Fast man, slow goin'

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The body of "Bullet" Bob Hayes, who helped to revolutionize the NFL and once reigned as the fastest human on earth, lies here in an unmarked grave. All that distinguishes the site -- tucked into a corner of a modest cemetery in a city reaping a $350 million bonanza from tonight's Super Bowl -- is a windblown ...

The river: it enfolds us in its icy embrace. Superficially, it isn't turbid, only an insistent, coiled, supremely powerful inertia. Stop swimming for an instant, and I can feel it push me downstream at a steady 2mph.

Tycho:   One of the questions during a a panel at PAX had to do with the italicised line at the end of each day's post.  They're almost always song lyrics, and back before we were paying for bandwidth (and before RIAA rape gangs were prowling the web) these lines used to link directly to the MP3.  I maintained the practice afterward because it's sort of like a song of the day, and I like the idea that someone might be struck by a strange turn of phrase and seek out a piece of music.  It also serves as a gauge of my mental state at the moment.  Today's song, for example, is Stan Rodgers' incredible live version of the sea shanty "Rolling Down To Old Maui," which Pandora kicked out after about a week of tuning the station.  I've listened to it about thirty times today.    The person who asked the question at the con complimented my musical tastes, and I accepted the compliment, but I'm almost always late to the scene.  I just bought Interpol's "Turn On The Bright Lights," for chrissakes.  I'm mostly lucky to know people who do have unique library.  I told him I would mention a few of my favorite bands on the site, but then I forgot.  Essentially, it's music that cool people were listening to a decade ago (where applicable).  I am a musical carrion bird.    He wanted me to list off a few bands, and I said I would last week, but then I forgot.  These are the first ten albums I could think of.    "Starless" by Shiner

Andrew S. Fastow, who was recently sentenced for his role in the Enron debacle, does seem to be a changed man. But it took him a very long time to get to that place.
