Also, what the hell is this?

The first story is about Google. So there's the Google adwords happening,
and NN saying using Google is reactionary.

The second url is about life and death protocols for cyber-avatars, in game
theory, if I'm not mistaken. Game theory and coding relates to a lot of
digital art. What does this sony board mean?

I've got some bad news as well. I've had some people tell me that I've
become an over-intellectual stooge. One possible fix I'm thinking of is the
idea that on lists, people speak in tongues. They don't hear-ponder-answer
like other kinds of writing. There's not a single thing wrong with this,
it's the only thing that makes these lists interesting—in my opinion.

I think you might say that Empire makes it taboo to speak in tongues, and
thereby regulates every piece of info through it's two-phase system.

Do we all agree on that? Yet I think the difference between Empire then and
now, is that the first 2k of empire were a journey, separate vectors, and
this 2k we have hit the collision of the two into "the present" which they
say will last forever, since history is ended.

I'm not trying to throw out a tacky semi-religious reference (speaking in
tongues) with no intellectual backup. I think that lists fit the idea of
speaking in tongues by simple virtue of the open-read-delete-react function,
by which you really do not know what the other reader-agent will think. You
say something, you don't know what the other mingler will say, so it's
speaking in tongues, a "who knows" kind of proposition. New trendy magazine
is called "Blender," maybe they will talk up net.art for us.

Side note; was thinking artists should join cults, not guilds. Seriously, I
think it makes sense in even the obvious ways. Not to mention organizations
like from the Sixties. Seriously, I wonder if Yoko Ono is thinking "God I
wish someone would invent a new Fluxus for this disaster like we did in the
Sixties."
