SUBJECT: I FOUND YOUR NOTEBOOK ON THE FREEWAY
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Nick,

The other day I was driving up the 405 freeway in a miserable state of traffic. I was thinking about all the things I have yet to accomplish in life. How I might accomplish them, how I might arrive at them and to what parts of the world they might affford my attendance. My car was inching along at aproximatly 12 miles an hour when I saw something shoot out from under a passing car and slam up against the near by center divider. quickly my eye recognized it as a laptop computer. with no hesitation I pulled into the left side shoulder and turnned off my car. I opened my door and stepped into a hurricane of wind and sound comming from the opposit side of the freeway which was roaring along like a procession of screaming buffalo. I walked against my side of traffic some fifty feet to find a damaged but life like DELL INSPIERON 8200. The title was Barely ledgable through a million different scrapes gashes created by its journey down the 405 playing the roll of a hockey puck. When I first saw it skidding in front of me I conclude it was being shot out from under a tire like a peice of ice being squeezed too tightly between two fingers.

I reached down and picked the thing up. The cd drive was dangling from it like an accidental peice of spaggetti stuck to the bottom of an eligant dinner plate. Except this plate was splintered at every cornner, bent like a half moon, and covered with a film of black grime and and dust.

With the bent top half standing open Just an inch I could barely make out what I can only explain as a miracle. THE THING WAS STILL ON!! "

At USDA, the Mouse Is in the House

(washingtonpost.com) : "Employees at the Department of Agriculture's main cafeteria were just sitting down to lunch on Friday when security guards ordered everyone in the huge eatery to leave. Al Qaeda? Bomb scare? No. Mouse droppings. The D.C. Department of Health closed the cafeteria for failing to pass inspection. Yes, the USDA, home to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the meat and poultry inspectors -- the agency that is part of the federal system for protecting the nation's food supply, was in violation of the D.C. Health Code. There were several citations, according to the inspection report, including: 'water leaking excessively' in the ceiling, employees not wearing hair restraints, and inadequate cleaning of the inside of ice machines, cabinets, surfaces and equipment. The biggest problem, however, seemed to be mouse droppings found everywhere -- in the dry storage room, by the salad bar, behind the ovens, near the serving line, ...

BW Online | March 1, 2004 | Software : "As Stephen and Deepa emerge this summer from graduate school -- one in Pittsburgh, the other in Bombay -- they'll find that their decisions of a half-decade ago placed their dreams on a collision course. The Internet links that were being pieced together at the turn of the century now provide broadband connections between multinational companies and brainy programmers the world over. For Deepa and tens of thousands of other Indian students, the globalization of technology offers the promise of power and riches in a blossoming local tech industry. But for Stephen and his classmates in the U.S., the sudden need to compete with workers across the world ushers in an era of uncertainty. Will good jobs be waiting for them when they graduate? 'I might have been better served getting an MBA,' Stephen says."

Artist turns animals into everyday objects

Ananova - A Chilean artist is making a name for herself with an exhibition in which stuffed animals are transformed into household objects. Artworks on display include a chick turned into a lamp, and 'sheep bag' - a lamb carcass fitted with handles. Artist Caterina Purdy says her exhibition at the Experimental Arts Centre in Santiago is intended to be humorous but also makes a serious point. She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful. 'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"
