I think the value of twitter
for me, would be in the cynicism of my everyday interactions in the real world—That’s probably not healthy. Plus, I just started a blog, and I’m not even all that compelled to write in it. I think I would be the worst tweeter ever….

Do you ever worry about building a false digital ego with all this stuff
I mean, it’s quite absurd—all of our handles, fake names, fake identities. I worry at some point I’ll forget how to interact with real people—that I’ll strike up a conversation with LOL…
Even with my phone, I’ve stopped having conversations. Everything has reduced to texts. I don’t even know what some people’s voices sound like. I suspect this is all bad, but I’m not sure, and I’ keep chugging along with it. To paraphrase Nietzsche: we have all these new comforts of modern life, But all is NOT well!
by EvilKaramazov on Jul 22, 2009 10:05 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I am fine, I interact with humans all day everyday . from my son
to my dad to my coworkers to my clients phone calls extc. It is important to maintain balance.
I never say “oh, em, gee” or “el oh el” in real life, that is weird and very “teeny bopper”
I also , as a student, am used to reading formal literature and also enjoy reading actual books quite a bit. Then of course there is a requirement of supreme professionalism at school and at work that I must display else I lose points and/or my job; so in this instance I have to remain formal and professional.
Perhaps that is why I love social networking. Just communication in different ways. A break from what Im used to.
I have a massive ego. I dont think my on line persona is all that different from my real life persona :)

I suspect I'm just hyperbolic and crazy
In light of all this social networking and revealing one’s life, I’m find more and more value in the secret moments I have with a few people. An example: take the second have of a day off, go do something, like go to a baseball game. Tell know one. After the game throw away the tickets and all evidence of being there. I guarantee that game will be more memorable than a lot of the other ones you might go to.
I had wrote a letter over the weekend and sent it to a friend without them knowing. That letter will mean infinitely more to both me and that person, than any email.

I just have to add
Because you referenced Nietzsche earlier another quote of his popped into my head when I saw you mention a letter you wrote to a friend. “A letter is an unannounced visit, the postman the agent of rude surprises. One ought to reserve an hour a week for receiving letters and afterwards take a bath.” I don’t mean anything by bringing it up, I just always liked that quote and rarely get a chance to use it.
I actually see letters and emails in much the same light, they’re pretty much the same thing to me just in slightly different forms. Some make you want to laugh. Some make you want to cry. There’s even a few letters that makes you want to do both at the same time. Letters or emails by themselves are neither “good” or “evil”, it’s what’s inside that defines them.

There is something about the secrecy of it for me. Plus, the letter is tangible—you can see my handwriting. I think it’s much closer to an experience one might have with me opposed to size 12 font, with immediate gratification.

my first real job ever
was in South San Francisco, within sight of Candlestick Park. One afternoon the bosses were all at a retreat and a big group of us played hooky and went to the Giants game. This was in 1995, just after the strike, and the fans were still staying away in droves. So we even go to move up to pretty nice seats. It was memorable, as you noted. But I just posted it here, so I guess I didn’t follow the “tell no one” rule.

Basketball in the morning
is a good way to start your day as long as you don’t sprain an ankle. It would suck if you had to hobble around on that all day. And only if your definition of “serious softballer” includes “hopes the ball doesn’t get hit to him in the outfield because then he’ll have to put the beer in his throwing hand down”.

(1) I’m ok
(2) I spent tuesday recovering from my 33rd b-day, it gets harder every year.
(3) I don’t like Andre Miller for the Blazers, he’s not comfortable enough on the perimeter or playing without the ball to be a quality starter for Portland I fear.
(4) At this point I think i’d rather just stay the course as is and add another veteran PG purely for depth purposes
(5) See above.
(6) I’m always happy for cloud cover, though i’m on the east coast so my cloud cover isn’t yours, but since it’s mine it’s probably better.
(7) I don’t know what dheepan is
(8) I’m a twitter n00b, I just got used to the idea of Myspace a few years back and have since let it die and haven’t laid eyes on my myspace in over a year.
(9) Social networking will never be on the way out as long as there is still society, which is to say as long as there’s more than 1 human, there will be social networking.
(10) The only thing that can replace social networking is human extinction. We’re social creatures, we require a “social network” to survive.
(11) I don’t know how to respond to that… yes?
(12) I don’t know what the booty do is, so probably not unless i’ve done it by accident.

