Just makes me want real bubble wrap.
Try it in manic mode.

I am a fan of Rene Magritte because of this painting. It hung in a friends dorm room last year, and every time I saw it I would comment on how I liked it. She became annoyed since I saw it quite often and never remembered seeing it. I'm pretty sure she just started ignoring me. I would also ask her who made it every time (I have a horrible memory). Now that I've stumbled across a site dedicated to Rene Magritte nearly a year later I think I might remember the name this time. This piece is called 'The Son of Man' and was made in 1964.

Heavy stuff for a sunday
Parenting isn't a subject I often find myself considering but I just happened to read an article thats got it weighing on my mind. I was innocently searching the the web for the anything on a tagger in DC whose stuff I've been seeing everywhere and instead came across multiple articles on 'tagging children'. Forums on whether it was moral, professionals advice on what the safest and most productive method was. Tagging children?!? Frankly I wasn't even sure what that meant, so I clicked the first link I saw, an article from the Times Online.
There are chips made you can put in your child. They send electronic signals to a computer. Sounds kinda like sonar. But with a chip. In your child.
A professor at Reading University says,"that the point about chipping is not that you would use it to track your children 24 hours a day – only in a worst-case scenario." Sounds a lot like the arms argument. Guns are for self-protection and thats what they're made for, once they are out of the warehouse its out of the manufactuarers hands as to what they are used for. Not that I'm comapring chipping to the mass production of weaponry.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, would you chip your child?
Should we fall under the influence of movements inspired by fear?
