Fu Manchu and the Ethnic Future in Science Fiction

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 09:19:07 PDT
Back in the 1920s and 30s, when Asian immigration to the US and Europe was picking up steam, prominent science fiction writers like Philip Nowlan and H.P. Lovecraft created speculative scenarios starring massive hordes of horrible, slanty-eyed, intelligent Asians who were either taking over or destroying the world. Lets look at this historic trend.

5 deaths, 38 illnesses being investigated in Canadian listeria outbreak; sub spokesthingy says consumers are 'hypochrondriacs'

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 22:57:22 PDT
It’s been a bizarre day, answering questions about the U.S. moving ahead with approvals for irradiation on some leafy greens, and Canada moving backwards – really backwards – into political grandstanding while people suffer in an expanding listeria outbreak. The latest news is that five deaths are now being investigated and dozens of illnesses. If you watch some of the media clips you’ll see that undeserved Canadian smugness shining through – ‘we figured this listeria thing out really fast,

I wonder how could one spiraled to murdering one spouse. Insurance claims perhaps? Oh blimey. Such a sad story PORTLAND, Ore. - When Susan Kuhnhausen returned home from work one day earlier this month, she encountered an intruder wielding a claw hammer.

Thanks Yahoo for this one: Movie Disasters - Historic Box Office Bombs

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 22:18:22 PDT
I was aware of most of these huge disasters but not the cost to produce compared to earnings. The biggest shocker for me was the cost of Pluto Nash: THE ADVENTURES OF PLUTO NASH (2002) Budget: $100 million, US Box Office: $4.4 million In terms of sheer numbers, this flick is one of the biggest box-office flops in cinema history. Eddie Murphy was apparently so embarrassed by the end result that he refused to do any publicity for the movie. I will stand up for THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAU

A proposed bill to amend Canada’s Copyright Act

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 22:37:20 PDT
A week ago the minority federal government of Canada, and Industry Minister Jim Prentice, tabled an amendment to the Copyright Act. Entitled Bill C-61, its purpose is to bring Canadian copyright law into compliance with the current WIPO treaty (this despite their being no international legal obligation to implement WIPO - it hasn’t been ratified by Canada). Prentice states in a Toronto Star letter to the editor that C-61 will allow… “…the recording of webcasts I think he means podcasts and

Naming Trends of 2008 (Mid-year Edition)

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 07:11:54 PDT
If 2007 was the Year of Naming Giddily--remember Meebo, Thoof, Kwout, Tapatap, and Oovoo, to cite just a few examples?--then 2008 is shaping up as Reality Bites Back. Real-word names, real-word phrases, and compound names formed from real words are suddenly on the rise. True, some of them make no more sense than last year's silly, baby-talky coinages. But at least they're recognizable, pronounceable, and relatively memorable ... and don't make you feel like a total idiot when you repeat them.

Iraq, Nader

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 20:26:13 PDT
Tuesday and I'm really bummed because I thought it was Wednesday for some reason. I really went through the day thinking, "Hump day. Weekend's almost here." And when I sat down at the computer to write I noticed stuff saying it was Tuesday online and thought, "Huh?" I was so hopeful until reality sunk in! This is from Edward Luce's "Obama under fire over Iraq troop pledge:" US presidents have a history of abandoning campaign promises by pointing out that “the world looks different from here” w

Andy Driscoll Commentary on Archbishop’s Cancellation of Church’s Gay Pride Celebration

Andy Driscoll is the host of KFAI’s Truth to Tell, a show I have come to love and a must-listen for anyone who is curious about the issues we face in the Twin Cities metro. While something about Andy’s voice vaguely creeps me out, dude has been around a long time, knows his stuff, and knows all the players. Apparently Archbishop John Nienstedt’s cancellation of St. Joan of Arc’s Pride celebration got Andy’s dander up. This commentary is included in the show notes. I’ve not yet listened to the

James Garner is one of my favorite actors. I love that slow-drawl voice - the self-deprecating humor. He suffered a stroke last week, but the good news is that he is doing well. From the Associated Press: James Garner, who was hospitalized late last week after suffering a minor stroke, is doing well and should be going home shortly, the veteran television and film star’s publicist said Tuesday.

Coworking, Childcare, Cubes & Crayons

Mon, 12 May 2008 07:00:10 PDT
Coworking continues to evolve and mold to the increasingly blurred boundaries between domestic and professional life. An area often overlooked is that of childcare for remote workers and home workers. I have colleagues and collaborators who, despite the fact they’re self-employed and work largely from a home office, still need to employ childcare. Some may see this as an unnecessary overhead, but it’s actually desperately needed in order to provide focus whilst working from home. Enter Cubes