The words starting with the pound sign # are hash tags that allow searching for topics or connected issues on Twitter. It’s helpful to find discussions or statements from people you are not connected to. E.g. if everyone is talking about a specific game or event or person.
But of course not everyone is using the same tag. And using multiples is limited by Twitter’s extremely short messages. And often it’s just a joke, like Ben’s tags about KP, or when Skeets & Co. used #SVGishiphop during the playoffs when Van Gundy made some weird remarks about it.
Meme is usually used more in the context of a cultural phenomenon in the broadest (and lowest) sense, so I didn’t really use that term correctly. E.g. “Rickrolling” people or Lolcats or some catch phrases are Internet memes.

Richard Dawkins, in The God Delusion, claims he invented the word meme, which means “intellectual virus”. Basically an idea is started without good reason (flat earth, for example) and it is passed on without much scrutiny. Currently meme is used for all sorts of meanings, usually referring to an idea or saying.

Here's the Wiki on "meme", at least the beginning of it.
A meme (pronounced /ˈmiːm/, rhyming with “cream”1), is a postulated unit or element of cultural ideas, symbols or practices, and is transmitted from one mind to another through speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena. (The etymology of the term relates to the Greek word mimema for “something imitated”.)2 Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes, in that they self-replicate and respond to selective pressures.3 Memeticists have not empirically proven the existence of discrete memes or their proposed mechanism, and memes do not form part of the consensus of mainstream social sciences.
Richard Dawkins first introduced the word in The Selfish Gene (1976) to discuss evolutionary principles in explaining the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. He gave as examples melodies, catch-phrases, and beliefs (notably religious belief), clothing/fashion, and the technology of building arches.4
Meme-theorists contend that memes evolve by natural selection (in a manner similar to that of biological evolution) through the processes of variation, mutation, competition, and inheritance influencing an individual entity’s reproductive success. Memes spread through the behaviors that they generate in their hosts. Memes that propagate less prolifically may become extinct, while others may survive, spread, and (for better or for worse) mutate. Theorists point out that memes which replicate the most effectively spread best, and some memes may replicate effectively even when they prove detrimental to the welfare of their hosts.5
A field of study called memetics6 arose in the 1990s to explore the concepts and transmission of memes in terms of an evolutionary model. Criticism from a variety of fronts has challenged the notion that scholarship can examine memes empirically. Some commentators question the idea that one can meaningfully categorize culture in terms of discrete units.

This cousin and his well-off family lived down here in LA, and I’ve never attempted to contact them.

We also looked up a pretty unique family name from one side of my family when we were in LA, and came up with 5 hits in the phone book. One of them was really a relative. He was an interior designer, making gruesome coffee tables that had something reminiscent of gravestones with skeleton paintings on them. I have never seen him again.

That's a good idea
When I hit a dry spell, I’ll try to contact them. For funsies.
My dad did a bunch of genealogy research a few years ago, and contacted a lot of distant and not-so-distant relatives. I should ask him if he contacted this part of the family, since they’re not that far removed from us, blood wise.
My dad’s dad had 14 siblings, so it was quite an undertaking to find them all, and what kids they ended up having.

Me: Catholic family, easily over 100 first cousins, tons that I haven’t met. When I find out one lives in an interesting city I try to make contact in order to have a free place to stay. I am shameless, yes.
But seriously: cards right = free lunch.

I would prefer Sessions as he is at least a young Miller, if not much more. But I'm down with the idea of changing something.
At least Miller posts up smaller players, which is an interesting wrinkle in a half-court offense. And he can execute fast breaks. And drive and dish plays.

Hey Sophia, I have a question for you and any other women on BE, scorned or otherwise.
I have a wedding to attend in August on Sauvie’s Island. It’s outdoor and from what I’ve seen on Weather.com, it’s going to be hotter than the bejesus in Portland. What in god’s name am I supposed to wear? Any ideas for an outfit that will be formal enough to be involved in a friend’s wedding without sweating to death?

I nice pair of light colored slacks with a lightweight polo is usually fine for attending a wedding. If you’re in the wedding… you could be in trouble. (I own about half a dozen “golf polos” despite the fact that I don’t golf. They still look semi professional and are crazy comfy.)

If I weren’t in the wedding, I would do this: slacks and button-up shirt, probably try to roll the slcks up halfway through so no one notices. But I’m involved in the wedding. Ugh. There is no dress code for bridesmaids, thank god, but the dress is extremely formal and I know the guys are wearing tuxes.

