  • internet

    Something else I thought is interesting. The end of the internet? Main internet providers like AT&T, Comcast or AOL realized that they can increase their profit with regulations on the internet. Right now they provide only access, open for everybody to an unregulated extend. It is in the users full control. So they are looking…

  • Phoneless

    He has no phone, no cellphone, no homephone. If you need to call him, you have to make sure you can reach him at the office before he’s leaving. Or you can try calling someone you think might be with him, most likely his girlfriend. Mystery man in the time of ultimate communication. Max.

  • on the way home

    I passed a shop on Robertson in West Hollywood. Four or five police cars in front of it on the streets, flashing lights. The store front window shattered. A group of Policemen about to enter it with there guns pointed to the dark interior of the store. I passed the scene cycling on the street…

  • Sketches of Frank Gehry.

  • Which is the real Iraq?

    „A frustrating aspect of writing about Iraq since the invasion is that the worse the situation becomes, the easier it is for Tony Blair or George Bush to pretend it is improving. That is because as Baghdad and Iraq, aside from the three Kurdish provinces, become the stalking ground for death squads and assassins, it…

    …which has apparently nothing to do with the text?

  • lazy sunday

    I haven’t left the house all say, except twice for shopping around the corner. Too lazy to take the way up to Hollywood for another apartment scouting trip. And it seemed rain starts pouring down every minute. Yesterday was nice, on apartment search. I ended up in the building at 706 S. Normandie Ave, the…
