Southland


Not since the Wire annihilated all standards have I been even the slightest bit interested in crime dramas. That one glimmer of hope was Southland: the the gritty fucked up LA cop show with Bull and the dude from the OC. Of course, NBC canceled it (Fuck you Leno). And now TNT will air the remaining episodes? They might even renew? If only they would pick up Dollhouse…

Have We Forgotten How To Forget?

For most of human history, almost everything people did was forgotten, simply because it was so hard to record and retrieve things. But there was a benefit: “Social forgetting” allowed everyone to move on from embarrassing or ill-conceived moments in their lives.

Digital tools have eliminated that amnesty. Google caches copies of our blog postings; social-networking sites thrive by archiving our daily dish. Society now defaults to a relentless Proustian remembrance of all things past.

District 9

Although it was a pretty low priority on my summer-movies-list, I saw District 9 last night. A beautifully filmed and tastefully conceived plot, D9 is one of the best science fiction films of the past few years. Highly recommended.

Below is the 2005 short film that backed the feature length’s green light.

Germany


This is a travel video of my trip to Germany. The trip was to perform NPSH and performance tests for vertical turbine pumps. There was also a lot of down time, which I used to see local sights. Pictures are on the photo page.
