| 04:17 am - "The Plague of Free."
http://www.metafilter.com/86891/The-Plague-of-Free Doug Rushkoff throws down the gauntlet in his "Radical Abundance" speech at the O'Reilly Web 2.0 conference. Some highlights of the speech: "The only real possible competition to Google and their economy of faux openness would be peer-to-peer exchange."
"As a result of all this freedom the abundance of genuine creative output is declining. We are actually getting the scarce market place demanded by our currency legacy system. The same way the early Renaissance got a scarcity by killing off half the people with the plague."
Some Alternatives:
1: The development of a digital culture that actually respects the labor of individuals.
2: The creation of new modes of currency based in abundance rather than scarcity.

From the
Quotation of the day mailing list, 2008-04-17:
"Fifteen per cent of the population believe the Moon landing
was actually staged in a movie lot in Arizona and somewhat fewer
still believe the Earth is flat. I think they all get together
with the global warming deniers on a Saturday night and party."
-- Al Gore, former U.S. vice-president and environmentalist, in an
interview with Metro.

| 05:13 am - Don't Look at Me Like That
http://viridian5.livejournal.com/1463556.html Of all episodes to replay, adult swim replays #166? How many times do we have to review Orihime's epic failure, stupidity, and uselessness?
Bleach #167: Another time apparently. *sigh*
Then we have Menos Wild Kingdom! It's a wonder any of them ever formed a team to begin with given that the greatest desire of all of them seems to be to eat each other. The whole "Eat us, Grimmjow!" segment made me snicker. At least it gives viewers a slightly better idea of what's going on.
If I were Ichigo, I wouldn't walk off until I knew Grimmjow was finished. He'd already made the mistake of departing while giving an unexpected mobile enemy a good shot at his back.
