Influential 20th Century Artwork :: Miscellaneous

Found an interesting link. Someone ranked the influence of various works of 20th century art via content analysis: the more times a work was referenced in various art/art history textbooks, the higher the rank. The list is interesting, and there were a bunch of pieces I hadn't seen before, and several old favorites that I hadn't seen in a long time. A lot of the links are broken, but if something strikes your fancy, I had good luck with google to fill in the blanks.

Currently listening to: "Technovo" by Volapük. Weird, engaging, interesting instrumental music is fine by me. It's even better when the band name is a reference to an obscure constructed auxiliary language!

Indefinite Postponement? :: Issues

Haven't posted in a while, but here's an interesting link.

So, apparently, the government is seeking legislation that would provide a means by which federal elections could be postponed in the case of terrorist attacks. A noble idea, but really, I don't trust Tom Ridge, Dubya, Dick Cheney, or John Ashcroft. At all. So, the idea that they're trying looking to have Congress give them the power to postpone federal elections is rather chilling to me. Shudder.
