some random thots on l!fe
This is "Wondermark" by David Malki - http://www.wondermark.com/d/267.html
A intriguing mix of Victorian graphics with skewed humor. As is often the case though, hidden within humor is a trenchant observation on the current culture. I've often wondered at how our brains work. By that I mean why do we internally decide something was "recent" when in fact it was almost 40 years ago? In my mind the early 1970's was relatively recent and the late 70's were almost yesterday. Perhaps it is the fact that 1979 was a watershed year, graduating from High School and starting Architecture School?
It does seem weird that there are two generations that have come along since then, both of whom have grown up with the Internet and the last of whom will never remember a world without the instant communication of cell phones and Instant Messaging. I wonder how our interpersonal interactions have and will change? I read somewhere recently that we have become a post literate society where people only read "snippets" of information never stopping to think where the facts or values behind those "facts" have come from or where they are headed. It is an often repeated joke that "It must be true I read it on "so & so's" blog".
When Warhol decided that we were all allotted 15 minutes of fame could he have guessed that those 15 minutes might have really come true but would be wasted on MySpace?

The clock is tick-k-k-k-king....
BTW - After much thought between here and work last night. I decided to leave Ho'Dean out of this year's predictions (sorry Rob but he really bores me) however in deference to Rob I will say that under "lighter stuff":
11. Paris Hilton will become a born-again Christian and devote her millions of inherited cash to helping the poor in Haiti...Nah, she will continue to do stupid trashy stuff in public to get attention from the paparazzi.
12. Tom Cruise; seeing the error of his ways and due to the prayers of wife Katie's parents (whom People magazine tells us are "devout Catholics") will revert back to the faith of his upbringing. Actually this one isn't as far fetched as it may seem although I have no idea how devout her parents really are. In this day and age, attending church more than once or twice per year constitutes extreme piety in the eyes of the "cultural press".
