愛 |
- Earlier Rash would look forward at this post and
wonder about all this current talk of Love, which is written
'AI' in romanji. Its kanji, above; one of the
several basic ideograms the Japanese borrowed from the Chinese.
- Memories
of a City That Does Not Exist is an AI video
channel, for 'Sky City Showa 101'. Warning: noodle
slurping.
- A third recent comics discovery in the Archive,
The
World Of Wood, all fives Eclipse issues, published five
years after he
died.
- Another Hope It's True (or is this a bogus Sharper
Image product?) The
World's First Portable Laser Air Defense - Detecting
mosquitoes with Lidar and eliminating them with Laser for
cleaner, smarter, and more advanced mosquito control.

- My feed has perked up considerably since joining
/r/vexillology/ - this
is Malibu's municpal but the real fun is with all the new
flags people submit.
- The millennial, exhuberant "Koyaanisqatsi"-ish Chinese
New
Boy video which mentions Windows98 I quoted in a Metafilter
post yesterday (where I've been on a bit of
a
roll, recently).
- People will come to adore the technologies
that undo their capacity to think.
...as quoted by this
guy (Campbell Walker) who wants you to put down your phone and
channel your frustrated, creative energies into reading and
publishing 'zines. The
dirty little 'zine
site makes it easy. Stay Eager!

- If you were a fan of the early-web Yahoo! style
internet directories, check out
curlie.org.
- Going
to the People in Russia during the mad
summer of 1874, when a mass exodus
from Moscow and Saint Petersburg of up to 4000 students, some of
whom were offspring of the nobility, traveled to rural parts of the
empire in order to live among the peasants and "prepare them for
their future political role." Compare with the rusticated
youth of the
Down
to the Countryside phase of the Cultural Revolution (which
reminds me of two things, unrelated:
that Led
Zeppelin song and
Young
Lust #5.)
