Every generation of secrecy-minded bureaucrats needs a breeding
ground, a dark, dank place where they can perfect the ability to
hide their machinations behind closed doors and retaliate against
those who believe sunlight should trump darkness. One place is
Montclair State's student government.
From NYT: "The biggest threat to increasingly complex systems may
be the systems themselves." Not exactly new news, but definitely
thought provoking. Combined with government's general lack of
attention to the gradual degradation and failure of our physical
infrastructure, and I'm just waiting for SkyNet to announce itself.
The NFL and the Adult Entertainment Industry (yep, that would be
porn) have a lot more in common than you think. Both are like
religious experiences for men, both have legends (NFL: Joe Montana;
Porn: Jenna Jameson), and both have a Paris Hilton connection (NFL:
she dated Brian Urlacher; Porn: She made a sex tape).
Today was my first day with the NFL Sunday Ticket in HD. At 1
o'clock I started flipping through channels 718 and up in eager
anticipation of glorious high definition football. Just like on
Wednesday, I got the dreaded error message, "channel not
purchased." When I tried to call DirecTV, all I got was a busy
signal.
