Dylan's "Hurricane" plays on the radio here while

I start my second cup of coffee, I see the following:

There's a guy typing at a fold-up keyboard on a PDA.
|
|
Freaky, it's practically a laptop.
|

Freakier still:

In the very next booth two grrls play chess with the

largest pieces I've ever seen in Milwaukee. 8" tall

each piece. Or the Queens are maybe 10" even. Wood

blocks.
|

Quite a contrast to the guy with the "laptop," eh?

YIKES! dARPA Seems To Have Just Released A Sinister Plan
|
|
Which I Don't See How Anyone Could Be Proud Of As A "Life's
|
|
Work.
|
|
|
|
Jasmine Strong writes the following about it at Global IMC.
|
|
|
|
The US defence research agency, DARPA, today announced its
|
|
strategic long-range plan. It made worrying reading. The DARPA
|
|
was required to release a long term plan under Senate Report
|
|
107-151's accountability program.
|
|
In clarifying DARPA's mission there was palpable doubt from
|
|
the management of DARPA over the future of the agency. It points
|
|
out: "None of the most important weapons transforming warfare
|
|
in the 20th century -- the airplane, tank, radar, jet engine,
|
|
helicopter, electronic computer, not even the atomic bomb --
|
|
owed its initial development to a doctrinal requirement or
|
|
request of the military."
|
|
That's all well and good- excepting that they got the
|
|
history of the computer wrong- but the disturbing part comes
|
|
next. DARPA states that it plans to automate the battlefield,
|
|
developing autonomous 'swarms' of hunter-killer robots, robot
|
|
tanks and killer drone aircraft.
|
|
Perhaps this isn't too surprising; many militaries have
|
|
wanted for quite some time to get their people out of the
|
|
line of fire and telepresence would seem to be a good way
|
|
of doing that. This, however, makes it effectively possible
|
|
to fight a riskless land war, to march robots through the
|
|
chemical and nuclear wastelands of a first strike. Worse,
|
|
an autonomous robot army could present similar problems to
|
|
landmines; how does one track down and deactivate them if
|
|
they lose communication?
|
|
More fundamentally, does the US really need to be any
|
|
better at beating up smaller countries? It seems they're
|
|
quite good enough at that already. If they can eliminate
|
|
the last elements of risk on the battlefield then the only
|
|
thing left to do is to fortify the country against terrorist
|
|
attack and go on the rampage. What's more, it represents an
|
|
escalation in telerobotic warfare. In a war between two robot
|
|
armies, the only people who stand to die are the civilians.
|
|
The "assured use of space" is the next worrying topic. The
|
|
five-pronged approach to the problem of other people having
|
|
satellites includes a new "rapid small-payload launch vehicle",
|
|
which sounds awfully like a missile capable of reaching
|
|
synchronous orbit to me. "Space Mission Protection and
|
|
Denial" is about stopping others from launching things
|
|
towards orbit and "Space-based Engagement" is vaguely
|
|
defined as extending the orbital capabilities already
|
|
available to the military. The militarization of space
|
|
represents another escalation in military capabilities.
|
|
The scary stuff doesn't stop there. The second half of
|
|
the report concerns longer-range research projects intended
|
|
to prevent the human from becoming the "weakest link" in
|
|
warfare, the disturbingly-titled "bio-revolution". They
|
|
define this as "[exploiting] life sciences to make the
|
|
individual warfighter stronger, more alert, more endurant,
|
|
and better able to heal". This does not sound at all good.
|
|
They cite direct neural interfaces to computers and military
|
|
hardware as an example of this, but that doesn't add up; it
|
|
seems more likely that their goals would be achieved through
|
|
genetic modification or advanced pharmaceutical intervention.
|
|
The military of the future doesn't sound like it would be
|
|
much fun to be around.

