weirdness

You know what is completely weird? Finding the blogs of one of your co-workers when they've never mentioned it to you. It totally feels like I stumbled onto something completely personal and private, even though logically speaking, it's on the Internet for everyone to see.

a few things

1. In the BSG finale of Season 2, the Chief (as union leader) gives a speech, which turns out is actually taken from a real one by Mario Savio, who was a leader of Berkeley's Free Speech Movement. I learned about it from Peterme.

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies on the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"

2. Damn, they made a new version of the Condor Heroes already? I don't like the looks of it, mostly because these new protagonists look so damn happy. It's not a happy series! I will always like Andy Lau as "Yeung Gor" the best.

3. Ubuweb is awesome.
