Owl Pellets for July 22nd through July 23rd
Owl Pellets: My Undigested Internets.
-
- Difference Between – This website is all about answering the question “What is the difference between . . .” It’s a common question so this site should be of some use.
- Bandidos Trial: secret hand signals explained – I can’t imagine how they ever came up with these hand signals. Did you know that holding up eight fingers represents eight? And you’ll never guess what means killing someone. Here’s a hint: It has to do with the neck.
- The Technium: Amish Hackers – The Amish are not as luddite as one might think. They have a fascinating relationship with technology that speaks more to their tastes, needs and values than to fear, greed and vanity. We could all do with a little bit more Amish in our philosophy.
- The Technium: The Unabomber Was Right – I never really believed he was wrong. Just futile, unhappy and a bit crazy. To me, his manifesto always spoke to some important part of industrial man. It was intellectually wrong but emotionally right. Most guys, I think, would like to live in a cabin and fight a monster. Gets harder to do every day.
- Quiet Babylon – Context. Nuance. Memory. Accuracy. Consequence. – This site is devoted to architects vs cyborgs. Architects being those who transform their environment and cyborgs being those who transform themselves. It’s good.
