doh!
Pledge Drive: No More "Bloggers with Laptops" Photos
from Gawker:
A series of news-search accidents lead us to this article and accompanying photo of "[h]ome improvement blogger, Bill Chapman, and his wife, Gay." Nothing against the Chapmans, or homes, or improvements, but this photo is really the last straw. Torturously posed photos of bloggers with laptops have become so common, so de rigueur, that we just roll over and accept them now. Bill Chapman is bloggin' right from that sawhorse! Lookit, he's bloggin' about drywall now. No more complacency. We want to assemble a gallery of these photos for public ridicule. Maybe we'll run a poll, or a contest, or just a hall of shame. Regardless, send your major media bloggers-with-laptops photos to nolaptop@gmail.com. Remember, we're looking for pose. Bloggers at conferences don't count, nor any other situation when the subject might actually be blogging. We want photos that bleed artifice, and we only want them from consequential media organizations or blogs associated with same.

why did i ever leave?
Who Is That Masked Man? It's MEL!
The first screenings of Mel Gibson's new movie "Apocalypto" weren't in New York or Los Angeles -- they were in Oklahoma. And, despite the fact that these were the big debut screenings for the film, Mel and his crew didn't exactly roll out the red carpet.At a screening on Friday, at a casino in Goldsby, Okla., reporters were kept behind partitions. At another screening, at Cameron University on Thursday, Gibson showed up wearing a mask and wig. Not only that, but his Oklahoma-based publicist had said last week that the Oklahoma screenings had been cancelled -- probably to throw reporters off the scent. We all know the kinds of trouble Mel's been through lately, but he might be taking things to an extreme here. "Apocalypto," which is schduled for release on Dec. 8, is set in the last days of Mayan civilization in Mexico.

... So for an episode of “The Office” that featured a business lunch at Chili’s, he struck a special sponsorship deals with that restaurant chain. On another occasion the wireless company Cingular expressed interest in a special marketing campaign. Mr. Silverman noted that one of the show’s main characters, Jim, was going to be in a long-distance relationship with another character, Pam, so naturally “they’re going to be text-messaging each other.”

conflict apples
after weeks of binge drinking and sleeping around, i finally decided it was time to do something wholesome. this past sunday i picked a bushel of apples, drank diet pepsi, made small talk, played an apple themed card game, helped make an apple pie or two and refrained from saying fuck for about 8 hours. it was kind of fun.
sunshine! apples! siobhan!
these empires were plucked illegally from an off limits area of the orchard. we totally almost got busted by some weird old man in a golf cart. good thing i had a low cut shirt on.
I love Facebook.com!
look what i found while stalking old highschool classmates. it's awesome.

I do have a valid driving license...
Wanted: Assistant for Stephen Hawking
ONDON, England (AP) -- Wanted: Bright graduate student to assist world-famous scientist. International travel, developing computer systems and dealing with the press required.
Renowned astrophysicist and best-selling author Stephen Hawking has announced he is looking for a graduate student to work for him for one to two years.
The mathematics professor at the University of Cambridge has done groundbreaking work on black holes and the origins of the universe, making him one of the best-known theoretical physicists of his generation.
The candidate can earn about £23,500 ($44,300) and would likely join Hawking on his many travels abroad, according to a job posting on the university's Web site. Planning lectures, maintaining computer, answering public inquiries and helping with scientific papers are a few of the responsibilities.
One purpose of the job was to aid the professor in areas which he has difficulty due to his disability, the posting said.
The 64-year-old scientist uses a wheelchair and communicates with the help of a computer because he suffers from a neurological disorder called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease. He is almost completely paralyzed.
Chris Burgoyne, who has a bachelor's degree in mathematics at the University of Manchester, served as the professor's assistant from 1998-2000.
He said that during his 17 months working for Hawking he traveled to Berlin and several big cities in the United States including, Chicago, Atlanta, Boston and Washington, and met former President Bill Clinton. Expanding the professor's Web site was one of his main responsibilities.
"Flexibility, stamina and a confident and caring personality, together with a valid driving license, are essential for this demanding job," another advertisement said.
Like mimesis, I too have an undeniably classical pedigree.
The Word of the Day for September 6 is:
mimesis • \muh-MEE-sis\ • noun : imitation, mimicry
Example sentence:Late in her career, the painter became less interested in mimesis and began to experiment in styles of abstraction.
Did you know?"Mimesis" is a term with an undeniably classical pedigree. Originally a Greek word, it has been used in aesthetic or artistic theory to refer to the attempt to imitate or reproduce reality since Plato and Aristotle. "Mimesis" is derived from the Greek verb "mimeisthai," which means "to imitate" and which itself comes from "mimos," meaning "mime." The English word "mime" also descends from "mimos," as do "mimic" and "mimicry." And what about "mimeograph," the name of the duplicating machine that preceded the photocopier? We can't be absolutely certain what the folks at the A. B. Dick Company had in mind when they came up with "Mimeograph" (a trademark name that has since expired), but influence from "mimos" and its descendants certainly seems probable.