NYammys Not Nearly As Boring As They Mighta -
|
|
Film At 11.
|
|
|
|
Hello Simon my old friend,
|
|
I fin'ly sing with you again.
|
|
|
|
OK, I've got a pot of coffee brewing -- it's time to
|
|
watch the annual NYammys on TV.
|
|
It's nice to see Garfunkel and Simon not lip synching.
|
|
They're singing live AND altering some of the harmonies
|
|
and even a couple words to their "Sound of Silence."
|
|
I wonder who you have to pay (and what) to get permit
|
|
to do THAT.
|
|
|
|
Oh. Yeah. I called this year's caligulaic, bombastic,
|
|
plastic, orgyastic, annual-post-superbowl-pre-war event
|
|
NYammys. First I thought of calling it the Dammmys since
|
|
it's so damned. But it's also so overly NYC this year.
|
|
So NYammys it is.
|
|
My friend Jasmine, a recording artist in England says
|
|
maybe they should call it the Sonys.
|
|
Common side effects are headache, nausea and abdominal
|
|
pain.
|
|
Sheryl Crow's guitar strap read "No war" during her duet
|
|
with Kid Rock, but her hair diplomatically obscured the
|
|
"No" portion of her political statement. Really? I never
|
|
saw it. Maybe they airbrushed it out for my viewing. Or
|
|
used Claritin. Gone like Ashley Judd's nose-ring. They say
|
|
she had a peace-sign necklace on too. Maybe her neck-hair
|
|
obscured that too, or something.
|
|
|
|
So let me ask you. Madison Square Garden. What, was Radio
|
|
City Music Hall booked??
|
|
Dustin Hoffman says for the first time in the NYammys'
|
|
history it's hosted by no one except the people of New York.
|
|
Hmmm. You mean they've tried to remove the commercial
|
|
from the rock? The biz from the muzic? Oh, you mean host
|
|
host, not sponsor host. I get it. Along with his announcement
|
|
there was a long period of time without ads OR sponsorship
|
|
announcements. I really started to think maybe the city
|
|
itself'd underwritten the event.
|
|
|
|
So Gwen Stefani comes out in a tight sportsbra with the
|
|
word "LOVE" stamped across it. And the drummer, well, he's
|
|
got a bra on too.
|
|
She's got camo shorts. hmmm. And her gogo dancers seem
|
|
draped in some camo covering on over their shirts too. So
|
|
THAT's where the expression camisole comes from, it's camo
|
|
sole. I vote her most likely to do USO tour after USO tour
|
|
after USO tour.
|
|
Are they yelling "Lou," or are they booing Lou Reed? Hard
|
|
to tell.
|
|
So Dustin's hosting? Or did he just come on early? Either
|
|
way, how cool is that?
|
|
Faith Hill, umm. Now, tell me how your band tonite can get
|
|
construed as "country?" You're like Pat Benatar meets Ozzie
|
|
Osbourne. Or Kiss maybe, with all the make-up you got on.
|
|
You're starting to get that Tammy Faye Baker look. Maybe
|
|
you've been hanging around with the McGraw-Hill Hills too
|
|
much, or something.
|
|
Yeah, you can always count on James Taylor not putting on
|
|
too much makeup. Just the modest amount. Yeah.
|
|
No offense to YoYoMa, but get bach to the Johann Sebastian
|
|
Back playing, dude. [sic.] I really enjoy and appreciate your
|
|
sonatas and allemandes, valses and courantes but that background
|
|
CallAndResponse stuff's gotta go. First of all, I only heard you
|
|
about 3 times and that was only for a vibrato'd note or three
|
|
each time. BB King you're not.
|
|
And was I asleep, or what? Congrats to Johnny Cash for his
|
|
11th career NYammy. I'm not sure what song it's for though,
|
|
I haven't heard a peep from him all year really.
|
|
|
|
So Jesse Harris wrote Nora Jones' hit eh? I think she's my
|
|
favorite recipient this year -- the talented AND beautiful
|
|
Norah Jones. She's proof that good things CAN come from
|
|
nepotism every once in a blue moon, eh?
|
|
And one other redeeming thing I must say about her. She
|
|
chooses to allow the writers of her songs be known. Too many
|
|
insist that their "supply closet" remain little more than
|
|
ghost writers hell.
|
|
Hmmm. I feel a parody coming on. To McCartney and Lennon's
|
|
"PaperBack Writer."
|
|
I wanna be, a Beatles ghostwriter. Beatles ghostwriter.
|
|
Beatles gho... hey baby, hey baby hey. A Beatles ghostwriter.
|
|
Wait, this just in. Norah Jones won rekkid of the year
|
|
AND album of the year. I know, lets top this for next
|
|
year, by adding CD of the year, Compact Disc of the
|
|
year, recording of the year, AND TimeInTheStudio of
|
|
the year.
|
|
|
|
"small signs against the impending war," wrote Newsday,
|
|
