Nice wx for it, too.<br /><br />looby: Yeah, that's what the play is all about. Apparently, the Chinese toil over these products. The suicide rate is quite high and the work is so repetitive and physically grueling that many of them are ruined for life.

His devices have a religious magic for their followers. No tears from this corner. He was a capitalist, an exploiter. Everyone who buys one of his project should also be made to read Walter Benjamin's essay on the The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, about how a product's aura is so bright that it blinds people into quasi-religious admiration.<br /><br />Anyway, as you can tell, I've been in University for too long...on a happier note - I love autumn, it's my favourite season. I like the change in the air, the way you have to get a different wardrobe out, the quality of the light.loobyhttp://loobynet.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-29278406001257922492011-10-24T10:17:35.566-04:002011-10-24T10:17:35.566-04:00I'm with you re: loving autumn and not getting...I'm with you re: loving autumn and not getting how folks who live where there is no such thing handle it. I'm a runner and I ran in a 5K race yesterday in Livingston NJ on a course that passed thru tree-lined streets. Race time was 9:30 so it was brisk but not uncomfortably cold and there was just that smell of autumn in the air. Simply great day to run and to spend time outside.Adam Kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876476233214402228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-23861549135409024992011-10-24T06:35:45.336-04:002011-10-24T06:35:45.336-04:00dinah: *I'm* not teasing you!

Currently, there's a one-man show at The Public Theater in Manhattan called <i>The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs</i>. Someone went to China to observe how Apple products are manufactured and, apparently, it's not pretty.<br /><br />daisy: All that will take place one week from tonight.

Dude was a genius, but he was also a shrewd businessman and in my opinion and awfully greedy little guy. He had all philanthropy nixed from his multi-billion dollar company and also had an illegitimate child he refused to acknowledge or support. That being said I am glad he made the iPod. <br />+followedElliot MacLeod-Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101422996950773526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-40564167186562095752011-10-23T20:09:14.204-04:002011-10-23T20:09:14.204-04:00Aw!
