Extreme Cases
Investigations of an argument or idea
suffer greatly from the use
of prematurely applied extreme cases.

Writely
Google now has an online word-processor as well. It bears the name of Writely, it works, and it can pretty much do what Microsoft Word does. Furthermore it gives you the ability to create either read-only or editing permissions for other people on the documents you create. That's just *so* Web 2.0.

7 Reasons the 21st Century Is Making Us Miserable
I think this article, 7 Reasons the 21st Century Is Making Us Miserable by David Wong, is splendid. No less. It hit me in the soft ribs, and I think it concerns plenty other people in this here world as well.

The Century of the Self
I cannot recommend highly enough the documentary 4-part BBC series The Century of the Self. It tells the fascinating and scary story of the use of public relations as a means to public management. The quality of the video is low, but I think the content makes up for it.

BugMeNot
BugMeNot is a most excellent extension, which allows you to right-click in the login fields of free, but irritatingly login-demanding, sites, choose BugMeNot in the right-click menu, and autologin with usernames and passwords from the BugMeNot database. Sweet. Of course it demands the use of Firefox.
Documentaries
throwawayyourtv hosts, among a lot of other cool things, an impressive collection of full length documentaries. I'm not so sure about the copyright issue, but hey - information wants to be free.

The Proporsition
I recommend the movie The Proporsition. It's an atmospheric anti-western, set in Australia. Good acting. Nick Cave wrote the script and made the soundtrack together with the violinist Warren Ellis from Dirty Three.
Spiritualitet
Spiritualitet bliver altid
forvekslet med selv-udvikling,
der altid, i praksis,
er ego-udvikling.
Altid.
Alle forestillinger
om processer
er egoet's.

Free Movies
Today you get a bunch of free movies fallen out of copyright. You can find all sorts of stuff: commercial movies, documentaries, cartoons and stand-up. I especially like the educational movies, like Duck and Cover (1951).
All for your streaming pleasure.
