POPSPotential Paradigm Shift? I am always wary of ideas that glorify computers as the best (and perhaps only true) way to understand the functions of the world and life. However, this one is slightly different from the ones I've seen before, so...maybe?

POPSListening To Teens, Not Just Demonizing Them I listen to My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy and others that are called 'emo'. I know, from an adult perspective, that calling them suicide-promoting cults is a filthy lie. But it's really good to see a teenager eloquently saying it as well.

POPSFatal Hit And Run By My Home I heard this happen. I heard a huge thudding crunch and then silence. I knew that there had been yet another accident at this intersection. I'm saddened, but not remotely surprised that it was fatal. Always, always the accident is caused by someone attempting to go West on Buckingham. Without fail.

POPSCutting Your Food's 'Gas' Price I've heard of the whole eating locally thing, which I still like the idea of, but I like that this goes a step further. Of course, I'm starting from a pretty decent spot...being only lacto-vegetarian. Damn my cheese addiction.

POPSAnother Fannish Meta-tale Seriously, being part of slash fandom (and media fandom in general) is one of the best things that's happened to me. I've met the best people and it's things like this essay that reaffirm that.

POPSScrew Normal! Part of a wide-ranging discussion in fandom on livejournal about not freaking the mundanes with our kinky shit. Notable, to me, for the last quoted section in particular.

POPSLegal Music/Fan Vids? I am...intrigued, but cautious. While I want the corporations, particulary the mafiAAs, to chill the frak out about non-profit use of their works...I don't trust them.

POPSQueer Female Space Gender and sexuality are a frequent topic in the realm of Slash Fandom. This essay covers a broad swath of discussions on the subject.

POPSSave the City, Save the World? Starhawk wrote a book Five Sacred Things, that postulated SF as being the centre of a somewhat utopian new society. Looks like the people there are actually aiming for that in reality too. Kinda cool.
