  • Wacky merchandising. See The Movie, Buy The Nail: “But nothing says ‘slightly masochistic Jesus fanatic’ like adorning your fine self with a two-inch silver pewter crucifixion-nail pendant, hanging ’round your neck…It’s an actual product, available right now for about ten bucks from Mel Gibson’s official ‘Passion of the Christ’ movie Web site, while supplies last, which they will forever and ever because they’re doubtlessly made in bulk by Malaysian sweatshop workers wearing faded ‘Lethal Weapon IV’ T-shirts who all believe in a very unhappy Allah.”

  • For Exercise in New York Futility, Push Button. The city deactivated the buttons long ago. Push away, it has no effect on the signal.

  • Wired Magazine Issue 12.03 is all about Google. There’s like twenty pages of all different kinds of stuff. “They named their new search engine Google, for the biggest number they could imagine. But it wasn’t big enough. Today Google’s a library, an almanac, a settler of bets. It’s a parlor game, a dating service, a shopping mall. It’s a Microsoft rival. It’s a verb. At more than 200 million requests a day, it is, by far, the world’s biggest search engine. And now, on the eve of a very public stock offering, it’s cast as savior, a harbinger of rebirth in the Valley. How can it be so many things? It’s Goooooooooogle.”
