Fri. 02.15.08 - Much like the independent film that came out in 2004, "A Day without a Mexican", I wonder when a film entitled "India: A Day without a Horn" will be made. Of course, it won't be an art house film, but an action thriller horror movie, as what would Indian drivers do without a car/truck/motorcycle/rickshaw horn... It could also be a comedy under the right writers and director.

Also, I love the artwork painting on trucks, esp. the front of the cab and on the tailgate. The truck above on the road between the Goa airport and Panaji was one of many with signs, art, and slogans on the tailgate.

Tidbits

  • The LA Times reports on Venus figurine sheds light on origins of art by early humans : A 40,000-year-old figurine of a voluptuous woman carved from mammoth ivory and excavated from a cave in southwestern Germany is the oldest known example of three-dimensional or figurative representation of humans and sheds new light on the origins of art... The intricately carved headless figure is at least 5,000 years older than previous examples and dates from shortly after modern humans arrived in Europe. But it already exhibits many of the characteristics of fertility figurines carved millenniums later.

    Larger than Life in London: It's invariably the little things, the unconsidered, off the cuff, in passing, unrehearsed things that snag our attention, and seem to be telling of the bigger things. In the case of Barack Obama's first visit to London and the Group of 20 conference to save the endangered habitat of bankers and real estate salesmen, it was the handshake with the bobby that seemed to be emblematic. In a forest of waving palms, this handshake meant more.

    And to continue the newspaper links, Jeremy Keith on Inkosaurs : Whenever I see stalwarts of a dying business model rail against Google in this way, I can't help but think that what they're really angry with is the web itself.

    Steven B. Johnson's Old Growth Media and the Future of the News : The metaphors we use to think about changes in media have a lot to tell us about the particular moment we're in. McLuhan talked about media as an extension of our central nervous system, and we spent forty years trying to figure out how media was re-wiring our brains. The metaphor you hear now is different, more E.O. Wilson than McLuhan: the ecosystem. I happen to think that this is a useful way of thinking about what's happening to us now: today's media is in fact much closer to a real-world ecosystem in the way it circulates information than it is like the old industrial, top-down models of mass media.
  • Clay Shirky on Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable : "When a 14 year old kid can blow up your business in his spare time, not because he hates you but because he loves you, then you got a problem."