This is what I am thinking: a little expurgated version:
“What finished me was the birth. It woke me up! … I crept out over the back of the sofa, put on my coat, greatcoat and hat, I can think of nothing else, laced up my boots and opened the door to the corridor … I used the word marriage, it was a kind of union in spite of all. Precautions would have been superfluous, there was no competing with those cries. It must have been her first. They pursued me down the stairs and out into the street. I stopped before the door and listened. I could still hear them. If I had not known there was crying in the house I might not have heard them. But knowing I did. … As long as I kept walking I didn’t hear them, because of the footsteps. But as soon as I halted I heard them again, a little fainter each time, admittedly, but what does it matter, faint or loud, cry is cry, all that matters is it should cease. For years I thought they would cease. Now I don’t think so any more. I could have done with other loves perhaps. But there it is, either you love or you don’t.”
Pretty romantic, I think.

I’m with you one the Aston Martin and the Jetpack. A private helicopter would be fun.
Also Maglev trains are cool. Politicians in Munich wanted one, the locals didn’t. They defiantly set up a monumental sculpture to stupidity at the airport: Just the front car and the first “wagon”. No rails. It was great.

There was an accident with it on a test track in Germany and people died (human error, no problem with the technology). Then the project in Munich was buried for good, and I think they removed the “installation” again after some years. The only one in operation connects the airport in Shanghai to the city as far as I know. It’s useless for such short distances <1 hour where you could use any high speed train except as a prestige project. In Germany they wanted to connect Hamburg and Berlin with it, which would be just the right distance where a 300 mph train makes sense.
by Norsktroll on Jul 22, 2009 12:24 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
There was talk years ago about connecting Eugene and Seattle with such a train, but I have no idea what happened to that project. My guess is that they quickly realized that would be a one-way train and gave up.
Any death in the name of progress troubles me. In regards to technology, it reminds me of how disappointed I was and am at the continued waste thrown into public transportation in Portland.

I've never been in a wedding,
but, I think that phenomenon is coming to an end soon. I suspect I’ll be asked to read something. I think the only romantic thing I know is Neruda’s Sonnet 17:
[excerpt]
I love you without knowing how, when, or where from;
I love you straightforwardly, with neither problems nor pride:
I love you thus, not knowing how to love you otherwise
I’d hope to brush up my spanish first…. I’m sort of dreading when my number will be called, but I know it will happen soon…

This is my backup passage:
And then the remorse, the poignant sweetness of sobbing atonement, groveling love, the hopelessness of sensual reconciliation. In the velvet night, at Mirana Motel (Mirana!) I kissed the yellowish soles of her long-toed feet. I immolated myself…But it was all of no avail. Both doomed were we. And soon I was to enter a new cycle of persecution
Bonus points to anyone who knows what that is.

But seriously, it’s just about the inevitable problem of desire, and it’s really good at pursuing the hopelessness therein, a metaphor of eros qua metaphor, blah blah blah, I am boring myself.

But you never lose yourself, which is the point. The figuration of “One” is the expression of subjective violence.
Love is inherently unethical, but to a certain extent all one-to-one contact is the compromise of ethics.
Hope is always the hope of an auditor, of comprehension. Hence the necessity of the one and one, as opposed to the “One,” which is always narcissism.

Love is always violent
but unethical? I don’t know if I would subscribe to that.
Hope is the foundation for Belief and Faith. Together those parts might make up something like Love. The “One”, I wouldn’t argue is available through comprehension, but something closer to beholding.
by EvilKaramazov on Jul 22, 2009 12:08 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
But the “One” is always just a larger expression of the one that beholds it. It’s inevitable from the position of existential ontology. And if you’re going to scoff at existential figuration, I really have nothing left to say.
True ethics would be everyone in his/her own room, never talking to anyone. Anything else is a compromise, which is why every interaction is an ethical compromise, including Love. Especially where the concept of the “One” is involved.
The “One” does exist, just not in the way people think. And it has to do with ethics and the compromise inherent to it.

Technically I’m an English student but my project involves tracing a dialogue between the works of Beckett and O’Brien and the history of philosophy—with an emphasis on an ontology of violence and humour. Hence, I frequently feel more comfortable in the presence of comp. lit or philosophy students.
Have you read Zizek’s book on Schiller? I know you have stated your distaste for contemporary philosophy, but at the very least it would give you something to vehemently disagree with!

I did study under the leading Schiller expert though. It was lots of fun. I just read an aesthetics book connecting darwin to the artistic process. The author was an Aristotelian, which kind of irritated me, so I’m brushing up on my Republic
That’s a pretty serious focus. I’m not really a philosophy kind of person. I’d be happy if I could just talk about Dostoevsky, Baudelaire, and 20th century american poets… not shiny enough for academia.

