Wii Will Rock U
Sunday's SuperBowl game in Miami was a soggy mess - it's one of the only sporting events I watch each year and I think this one could easily be called the "See-Thru" SuperBowl... any white fabric on a player's uniform automatically became transparent in the wet, and skin started to glisten, too - so there was a) a lot of glare from the pink players and the Colts' white uniforms rendered their padding visible... the black players on the Chicago side, however, who wore white pants, were obviously wearing only jocks as the straps were plainly visible and their dark behinds were easily visible. Silly stuff.
What 'Israel's right to exist' means to Palestinians. A very good essay in The Christian Science Monitor today.
The Wii - a Lazy Sunday review. I'm totally getting one of these things for my son's birthday.
I am reading Jared Diamond's "Collapse" lately, which features a run-down of the fall of the Rapa Nui/Easter Island civilization as a 'clear-cut' example of ecocide. This fellow has a terrific collection of photos of Easter Island and its moai, the gigantic statues that were part of the island's undoing.
