Week 3: Image Generators



My pseudo-marxist porridge box, after all porridge is the lumpenproletarian food par excellence. Incidentally does not all these generators of Steven Seagal movie plots, Danielle Steel covers, reality TV show premises etc remind one of Adorno's adage that it is precisely the eternal sameness, this compulsive repetition, that we seek in mass produced cultural commodities?

Week 2: RSS

Blogroll: http://www.bloglines.com/blog/jksdghj

I've gotten horribly behind on this but I am turning a new leaf. No more lassitude and procrastination. Although the RSS exercise is very conducive to the aforementioned. I did however discover, through a Lacanian blog, a video of Zizek calling vegeterians degenerates which was enjoyable. Of course I hold the exact opposite view and strictly agree with Porphyr's De Non Necandis ad Epulandum Animantibus on these matters. Unless Zizek was referring to degenerancy of a bodily kind.
