  • Hard News: Word of the Year 2011 -- The Vote!, in reply to Lilith __,

    now and zen...

    The thing with “munted” is it kind of sums up a lot of different sorts of bent, broken, burst, buried, flooded, fallen down, cracked, cut off, subsided, and not functioning.

    ...and carries on into the uncharted regions,
    where wabi-sabi tapers off...

    "[Wabi-sabi] nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect."

    and

    Pared down to its barest essence, wabi-sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay, and death.
    It celebrates cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather, and loving use leave behind. It reminds us that we are all but transient beings on this planet-that our bodies as well as the material world around us are in the process of returning to the dust from which we came. Through wabi-sabi, we learn to embrace liver spots, rust, and frayed edges, and the march of time they represent.

    Munted embraces the lack of beauty and love involved
    in the natural processes we have endured...

  • OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to Damian Christie,

    Luddite entertainment...

    And this close to Christmas, it’s worth noting that there are very few machines than can’t be smashed to pieces by a toddler before the turkey is out of the oven.

    I reckon those 'nek minnit' bibs will just fly off the shelves...


    'ullo, Boson...

    atomic propositions
    shady deals

    more spin and counterspin...

  • OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to Sacha,

    Sinister ambi-dexters...

    I reckon we're at an interesting point where
    the underlying models are actually changing.

    and chirality (handedness) is losing relevance...
    it is no so much whether the hands are Left or Right
    but whether they are Even, Fair or Heavy
    and as long as they make a good fist of it...

  • OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to Bart Janssen,

    Interface off its face...

    ...typos are easier on an iPad under the influence of alcohol.

    How do you digitise the alcohol to get it into the iPad?
    Or is that what the selection of 'ports' is for?
    (Do iPads even have ports, or am I thinking laptops?)

  • Hard News: News media meets new media:…, in reply to merc,

    we're all at sea...

    ...I’m more used to a different editing environment.

    Moving from the One Man Sub to the Self Contained Ubiquitous Bracket Assembly system can take a little getting used to, just so long as the oxygen of discussion flows and the weight of one's arguments prevents the bends of logic...
