Yeah, but did you see the new iPhone 3G?! I’m thinking of buying one because I’ve been brainwashed by Apple’s marketing campaign and I agree I’m really not cool until I get one.

No, for real, though, the United States is like Rome with the Barbarians at the gate; oblivious to the destruction at hand because of all the great stuff that lulls us into a false sense of security. I like what this guy wrote:

“It has been observed that nations and empires have “life cycles.” This has been studied by many historians throughout the years and most have come to the same conclusion: a lifetime of about two centuries. And they all seem to go through the same life cycle: “from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependence back again into bondage (Alexander Tyler, 1750).

“Where are we in this cycle? We, too, have gone from bondage to spiritual faith; from faith to great courage which established our precious liberty, which, in turn, has given us unprecedented abundance that has made us the envy of the world. That abundance, however, has led to complacency and apathy. Ask almost anyone, “What is the biggest problem in America? Is it ignorance or is it apathy?” They are likely to answer, “I don’t know and I don’t care!”

“This apathy will ultimately lead to dependency and then return us to the very bondage that this nation was founded to deliver us from.”–SLEEPING IN AMERICA, Koinonia House newsletter

Ross on Amadeus II:

I haven’t used Amadeus II, but I do own Amadeus Pro (and, of course, keep Audacity around). Both good apps, but I much prefer Amadeus Pro to Audacity. Slightly less awkward to use imo. From what I understand Amadeus II and Amadeus Pro are largely the same.

ben on Touch & Go’s 25th @ the Hideout’s 10th:

Yeah, the MOA pics are the best of the set.
I also like the solitary figure of Albini in the shadows at the end.

Benxamin on •••• Tikka Masala:

Fry tofu in my oil blend (canola, soy, olive and “Mongolian Fire”). Then add one jar of tikka masala sauce!

It’s total cheating, I know. I’ll have to get a recipe. From what I understand it’s like tomato soup with spices.

Rhonda Gamache on •••• Tikka Masala:

What’s your recipe for Tikka Masala? The whole family loves Sweet Potato Masala and Chicken Tikka Masala and we go to Indian every few weeks. If Zanon had a choice, he’d only eat at Yak and Yeti and Namiko’s Japanese Restaurant (for the sushi, of course).
