- COMPLIMENTS
OF DR. MENLO: Rex,
I am honored, once again, to be part of the Corpse. I'd tell
Andrei, too, but I know he's a busy man . . . so I'll send him
my moonbeam-thoughts (>eeyawwwwwwwwwww<) . . . ah, but one quick
thing: I'm sure you're way ahead of me on this, but I wanted
to make sure you guys were running something on blogs this ish.
I just found out about them (ok, a wee late), but they have
revitalized my interest in the net to untold lengths. To be
titled: WHY PORTALS SUCK, or WHY YAHOO SUCKS, etc, you know--in
that wonderful WHY SALON SUCKS vein (which I haven't read yet
but great title) . . . but just case I put together a brief
intro:
From
Wired ("The Web the Way It Was" by Leander Kahney, 2/23/00):
" . . . For example, Memepool recently provided links to sites
for creating your own Old Testament adventure, bubblewrap lingerie,
and entomophagy. At the same time, Yahoo's What's New linked
to Philip Morris, Quaker Oatmeal, and Clover Stornetta Farms
. . . "

John
Clark has written a most brilliant article for Britannica on

Taoism
has taken on myriad forms in the West. It's been invoked as
the basis for everything from New Age spirituality & sports
psychology to managerial "philosophy" and laissez-faire capitalism.
In
his essay "Going
with the (Cash) Flow", John Clark subjects market Taoism
-- all the rage today among New Age business managers & neoliberal
think tank types -- to careful scrutiny & suggests that Lao
Tzu -- a proto-anarchist advocate of liberation -- has been
stood on his head by the new sages.
