spark

OK, so I'm hoping to get this thing going real soon, (and do realize the irony ad absurdum of making a self-conscious comment about the slim chance of that happening)....

I'm going to hit the ground running with some links I came across today. That is going to the be the basic format of this plank...links with associated thoughts, or just unassociated thoughts, and then a talkback where people can shoot the shit and so forth. Let's party like it's 1999.

First up, an interesting article on the collective good and Lojack. It's cute. From Crooked Timber. (Another interesting old Crooked Timber link: High School Love Networks from a sociological perspective.) Both cute. Very cute.

From the tears-of-laughter-indicitive-of-sorrow-for-humanity department, Koffler does a rundown of self-parodying reality TV. why??

peace kids.
