A question of content (2002-04-15)
"What about the feeling that it's all been done? Not in the techie department, of course...but in those areas occupied by what platform proprietors call "content providers." What a phrase! Could anything register devastation of the spirit more completely than that little generic? ... Not since we landed on the moon and found nothing has our cultural unconscious encountered so traumatic a void."

- From 'Culture as Anesthetic' by Thomas Zengotita

Words of wisdom from Ursula (2002-04-03)
"A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls. Story-tellers and poets spend their lives learning that skill and art of using words well. And their words make the souls of their readers stronger, brighter, deeper."

-Ursula K. Le Guin
