Heimo's Artic Refuge

"Brrrr!" This from Vice.tv. They've produced raw, intense, videos on that site. Definitely worth checking out, but be forewarned about their Vice Guide to Liberia. You will experience multiple terrible images for your eyeballs to regrettable see. It is only to be watched when idealizing the idea that man is inherently good natured... you realize how man's life can be solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. Compelling footage to say the least... Vice has also teamed up with CNN; not too shabby for an alternative, journalistic Gen-X start-up.

IAN MACKAYE ON... COMPUTERS

“It’s fascinating to think that people are spending enormous blocks of time, even without working, in front of these light boxes, tapping on plastic things. They get up after eight hours of intensive work and nothing has moved and nothing has changed but I could just spill some tea on this table and the stain would still be here. I don’t think there’s ever been a point in history where you could spend eight hours doing something and not a speck of dust gets moved. When you cook for eight hours you’ve got a lot of food, if you’ve been sweeping the floor is clean, if you are building something it gets built. Even if you are writing on paper you have paper that’s now been written on. There’s something fascinating about this idea that everything you do it doesn’t exist, it just exists in this temporal form. The information doesn’t exist. I mean, obviously I know that you are here because you wrote to me on the computer and I wrote back so there was a net effect and now we’re here. I’m not saying it’s a bad technology, I just think it’s an interesting idea. What will it do to people mentally? What will happen to our society if they feel like they can’t get anything done? I don’t know."
