Square-foot gardening, on the other hand, is all about eliminating those problems. Instead of tilling the dirt and pumping in fertilizer, you build a big box, put a liner on the bottom, and fill it with a mixture of peat moss, vermiculite and compost. Great soil. And no weed seeds to sprout up.Because you make the box small enough to reach everything without stepping in the dirt, your soil stays aerated. Because you don't have to weed, you can grow plants from fewer seeds, closer together, with each box broken down into neat, anal-retentive grids. The idea of a garden that can be plotted out on graph paper is already making Baker salivate.

Listen to Henry Purcell’s setting of La Solitude from 1684 (Z. 406), using the translation of his contemporary Katherine Philip, sung here by Susan Gritton on Hyperion’s collection of the Complete Secular Songs (CDS44161/3). This song is composed as a ground, with twenty-eight repetitions of the same ground base. One would think this monotonous, but the effect instead is mesmerizing, and Purcell colors the work beautifully to match the text.

The pressure is on to develop content that isn’t easily copyable—so now everything other than the recorded music is becoming the valuable part of what artists sell. Of course they’ll still want to sell their music, but now they’ll embed that relatively valueless product within a matrix of hard-to-copy (and therefore valuable) artwork.
* nice and short text from Brian Eno on the music business state

Teaching technique:
first the basic facts of a subject are learned, without worrying about details. Then as learning progresses, more and more details are introduced -
we must be extremely careful with context. When you recall an earlier mental model of something, and then augment that model, you may be rewriting the earlier model. In other words, you're not just adding to an in-place model, but in fact replacing an earlier model with a newer, expanded one. So what are you doing to ensure the foundational models stay intact? Are you repeating the earlier model, and adding resolution? Or are you just writing about the "new stuff" without regard for the existing material?

Point 1: " * As something of a pirate myself, I support Pirate Bay, the four Swedish file-sharing brigands (Frederik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Peter Sunde and Carl Lundstrom) who were yesterday sentenced to a year in prison and ordered to pay 30 million kronor (about $3.6 million) in damages to leading entertainment companies."

Whatever stupidities Amazon is guilty of, none of them are hanging offenses. The problems they have with labeling and handling contested categories is a problem with all categorization systems since the world began. Metadata is worldview; sorting is a political act.

Apartamento is the interiors magazine post-materialists have been waiting for. In the tradition of magazines like Butt, Purple and Here and There, it lays out on matte paper relaxingly informal snaps of real people’s living spaces, pretty much as you’d find them if you just dropped casually by.
