Before Sunrise @Everything2.com
Excerpt from the quirky, borderline encyclopedic Everything2.com: Before Sunrise @Everything2.com: "If you could take a whole bunch of questions and theories that relate to birth, life, relationships, and death and have two mutually attractive and intelligent people meet up to discuss them and maybe even fall in love at the same time, then Before Sunrise would pretty much be the result of filming them for a night.
What is interesting is the way in which the extremely sharp dialogue moves in cycles through these topics like the chronology of life itself, woven together with the dynamics of boy meets girl, of European meets American and the idea that even circumstances of complete alienation can bring about the strongest of connections. "

"Exploring the Residual Landscape: Nature transformed through industry is a predominate theme in my work. ... These images are meant as metaphors to the dilemma of our modern existence; they search for a dialogue between attraction and repulsion, seduction and fear."

Representations of Global Capital
Toether with Chomsky's blog, a radical, intelligent critique: Representations of Global Capital: "Like the other ads in this campaign, this ad is structured by using the technique of splicing together the speech of many actors conducted in many separate interviews to create the impression that they are altogether uttering a common, shared idea.

Radified Guide to Ripping CD audio & MP3 encoding [EAC + LAME]
Radified Guide to Ripping CD audio & MP3 encoding [EAC + LAME]: "This guide presents what the gurus of the encoding scene consider the *best* way to rip & encode CD audio. By 'gurus' I mean the people who have taken the time to participate in blind listening tests, and compare a variety of music, encoded with a variety of encoders, at a variety of settings (also called arguments, or switches). I'm talking about people who are serious about music.
The word 'best' used here refers to audio fidelity, not ripping or encoding speed. In other words, this guide focuses on maximizing the quality of your encoded files, rather than minimizing the time it takes to produce them.
You'll be glad to know that all the requisite programs referenced here are freeware. That's because the best software in the ripping & encoding world is free. So put away your credit card and break out your CD collection.
Before we get started, you should know that this guide is available for download in a single zipped PDF file posted here (78-KB, updated 05jan2004), which allows you to store the entire guide locally, on your system, for quick & easy reference, and off-line viewing."

How come it ain't so simple? Intricate blog ... Daring Fireball: "Eric S. Raymond — the renowned Linux/Open Source evangelist/essayist — couldn’t figure out how to connect to a shared printer. So he wrote an essay describing the problem (the UI for printer configuration on his Linux system is horrible) and proposing a solution (open source developers should do a better job with UI design).

Lost, or Just Lost in Translation?
CD Times - Soundtrack: "Sofia Coppola turned to a story of a relationship that blooms between Americans who feel lost, not only in Japan, where the film is set, but also in their own marriages. Lost In Translation, in using its soundtrack as effectively as Coppola's earlier film, mixes Japanese pop, chilly electronica, swirling eighties indie and drunken karaoke to reveal how foreign it's possible to feel when in Japan."
