[tag]Nam June Paik[/tag] passed away yesterday at age 73. The world mourns the passing of a true genius. His legacy lives on in video installations and robot families everywhere.

Saw this yellow/black Poe stencil featured over on Beyond the Beyond.  It’s cool. Check it out!

[tag]Exxon-Mobil[/tag] reports 2005Q4 as being one of record profits. $10.7 billion in profits.

Revenue rose 20 percent to $99.7 billion as rising demand and hurricanes lifted prices for oil, natural gas and gasoline. Full-year revenue was $371 billion, pushing Exxon Mobil past Wal-Mart Stores Inc. as the largest U.S. company by sales. The average U.S. profit on refining crude into gasoline and other fuels widened to a record of almost $11 per barrel processed.

And all this time I thought that the pinch of the supply side would cut into profits. How naive of me… Now that I have this straight: just gouge, you can make up any cover story you want and report record earnings.

Remember: That’s a profit bigger than Russia’s economy.

Suburbia.  An impending apocalypse.  Stockpiling food.  Organizing.  Family members missing.  A wife that is unfamiliar and isn’t fit to be called partner.  Adopted daughters.  A missing son.  The house is too big an unfamiliar.  Cardboard boxes won’t do it.  There’s looting.  Protect yourself from the looting.  Ride that out and you’re still not safe.  But one thing at a time.
