Now there is one outstandingly important fact
regarding Spaceship Earth,and that is that
no instruction book
came with it.*
The Things
to do are:the things
that need doing,
that you see need
to be done,and that no one else
seems to see
need to be done.
You
never
change
things
by
fighting
the
existing
reality.To
change
something,
build
a
new
model
that
makes
the
existing
model
obsolete.~ Richard Buckminster ‘Bucky’ Fuller (1895–1983)

YouTube Video of the Day: DRONE - Strange Craft April 28, 2008

Reports that say that something hasn’t happened
are always interesting to me, because as we know,
there are “known knowns”:
there are things we know we know.We also know there are “known unknowns”: that is to say,
we know there are some things we do not know.But there are also “unknown unknowns” —
the ones we don’t know we don’t know.

Song of the Day: The Shins - Young Pilgrim April 27, 2008
Posted by ~V~ in : Images, Song of the Day, Sounds , add a commentA cold and wet November dawn,
and there are no barking sparrows —
just emptiness to dwell upon.
i fell into a winter slide,
and ended up the kinda kid
who goes down chutes too narrow…
But i learned fast
how to keep my head up,
’cause i know there is this side of me that
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
fly the whole mess into the sea…

Odeo player UPDATE ***UPDATED*** April 7, 2008
Posted by ~V~ in : Song of the Day, Sounds, Uncategorized, Web Resources , 1 comment so far*UPDATE*: Odeo’s all good now. Check the comments for the latest info…
Don’t worry, people - the Odeo player isn’t gone forever.
It’s appearing and disappearing intermittently, and when it does appear,
sometimes the songs load and sometimes they don’t, but this kinda shizz
happens whenever they’re upgrading the system or whatever, idk…
i’m sure it will be back up 100% again soon, so in the meantime, please
enjoy the many other fine posts here @ opw that don’t utilize the player.
Maybe you could even leave a comment (hint).
i’ll delete this post when Odeo starts behaving again.
