    Bad Tempered ZombieAuthority Authority: 421
    I walk the back lanes these days, to the store.  It fills my need for new perspectives.  Familiarity, it seems, had made me oblivious to my surroundings, more blind to the details than the cataracts ever did.  And I live in the details. Today I passed the lady who wears her hair piled in a top knot.  She ...

    English Robins are forced to sing their song during the night.

    Some Songs ConsideredAuthority Authority: 427
    “Suburban Home” – The Descendents (Words/music: Tommy Lombardo, available on Milo Goes to College , SST 1982) For me, the key line in the Descendents’ “Suburban Home” is the one where  Milo Aukerman sings “I wanna be masochistic.”  It’s too self-aware to suggest that “Suburban Home” is ...

    Theres nothing I love better than interviews with Kim Stanley Robinson . TB: I understand that you live in a utopian community [called Village Homes, pictured above and below; images by Michael Corbett]. How does that work? Is it pre- or post-modern?

    Fountains are peculiar objects: We associate them with nature even though they are typically entirely artificial and man-made (unless you are living in Iceland of course). Recently however, a fountain that wasn’t planned for emerged in California’s San Fernando Valley. An urban water pipe carrying purified ...

  • 10 Ways to Fight Poverty in your Hometown


    angelawdAuthority Authority: 119
    Yesterday I talked about diet problems in the poor, and a number of people contacted me for ways to help. I think there must be two approaches to fighting poverty: personally helping those local people in poverty, and working against systems that foster poverty.

    Years ago, when I first starting working with the poor, I had imagined that poor people would be skeleton-thin and shivering in rags. I was surprised that many of the people I helped were overweight, and some were obese.  A lot of people had diet-related problems, and diabetes was rampant. I didn’t realize that the ...
