I always deeply hated the Cabbage Patch Kids as a child so this seems somewhat comforting :)

Great article by Wired editor-in-chief Chris Anderson on the state of the music industry post-peak (before file-sharing). The last “hit” was No strings Attached byN’SYNC surprisingly enough.
Hmm, interesting exhibition at the Brigham Young University Museum of Art in Salt Lake City called:
Nostalgia and Technology : Embracing the New through Art and Design
From the scientific instruments that shared shelf space with art objects and taxidermy in the collections of 17th-century nobility to the cabinet radio disguised as period furniture, technology often enters the home with familiar company.
I am facinated by the interest that people (gouvernments, designers, artists, Oprah) have all of a sudden about the environment, waste, global warming. Like this is something that just hit them… sigh… Buckminster Fuller must be stirring in his grave.
So on the critical side of things we find Computers for art where a non-profit organisation that aims to reduce and to promote the re-use of redundant technology, such as computer/office equipment, through collecting and storing such equipment for use by artists in public exhibitions.
So another loop in the user-use-disposal system which i will map out very shortly.
