Thanks to the many people who turned out to see Exquisite Corpse last Thursday! It was standing room only, with a lot of great conversation afterward. If you'd like to try to catch this collection of bizarre short horror films -- or if you want to see it again -- come on by DV8 Espresso Bar and Art Gallery in downtown Greensburg (208 S Pennsylvania Ave) on Sat., 11/25 from 7-10pm. It will be shown as part of a double feature with Dorion Barill's short film, "The Shadow".

So about two weeks ago I started work in the electronics department of Target. Sad, I know...but rent must be paid. Anyway, we sell a shit load of TV's, ranging in price form forty dollars to about seven thousand, and you can always tell when an over-paid and probably under-endowed "business man" is trying to make up for everything lacking in his life.
You know the type I'm talking about...a starched Armani dress shirt tucked into a pair of pants that they took home and re-ironed on their lunch break, just to make sure they stayed creased all afternoon. They undue the top button of their collar and loosen their tie just a little to make sure you know that they've been hard at work behind their desk in the third cubicle on the left all day long, and that this stop is just one more annoyance on the way home.
And yet rather than just buy the biggest, clearest, flattest, crispest, most expensive TV they can find and just get it over with, they spend the next forty minutes talking to me about which televisions are better for which reasons, all while not-so-subtly implying that money is no option.
Wired News: U.S. Adds Wiki to Spy ArsenalThe office of U.S. intelligence czar John Negroponte announced Intellipedia, which allows intelligence analysts and other officials to collaboratively add and edit content on the government's classified Intelink Web much like its more famous namesake on the world wide web.
If this wiki is restricted to those who have legitimate access to sensitive information, it should be an excellent way to ensure that all the different groups of the government have up-to-date access to the best knowledge that each of the separate divisions has at its disposal. Of course, this presumes that the separate government agencies develop a culture of sharing information rather than hoarding it to protect local operations.
