Once again, we have the misfortune of watching science fiction lose its face to

the new technologies. From Spielberg and his automatic poetry generator report

to Dick Gibsons The Minority Resort, and with Philip Stephens Surveyscam and

Warrior k. Universals Ratio, it looks like the grammy’s and movie oscars have

become nothing if not an homage to the ability of humans to create creative

machine wub gurble. I prefer Chuang Tzu myself, who points out that all we can

do is mimic nature in the end anyway. So why stress all this stuff? It seems we

just need something to do to keep busy. Which isnt too bad. Here in America,land

of over productivity of stuff like useless garfield mugs and prettier and

prettier cans for our sardines to come in, we got it easy. If we’re worried

about food, a 3 pound bag of chips is just 99 cents on sale at the corner

market. I think its all part of the building of a gas station convenience store

on every street corner which is driving this productivity. Hopefully we’ll be

able to see upcoming movies like star wars III : attack of the clones and The

Minority Report from our front porch when those russian and chinese investors

put that moon-size low orbit movie screen theyve been talking about for 50 years

up. Heres lookin at you kid… just make sure it crashes down off australia or

somewhere unpopulated please. We dont need any more frozen radioactive waste

balls falling from airplanes, we already have all that now.
