~ the number of visits that can be made to westside supermarket before the angry red planet rips off some heads and defecates down some necks has reached the threshold of 10.

~ rasterweb [w] tangentially shares our dilemma about the new ‘digital hub’ being offered by apple. we don’t see any breakthroughs being made for those of use without and ipod or a digital video camera. regardless of all the digital satellites that you need to buy before the imac begins its function as your digital hub, when you do get them all, being able to rip and burn cds and dvds does not seem like the most productive thing for a computer to be doing. the new imac is a step down from the old one; now it is just an entertainment center; consumer electronics packaged sleekly seems like nothing progressive to us. if this imac – or any ‘computer’ – was hidden inside the wall with the fusebox and simultaneously delivered to our kitchen a cake recipe from vegweb [w], duplicate our friend’s franco nero dvd while it was being watched in the rumpus room, and printed and collated 1000 copies of our latest publication in the office…that would be a digital hub for us.

~ by the way, ‘american history x’ and ‘bad lieutenant’ turned out to be rife with beatings and murders.
