Dylan’s army is heading south?

Leaving Brainerd today, I had an intense rush of eROI/Old Town deja vu when I noticed an army guy guarding the Allen Hall evacuation plan: Dylan, have you been deploying troops down to Eugene…perhaps continuing the waging war on the drug dealers…?

youtube – the past, present and future

Just watched the Anthropology of YouTube today – interesting stuff: As technology progresses, the media will continue to mediate human relationships. The most common type of YouTube video is home videos – think Charlie Bit Me – how many times was that replicated?  (at least 4,000 times according to a YouTube search…) Soulja boy is [...]
