      Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at the Kansas State University, strikes again with this video on youtube about internet. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4CV05HyAbM] Mix it with Everything is Miscellaneous:
      But we all know how reality works, so why worry about what might be possible in some sci-fi alternative universe? [...] Instead of being limited by space and operational simplicity in the number of items it can stock, the digital world can include every item and variation the buyers at Staples could possibly want. Instead of items being placed in one area of the store, or occasionally in two, they can be classified in every different category in which users might conceivably expect to find them. Instead of living in the neat, ordered shelves we find in the Prototype Labs, items can be jumbled digitally and sorted out only when and how a user wants to look for them.

      It's somewhat interesting read the names - better: the tags - used in sites like Diesel Cult, one of the DIESEL universe. They know the trade: few, picked words among the images crowd. cult, preachers, (!) new art, music, style, collection, denim, accessories, fragrances, intimate, kids Stores. Listen carefully the advert. They told you.

      About happiness

      There are bad things and good thing, and what you think has to do with them. But in an unexpected way. We are able to simulate happiness in our frontal brain lobe, and the difference between real happines (we get what we want) and sinthetic happiness (we think we have what we want) would be irrelevant. Are our brain a sort of Resident Second Life? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTO_dZUvbJA] "Stumbling on Happiness" by Daniel Gilbert Copyright © 2006 by Daniel Gilbert

      On the Road has spoken to every generation since it appeared, and it's still got plenty to say in a society where consumer conformity is sold as rebellion by savvy marketers and the tyranny of the pop-culture machine smothers any truly iconoclastic voice.

      than are dreamt of in your Internet, Horatio.

      And therefore as a stranger give it welcome. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. But come; Here, as before, never, so help you mercy, How strange or odd soe'er I bear myself, As I perchance hereafter shall think meet To put an antic disposition on, That you, at such times seeing me, never shall, With arms encumber'd thus, or this headshake, Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase, As 'Well, well, we know,' or 'We could, an if we would,' Or 'If we list to speak,' or 'There be, an if they might,' Or such ambiguous giving out, to note That you know aught of me: this not to do, So grace and mercy at your most need help you, Swear. W. Shakespeare, Hamlet - Act I Scene V

      Epilogue: An Age of Optimism

      "I am optimistic by nature. However, every technology or gift of science has a dark side. Being digital is no exception. The next decade will see cases of intellectual-property abuse and invasion of our privacy. We will experience digital vandalism, software piracy, and data thievery. Worst of all, we will witness the loss of many jobs to wholly automated systems, which will soon change the white-collar workplace to the same degree that it has already transformed the factory floor. The notion of lifetime employment at one job has already started to disappear." Nicholas Negroponte "Being Digital" archives.obs-us.com/obs/english/books/nn/bdcont.htm

      Deep Remix

      "I believe that the "media remixability" which begins around the middle of the 1990s constitutes a fundamentally new stage in the history of media. It manifests itself in different areas of culture and not only moving images - although the later does offer a particularly striking example of this new logic at work. Here software such as After Effects became a petri dish where computer animation, live cinematography, graphic design, 2D animation and typography started to interact together, creating new hybrids. And as the examples mentioned above demonstrate, the result of this process of remixability are new aesthetics and the production of new media species which cannot be reduced to the sum of media that went into them. Put differently, the interactions of different media in the same software environment create cultural species." [complete text at http://pzwart.wdka.hro.nl/mdr/pubsfolder/manovichessay/] Deep Remixability Lev Manovich [fall 2005- spring 2006] (This text was written as part of a Research Fellowship in the Media Design Research programme at the Piet Zwart Institute, Willem de Kooning Academie Hogeschool Rotterdam)