He's probably my fav
and also the most difficult. Are you kidding me? “Behold the nothing that is there and the nothing that isn’t.” I like Frost’s lesser celebrated works, some cummings and the other Lost Generation cats. The one poet I can spew the most of is Gerard Manley Hopkins, but I don’t philosophically agree with his works. Pretty much the only thing I say anymore, however is:
Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That’s all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth, I look at you, and sigh.’ — Yeats
And that’s only when I’m drunk. I’m a firm believer that everyone I meet at a bar is Zombie; I limit my vocab to monosyllabic words for fear of my brain being eaten….

Yeah, I am smart enough to admit that I do not understand the nothing that is and the nothing that is not, although I have read all of Being and Time and I suppose I should understand it.
I will try now to do a poem from memory:
I grow old, I grow old
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding outward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
Something something something red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

But it was in the Miller’s Tale that the ass-chapping happened.

So they talked metaphysics while the afternoon waned. Neither felt he was defending or trying to prove anything important. It was like playing one-up at a party, or Botticelli. They quoted to each other from Liguorian tracts, Galen, Aristotle, David Riesman, T.S. Eliot.

Slightly unrelated: How long would it take a rat infestation to rise four floors? I need to know so that I can tell the EMT’s ahead of time when my will to live will completely evaporate.

Slow day
My balcony restoration project is coming along, but slowly. I have a couch with light leather or artificial leather that is killing me. Impossible to keep clean dry even with special rubbers and microfiber, and every smudge gets a halo if you try to clean it yourself with any fluid. Will have to give it to a leather/dry cleaner. Don’t want to spend the money.
In the NYT was an essay with an online photo slideshow about a former art director for the Rolling Stone and other magazines living in the desert in 5 shipping containers on the weekend. And a couple buying a house outside of NY in the Catskills and renovating and furnishing it on a shoestring budget. Sounds interesting, and cheaper.

That is not necessarily true.
First off, most of the people he is speaking to will never be NBA or any other form of professional athlete. Therefore it is important for them to stay in school and get an education.
Secondly, skipping college to go directly into a professional career, if you are capable of it, is far and away the smart thing to do. Whether it be playing a sport, having a great voice or a knack for numbers and investing, the earlier you start your earning career, the better. I know of a couple of guys that had an interest and ability for writing software. Neither stayed in school and as far as I can determine, they both have done ok.

its a good move for Pittsburgh
You are out of contention, get some prospects for a veteran. Small market teams have to do it that way— not even the smartest small market teams (ie the Rays, Marlins and A’s) are able to compete in all, or even most years. Pittsburgh’s made some terrible moves but this isn’t one of them.

Does anybody else use a dream catcher?
I do. A small one, about the size of a hand. It looks like nice craft, although I’m not sure where it was made. And while I’m not sure it helps, at least it doesn’t disturb anything. I sleep very well.
As a kid I also had my favorite pillow until it dissolved itself. Now I kind of still do, but it’s a much more “high tech” pillow with a soft side and a smooth side ideal for travel. And I have one or two blankets that I love but everyone else would probably consider worthless.

Link to the pillows?
Just curious. Probably plenty of travel this fall.

Cocoon Travel Pillow, bought at an outdoor store but I think even Amazon sells them and different versions/brands
I use the version(s) with a kind of memory foam, not inflatable. I don’t like that even though it’s a bit smaller.
I also bought MSR “Packtowl” towels two years ago that I love for travel. Some great blueish microfiber material, very light, very small packing size, dries immediately, different sizes. http://www.msrgear.com

If anybody wants one of those MSR packtowels, or the softer 'personal' packtowels,
Come see me @ the Vancouver Wholesale Sports (formerly Sportsman’s Warehouse)… If we have the one you’re looking for, tell me you’re from Bedge and I’ll take your money and buy it with my discount.

Cool, thanks
There’s a store in BC with the same name on a search. I’ll keep you in mind when I’m up there. :)

Wholesale Sports bought out 15 stores from Sportsman's Warehouse.
So we changed our names to match the new owner’s company. Same type of business but the US stores are better laid out for customers.
Federal Way, Lacey, Vancouver, Spokane, Kennewick, Silverdale, & Burlington for stores in Washington
(sorry to advertise, btw)

Are the stores still filled with taxidermed animals?
by tingeyga on Jul 22, 2009 2:12 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes
The stores, when purchased, included everything in inventory and decor-wise as well… Sportsman’s Warehouse actually is suing the new company because we’re selling the rest of the SW Logo products even though they are legally the new company’s property and within their rights to sell (esp. considering they had the option of operating under the SW name and logo for up to 3 years from the sale date)… Needless to say that the suit will fail epically.
Blazers win!

Nice, though I’m not in the region. But I know the company is from Seattle. Buy local :)
