People grow old only by deserting their ideals, Macarthur had written. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair.

Content is no longer being hocked, but links are.
danah boyd, in her Web 2.0 Expo address, November 17, 2009
Wonder if she means “hocked” (meaning: pwned) or “hawked”—because content no longer being hawked, now that’s interesting.

favorite part about this: there is someone standing behind every lightpainted orb who drew those lines at the same time. you can’t see them, but they could see/hear each other.
we are all of us standing near each other, able to draw circles of light together.

This is the edge of experience, grenzen der seele
where those on the verge of human understanding
the borderline people stand on the shifting islands
among the drowned stars and the tempest.
“The Outer Banks,” Muriel Rukeyser.

When Merlin does the YouTube DJ thing, we all win.
As he points out, nice to see Karen playing the drums (sometimes we forget she did both, the way Nina Simone owned the piano as well as the microphone).
Carpenters - “We’ve only just begun”
Karen with bangs behind the traps is the hotness. Great song, too.

Wired Science is obsessed with spiders too. Welcome, WS. Knew you’d come around. Nice gallery of spiders (and thanks to the wonderful David Sasaki for pointing me to this)—

Can we make a Kickstarter project to fund this Labyrinth sequel already please? I will specifically fund the Bowie portion.

ok so here is my idea for jennifer connelly…. let’s make a labyrinth sequel, we’ll bring back bowie and her plus all the
cutescary muppets but this time she’s a grown up with children and is super stressed and the goblin king steals one of her own kids or something which sends her back into the labyrinth. get tim burton to direct, bowie to wear spandex pants again, it will be fantastic. are you as excited as i am? i knew you’d love it.This plan is brilliant. I would like to win the lottery and become a backer.

with a nicely spiked heel, I’d Gretel these.
Bread shoes are not recommended for ninjas or thieves, who want to avoid leaving a trail of bread crumbs.
also posted by Steven today, an article reporting that a baguette dropped from a bird’s beak has shut down the Large Hadron Collider (really). looks like someone’s been loafing around at work — sorry, couldn’t help myself.
i was just going to post about this but someone beat me to it!

Zizek is my favorite theorist for many reasons—mostly, whenever I miss grad school, I watch video of him expounding and am hugely entertained.
Highly recommend his Twitter account, @zizekspeaks (if only for the bio). Great moment (0:41 in) that culturite points to about consumption—

Slavoj Zizek: The Monstrosity of Christ
Killin it as usual. Watch/listen to the whole thing, but especially at 0:41:13 when he slays organic food, Starbucks, Ethos water & consumption as relief of social responsibility.