"against Iraq throughout the ceremony. Flaming Lips singer
|
|
Wayne Coyne wore a bandage on his face as a silent protest
|
|
to the war. 'We're not supposed to talk about it, so I thought
|
|
I would wear it to get people to think about peace -- no black
|
|
eyes,' said Coyne, whose band won best rock instrumental
|
|
performance for a track from its 'Yoshimi Battles the Pink
|
|
Robots' album."
|
|
"Forget about building a mystery," said Bonnie Raitt,
|
|
"let's start building some peace." Overall there wasn't
|
|
very much talk about the war. In fact it all seemed overly
|
|
subdued and compressed. Limited, enveloped or wahwah peddled
|
|
maybe. Something tells me if you planned on saying something
|
|
political you were required to run it through a team of special
|
|
truth analysts or something.
|
|
Everyone in the "hip and withit" albeit corporate media is
|
|
mentioning a thing or two about the Neptunes getting slighted
|
|
by NARAS this year so I'll leave it at that. Nothing else from
|
|
me here.
|
|
|
|
So is everyone going to thank Donnie Iner at Columbia or what?
|
|
First time around I thought it was Don Imus they were thanking.
|
|
Then it became more clear. But how DO you spell his name?
|
|
Dixie Chicks got to thank Sony AND Columbia. Kewl. And their
|
|
dad. So is he Sony or Columbia? Maybe the Oscars and the NYammys
|
|
can have a corporate merger soon. We could call them the annual
|
|
GrouchPotatoAwardCeremony.
|
|
|
|
Lemme see if I've got this straight. Survivor is "frikkin
|
|
genius," and Justin Timberlake would like to grab Kylie's ass.
|
|
"Cop a feel," and "Girls Gone Wild," goes wrestling. Where are
|
|
we going with all this besides war, decadence and mass oblivion?
|
|
|
|
NYammys sponsored by dnL. Hahaha. Turn it around and that's 7up.
|
|
How clever. Now you're thinking. They've turned the cola world
|
|
on its ear.
|
|
|
|
So did the inside of Avril's sportcoat say "No War?" or what?
|
|
They refused to let us see it when she opened it up. That was
|
|
made demonstratively clear by the camera who stopped moving.
|
|
Not an inch. Filming behind her he was, the whole time. We're
|
|
censoring truth, can we be more obvious?
|
|
|
|
Mary Youngblood won the Native American category for "Beneath
|
|
the Raven Moon." The one single solitary NDN music award. So
|
|
who did she have to compete with, one artist from each different
|
|
style of music? Or perhaps. Carlos Nakai, Carlos Nakai, Carlos
|
|
Nakai, Carlos Nakai, and Carlos Nakai...
|
|
|
|
"I hope we're all in agreeance," said Fred Durst, "this war
|
|
should go away."
|
|
P Diddy. What was your name again? I think I'll change my
|
|
name each year, to Marc Diddy, then Muff Eddy, then M. Fuddy.
|
|
|
|
Looks like Target's gonna try and trademark (tm) red (tm).
|
|
What the hey. Pepsi's already got blue (tm) who wants white?
|
|
Oh yeah, that's Cheney and Ashcroft already.
|
|
I think I'll write an ad with a fireman in it. That'll get
|
|
me an Emmy for sure! Like a knife in warm butter. Can you say
|
|
pander? Can you say jingoistic?
|
|
|
|
Star Search is back. Run To The Hills!!! Number of the beast!
|
|
So which mafia don will host these ones?
|
|
|
|
Robin Williams intros Bruce Stringbean and the D Fleet Canned.
|
|
Hmm, do you think Robin stopped snorting coke about the same
|
|
time George W Bush did? Though it's nice to see Little Steven
|
|
in EStreet again. He's been sorely missed out there thinking
|
|
he's TVLandia all that.
|
|
Am I imagining it or the older Bruce gets the more he looks
|
|
like Mojo Nixon? Well, I should tell ya, someone needs to get
|
|
ol' "Stevie V" a mic of his own. He keeps trying to borrow
|
|
everyone elses'.
|
|
Ah cool. Erika Badu came out in a Dead Prez t-shirt and
|
|
whoa girl. your fro makes me think of Link in the Mod Squad.
|
|
|
|
Who the heck is Alan Cumming? He looks like Pee Wee Herman.
|
|
OK, from a songwriter's point of view I must complain with no
|
|
disrespect intended. Ashanti's tune about dreaming is very empty.
|
|
Devoid of... well, devoid of everything. She got the operatic
|
|
pronunciation of "dweems" almost as good as a Stevie Nicks or
|
|
a Bob Dylan, but come on. Everything else about the song really
|
|
sucks. It was just so bland. Inspirational my ass. That inspires
|
|
me to go watch paint dry. Drink some geritol or cod liver oil.
|
|
Or watch the NYammys.
|

"Their sold out one night only TOUR." --Ed Bradley about the Bee
