Foto del Dia 12.13.11
There was also much discussion of water, a particular interest of GZA, whose albums include "Beneath the Surface" and the classic "Liquid Swords." (He’s working on a follow-up to the latter.) What makes water molecules vibrate in funky ways? Temperature, pressure, pH, and salt, said Rinn. What’s the ideal alkalinity for drinking? Around 8.5, said GZA, who recently bought a $4,500 ionizer because he was tired of spending $7 a day on Fiji Water.
There was music criticism, too. Pardis Sabeti, a Harvard evolutionary biologist who moonlights as the lead singer of a rock band, told GZA she was disappointed in what record executives want these days. Too generic, she said. GZA agreed. GZA lectures at Harvard

Robo-Call Retaliation
December 06, 2011, 2:20 PM — Are you ticked off by automated phone calls from political candidates? Now you can do something about it. Visit Reverse Robocall, and for less than the cost of a latte you can make your own automated calls to politicians about things that really bug you (like robocalls).
It’s pretty simple. Choose the issue, party, political entity, or representative you want to call. Plug your phone number into the site. Reverse Robocall will call your phone and let you record a message. Hang up and pay online to have that message sent and get an email report on whether the calls were answered. Better yet, you can post recordings of those calls online, if you choose, so others can listen in and rate your call (witty, angry, dull, etc).
The calls generally cost $2.49 per elected official, but there are group discounts. Got something you need to share with all the major GOP candidates running for president? That will run you $6.49. Have an urge to dial up every Democratic member of Congress? The pleasure can be yours for the low low price of just $19.49.

500 Points in a Day?
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Investors around the world raced to scoop up stocks on Wednesday, after the Federal Reserve said it will work with other central banks to support the global economy.
All three major stock indexes closed the day up more than 4%, but only the Dow managed to move into positive territory for the year and the month.
The central banks’ coordinated market intervention gave investors hope that world leaders could take necessary steps to avoid a credit crunch or market paralysis stemming from Europe’s sovereign debt crisis.
As a wise man said to me, contrary to conservative beliefs about letting the markets do what they do and ceasing regulation entirely, with even just a hint of confidence investors will suck up stocks like a Hoover. [Link]

Art is Dead
If you can find something more innovative than a blank canvas, or a symphony that consists of nothing but twenty minutes of silence, good luck. Art has reached the point in its evolution where the absence of art is the most radical thing you can produce. But when you want to listen to something new, forget about it. (Source)
