"He who does not at some time, with definite determination consent to the terribleness of life, or even exalt in it, never takes possession of the inexpressible fullness of the power of our existence." -- Rilke




Love,
        the powering,
                the Widening,
                light
                unraveling
                all faces followers of


                All colors, beams of
                woven thread,
                the Skin


                alight that
                warms itself
                with life.


-- Akhenaton, "Hymn to the Sun"

glub glub

Previously, climate models have estimated a loss of summer ice in the Arctic around the year 2100 or beyond. However, the observations show that things are well ahead of schedule and an ice-free summer by 2030 is quite possible. Proxy climate records suggest that if the Arctic were to become free of sea ice during summers, it would be the first time this has happened in as many as 800,000 years.

PSA

a friend of mine was telling me recently that cell carriers like verizon charge up to $4.50 + tax or require a monthly subscription for ringtones of popular songs (you've got to be kidding!), so i went looking for a free alternaticve, which i knew existed even though i'd never looked into it, neither having nor wanting a cellphone myself, just by scanning sites like lifehacker now and then.

so, for anyone who's interested, here you go:

1. Go here and download the audacity software -- the link above will guide you through the process of creating a ringtone from your mp3.

2. Visit 3 guppies to upload, configure and send the tone to your cell. You need the carrier, model of your phone and phone number to do this. It's very easy.


can't believe what these gangsters get away with. . .

no seriously -- hang up and drive

Laws like the one going into effect next July in Cali banning cell use while driving (unless hands-free) should have been passed years ago

i don't like adding laws to the books, but these dimwits won't get the message any other way, i don't think.

hopefully the state govt will text all cell users in cali so they uh get the message.

everlasting blort links to this tImE magazine photoessay on "the birth of punk" 30 years ago; it has some nice pics, but overall is weak and inaccurate -- try the Don Letts DVD Punk: Attitude for a far better take, and one of the best films about music period

for all you scorpios out there

the american dialect society declared "plutoed" the word of the year 2006

in the sense of demoted or devalued, like the planet pluto was by the astronomy combine last year.

one of my new least favorite words.

I haven't watched any 9/11-related films, (though The Power of Nightmares was certainly inspired by the aftermath) but Roger Copeland's The Unrecovered sounds like a good way to observe the recent anniversary

if only one could find it on disc. . .

here's the trailer.

very few google results -- it seems to have disappeared.

this is a bad sign

virus devastates US bee population

"50 to 90 percent"? that's a pretty loose count. . .

i'm surprised i haven't heard of this -- bees play a major part in many plant species' life cycle.

review of the double bunuel set including the rarely seen The Young One, one of his most unusual (in the context of his oeuvre) and interesting films

Jonathan Rosenbaum turned me onto this in his Essential Cinema: On the Necessity of Film Canons, and it's essential viewing for bunuel enthusiasts and cinephiles in general.
