely the biggest city I&#39;d ever been in, even with a wall running through it.</p>

Reeling in the years…

<p> So, as part of my ongoing quest to have as spare an office as possible (you must understand that I mean spare by my usually cluttered standards–I do not intend to get rid of, say, the four large bookcases full of books, or the several hundred CDs, say; I just want to get rid of all the superfluous shit), I often grab a stack of old magazines I&#39;ve kept around, and start going through them, looking for anything worth cutting out, and recycling the rest.</p>

<p> I&#39;ve never been any sort of partisan of the The Matrix and its follow-ons.</p> <p> Honestly, I didn&#39;t even see it until it had been out on DVD for at least a couple of months, and although I thought it was a fine adventure flick, I certainly didn&#39;t think it was quite deserving of the rabid following it developed–just about anything The Matrix seems to get cited for, I think Philip K.

Quicksilver

<p> Well, I finished it. All told, I think it took me two weeks, which is, for me, an awfully long time for <em>any</em> book. I did read a couple of other things at the same time, but it was all fairly light stuff.</p> <p> The first and most obvious question is, I think, &#34;What is so pathetically wrong with the way that books are sold in this country that a novel reputedly written with a fountain pen, taking place entirely between 250 and 350 years ago, involving various and sundry historical events and persons, is going to end up shelved under <em>Science Fiction/Fantasy</em> in most bookstores?&#34;</p>

Why we know about the early history of the blues…

<p> In the &#39;30s and &#39;40s, the Library of Congress sponsored John Lomax and his son Alan&#39;s peregrinations around the South recording folk songs (rather broadly interpreted, I suppose), in the hopes of preserving the music of a culture that was on the cusp of enormous change.</p> <p> I can&#39;t help feel that it is unlikely that a corporation would undertake to do this–there is no obvious market incentive. And yet this collection of music (and there&#39;s a lot of stuff, not just music, <a href="http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/ammemhome.html)">available at the Library of Congress&#39;s American Memory collection</a> can reasonably be said to lead directly to rock and roll in some very easily traceable ways (these recordings mark the first appearance of Leadbelly and Son House, for instance, both influences on rock and roll bands to the present day).</p>

From further down in that same post from Neil…

<p> bq.. Dear Neil, other people who may or may not read this</p> <p> I am a 23-year old soon to be school librarian and have been enjoying a lot of the random library banter that&#39;s been on your blog lately. I thought I would send in some more info and thoughts becuase I am sure whatever in box this goes to isn&#39;t clogged enough.</p> <ol> <li>&#34;Where&#39;s Waldo&#34; has been challenged and banned so many times because one page features a beach scene on which the sharp eyed viewer may notice a sun bathing woman who has been startled and whose bikini has fallen off. This small illustrator reveals the shocking truth to our children that there are breasts in this world and that women have them. Thank God for all right thinking parents out there who have shielded the innocent lambs of the world from this menace.</li> <li>Libraries sometimes have to play games with where they put their books, because the librarians feel it&#39;s more important to have the books in the library. Hence you find some graphic novels in more adult areas, while others may be in a YA section. Librarians want to buy the books that people want. My public library used to have the all of the Sandman graphic novels, until someone stole/lost. Library patrons, tell your librarians what you want. Library budgets are being cut like crazy, but if a couple of people say they want the same things, your librarians should try and find a way to help you out. Graphic Novels are The New Hot Topic of library science so strike now while the iron is hot. Frankly I can&#39;t wait till I finish my MLIS in Dec. and get myself a high school library so I can start a graphic novel collection and get angry parent phone calls.</li> </ol> <p>And in the event this gets posted for the wider world to see, do something really radical and subversive that will threaten the morals of society. Read a banned book, banned book week runs from Sept 20-27. If nothing else, pick up Harry Potter. Hundreds of parents swear it will cause you to lose all respect for authority and worship Satan.</p>

Why I may be a CarMax customer for life…

<p> So, drove the car home last night, then drove it around a bit this afternoon, and finally realized that the reason my respiratory tract seemed to sieze up when I had the top up was because the car was suffused with old cigarette smoke.</p> <p> You see, my nose is not the greatest for detecting subtle odors, or even certain types of unsubtle oders, but it&#39;s whiz-bang at detecting substances that irritate it. If I sit in the car for a while, eventually I can actually make out the stale cigarette odor.</p>

<p> The fajita recipe–you know, the one that involves laying pieces of meat right on the hot coals–works brilliantly, though there is definitely a leap of faith involved the first time around.

Hello,

I&#39;m a time traveler stuck here in 2003. Upon arriving here my dimensional = warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LL= C Lasers to repair my Generation 3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on m=

  1. I am going to need a new DWG unit, prefereably the rechargeable AMD w=

rist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200 warp stabiliz= ers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display. I will take whatever model you have in stock, as long as its received cert= ification for being safe on carbon based life forms.

In terms of payment:

I dont have any Galactic Credits left. Payment can be made in platinum gol= d or 2003 currency upon safe delivery of unit. Please transport unit in ei= ther a brown paper bag or box to below coordinates on Sunday July 27th at = (exactly 3:00pm) Eastern Stand Time. If you miss this timeframe please ema= il me.

42.4845467 &amp;amp; Longitude -71.1576157 and the ground is 101.3&#39; above sea leve=

Although those coordinates are a secure guarded area, these channels throu= gh email are never secure. Unfortunately it is the only form of communicat= ion I have right now. There is a good chance that sombody will try to redi= rect the signal. The unit must be teleported directly in a way that nobody will be able to interfere with the transference. After unit has been sent please email me at: info@federalfundingprogram.co= m with payment instructions. Do not reply directly back to this email. Thank You dash zshvpth u e fokyg exitfzu mwoqufm _65.ADC.1C8_CA &lt;/awilson&gt;&lt;/mdorman&gt;&lt;/awilson&gt;&lt;/mu&gt;&lt;/mdorman&gt;&lt;/awilson&gt; </pre>
