In reply to this comment by coupland:
I'm not a huge Zeppelin fan, but this song is one of the rockingest ever. Too bad devil horns hadn't been invented yet, they were made for this song.

Hi! I know you posted this comment long ago, and possibly learned otherwise since (or more probably don't really care), but first use of 'devil horns', or cornu, was a year or two prior to this audio - the Satanic-themed heavy rock band, Coven, are seen displaying the cornu on the inside gatefold sleeve of their debut album: Witchcraft Destroys Minds And Reaps Souls.

Possibly interesting trivia: a member of this band is named Oz Osbourne, and the same debut album I referred to above contains a track titled, 'Black Sabbath'. Further, there exists a photograph of one Charles Manson exiting a record store with the very same album tucked beneath his arm, and it is believed that it was played during many LSD fueled orgies at Spahn Ranch.

Your pal,
Solomon G

I finally got around to reading Catcher in the Rye. Curiously, it wasn't in my high school curriculum. But I don't get it. It's an angsty kid walking around NY. What's the point?

^ It was kind of the coming-of-age novel for that generation. JD Saliinger = Douglas Coupland.


If it has to be explained why you should like it, you know it's good!

I doubt it, if for no other reason than he's still alive.

The vid didn't bother me any but I don't have to take every point as proved, it's more the possibilities and questions that I love. Years ago when I first discussed nanotech with people most thought it some combination between sci-fi and a scam, these days most take it for granted that it's not only real but coming up on us fast. I still have my doubts about some of the particulars such as them ever letting us have anything like a desktop manufacturer, but in a broad brush sense it was worth the time even for the parts that were wrong. It made us think about the possibilities and get used to the idea.

I'd agree that the vid seemed disjointed and skipped from topic to topic without much explanation, didn't cover any in the depth needed to understand much, but if for no other reason it deserves a home in the science channel for the debate it sparked. Anyone interested now has the Copenhagen interpretation, many-worlds interpretation, quantum entanglement, wave-particle duality suggested by sineral and other suggestions for research from others. We aren't going to solve the worlds problems from here anyway. But if it makes us think and even ask some questions we're doing more than most are with their spare time.
