INK_BLAST | EXPLAINING THIS MESS TO MY (FUTURE) KID, ON IM
2008-10-02 07:51:00 As our collective heads spun round and round the last couple of weeks, I have been thinking about how one day, as a parent to a teenager studying American history, I will have to explain what is happening at this moment, both politically and economically. That has left me trying to make sense of a presidential campaign in which one party swiftly set women's lib back about 50 years by choosing as a VP one of the most ill-equipped and ridiculous female politicians to ever be sworn into elected office; thinking about a Republican presidential candidate who stands up and lies to everyone within earshot, again and again; feeling at once elated and emotionally-handcuffed by having the first Black presidential contender who merits the accolades he has received since that fateful Democratic convention speech in Boston, but understanding that he is bound by the social and racial constraints that define his existence as a gifted Black man in this country; thinking about how bad mortgages in ...

The future of Qatar?
2008-09-23 13:00:00 The New York times carried a fascinating article about the contradictory culture of Dubai two days ago. (You can read the article here, but you will have to sign up first (for free)).The article explores the nature of Dubai, an Islamic city where you can drink alcohol and party till night. Western freedom lives side by side by mosques open 24 hours a day. Unlike many other Islamic countries, it is a place where people can choose to enjoy the vices of the West or to follow their religion to the full without the repression that exists elsewhere.Qatar is often compared to Dubai and there are many similarities. Both are exploding with growth, although Qatar is lucky enough to fund its growth with oil revenue rather than with debt. Both are also experiencing a dramatic change in culture.There is also conflict. There are both conservative and liberal elements in the country: those who want to continue to modernise and extend freedoms to those who want it, and those who want Qatar and Qa...

2008-09-21 06:12:00 Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel, a Heisman finalist last season, signed and returned a Sports Illustrated magazine I sent to him in December of 2007. That request, care of the Tigers' athletic department, took nearly 300 days. Daniel, a senior from the state of Texas, threw for over 4000 yards while completing nearly 70% of his passes last fall and is a former First Team All-Academic Big XII selection. He earned Second Team All-America honors last year and was named the 2007-2008 Big XII Offensive Player of the Year and Conference Male Athlete of the Year.Also signing was Michigan freshman wide receiver Darryl Stonum, who returned a pair of index cards in about two months.

Here we discuss the area of Philosophy and the Religion in order to complete the whole picture. First of all a note on, perhaps surprising, aspects of Religion: The basis of thinking of believers as well as non-believers is identical. If non-believers are of the opinion, they are free of religious limitations and think clearly on scientific lines, so this shows actually their incapacity to admit the influence of religion on our way of thinking.One should accept this fact in order to understand the errors in the usual way of thinking, giving a shocking dimension to the usual concepts of finding problem solutions.In western systems, one is inclined in religious matters to make a comparison between bananas and Neem-tree, i.e. one compares, what is actually incomparable, e.g. a religion with a total life system.

Bomb The Bass - Future Chaos (¡K7, 2008)
2008-08-28 10:26:00 Cualquier joven británico que en 1987 tuviera edad de merecer discotecas se acuerda de Beat Dis, uno de los hitazos de 1987 que firmaban unos misteriosos Bomb The Bass que además tenía toda la pinta de ser un import norteamericano que al final se descubrió que no. En realidad era el proyecto de Tim Simenon que con lo que había ganado pinchando en clubs de Londres se había comprado un sampler que mostró al mundo con ese hit en cuestión. De pronto se convirtió en un pionero en el manejo de ese artilugio al igual que otros proyectos de la época como M/A/R/R/S, S'Express o los maestros Coldcut. Ese mismo año 1987 aparecía en la portada del New Musical Express como el primer Dj que se convertía en productor, o sea que se daba por iniciada la tan cacareada ?cultura del Dj? en el ámbito ?homemade studio?. Con ese hit, Simenon demostraba a las masas que no hacía falta contar con mucho dinero para alquilar unas cuantas horas de estudio profesional para triunfar en los charts. Después de uno...

The Future of Food
2008-08-19 08:40:00 So I just finished watching "The Future of Food," a documentary film covering the biotechnology industry. This is the industry that brought us genetically modified (GM) food, the patenting of seeds (and therefore, the patenting of life itself - last time I checked, that was God's creation, not some corporation's), and terminator seeds. Terminator seeds produce one crop and then self-destruct. This prohibits the farmer from saving seeds for a second generation, forcing him to buy an entire new batch from the seed manufacturer. Just that people would think up, much less create something so perverse as a "terminator seed" is morally appalling. Especially in the wider context of the problem of hunger. Sick! Anyway, the film explores the ramifications that farmers in the US, Canada, and Mexico have faced, the economic trade issues that have resulted (the US lost billions in crop trade with EU and other markets who reject GM food since it is deemed unsafe by their standards), and the ra...

Future of Computing
2008-08-09 06:17:00 Beyond desktop and mainframe computing, advent of shared applications is another way to meet some or almost all aspects of information technology (IT) needs. Concept of application service provision has come a long way since it first came on the scene in the late 1990s? Originally, the idea of virtual cooperation and application sharing came from Bill Davidow, a venture capitalist and entrepreneur. What Bill foresaw as the future of computing is already in practice; a new IT business model.Hi-tech developments and changes at a fast rate are moving towards convergence of the software, information, technology carriers, and computer engineering. Result: IT structural designs are shifting from desktop and mainframe environments towards Internet based structures. Similarly, software applications are altering from made to order and separately owned solutions towards pre-packaged and Web based solutions. It is in this context that ASP business model is getting more interest as a hot trend....

Plan Your Future Basement Bathroom Before You Build
2008-08-07 02:16:00 If you're getting ready to build a new home then you should be planning a future bathroom before you begin construction. Today more than ever people are building living space in their basements to increase the available living space and value of their home. Having a basement bathroom is a huge bonus for the functionality of finished basements.If you have even the slightest interest in a future basement bathroom then speak with your builder before construction begins. Whether you will build your home on a site with sewer or a septic system it's crucial to plan that bathroom ahead of time and rough in the plumbing. This is true even if you'll need to pump the sewage up in elevation if your basement is lower than the sewer lines.I suggest to all of our customers that they rough-in plumbing for a vanity, toilet and shower. The last thing you want to do is jack hammer out concrete in the future to install the drain lines. In the adjacent photo you can see the vanity waste and vents fo...
