I linked to something similar recently, but
here are two panoramic photos of the Seattle waterfront, taken 95 years apart. I love that kind of thing, especially with the emphasis on compatibility. And yet another reprint from 'The Atlantic': Dana Gioia's essential '
Can Poetry Matter?' '
The Jet Set Society'? Here's an
interview with Al Gore, his first extended one since 2000. Ooh, and
ex-classics from the world of literature. And Stars Wars producer
Rick McCallum compared p2p movie swapping to terrorism. A brief glimpse into the world of Star Wars makers: "McCallum said the only downside to filming in Sydney had been some of the press coverage. After a journalist staked out writer-director George Lucas's Sydney home during the production of Clones, crew members staged a demonstration outside the journalist's home, "chanting 'this is what your daddy does, do you like it?' to his children", McCallum said." What an asshole. I wonder if those crew members were paid for their time.
