Day: December 26, 2000

  • It appears that Xanga --and Bianca, perhaps, by extension-- might, indeed, have a face: Genius, I say, Genius! To access the weblog of the purported Creative Director (unless he's lying) of Xanga, access xanga.com/Genius . Better yet, go to his (her? maybe Genius is an alias and Bianca the reality) website at http://www.bizstone.com where she/he cites Xanga credentially.

    She, I mean, he seems like a nice guy. A little too didactic in his proselyting prose, perhaps, but not bad for a shameless self-promoter. Let's all kowtow in unison: Genius is King, long live Biz (hehe).

  • "Retail frenzy may be too late..." is the Money headlines at USAToday online, "It seems clear that cash registers weren't ringing up great holiday cheer for merchants," the story continues. Too late for what? To coopt the real Christmas spirit? To drive seasonal participants economically beyond some shadow border of micro-discernible bancruptcy? Where, anymore, is the joy in moderation and sense of well-being in current contentments? In my book, a "frenzy" is always too late: it is the dust that some revolt of the masses (a la Ortega y Gasset) licks after the limousine of life has already peeled-out of the roadside rest stop and headed down the highway to fortune's next appointment.
