Alan Moore on Pornography. The excellent essay from Arthur magazine. "Just to recap, then, sexually progressive cultures gave us mathematics, literature, philosophy, civilization and the rest, while sexually restrictive cultures gave us the Dark Ages and the Holocaust. Not that I’m trying to load my argument, of course." (via WEllis)]]>

http://www.peteashton.com/linkfarm/07/03/29/buckminster_fuller.html
Buckminster Fuller (Wikipedia). Fascinating chap. Particuarly intrigued by his notion of "recycling resources into newer, higher value products" which ties into a lot of cultural / artistic ideas I'm interested in (skip diving, modified cameras, potentials of junk, that kind of thing). ]]>

Fight Firefox resizing with four simple steps. For those annoying sites that seem to think they know what size your browser should be. Strikes me the advantage of Firefox is how it lets you stop websites do stuff as much as anything else. (via Gordon)]]>

Yoshimi the Musical. Wayne Coyne: "There's the real world and then there's this fantastical world. This girl, the Yoshimi character, is dying of something. And these two guys are battling to come visit her in the hospital. And as one of the boyfriends envisions trying to save the girl, he enters this other dimension where Yoshimi is this Japanese warrior and the pink robots are an incarnation of her disease. It's almost like the disease has to win in order for her soul to survive. Or something like that."]]>
