Not only does Montreal have a killer public transportation system
there'a also a
killer website to go with it! (My
stupid car broke down again, in case you were wondering.)
Mother Jones : Low Power to the People
"After reviewing a series of petitions filed on behalf of self-proclaimed "microbroadcasters" yearning for a legal on-air voice, [FCC Chairman] Kennard last January introduced a proposal for new low-power FM broadcast licenses that could allow thousands of small broadcasters to operate at power ratings of between 1 to 10 watts, 100 watts, and 1,000 watts, filling in the gaps that now separate bigger stations' signals on the FM dial."
Douglas Coupland : 32 Thoughts about 32 Short Films
"When I was 22, I bought a Glenn Gould cassette, knowing nothing of Gould's tendency to hum during recordings. I thought there was a defect in the tape and tried to return it." The "snap-shot" style of story-telling is something of a hit and miss affair. One of the best examples I've read was an essay in The New Yorker on David Salle titled "37 False Starts". Their
website really begs the question, so just go to your local library (author? date? sorry.)
Scott McNealy
"The car is a vast, untapped market for advertisers...I often refer to the automobile as nothing more than a Java browser with tires." I think I'm going to have to break something today.
