    Did YouTube Kill Performance Art? - Room for Debate
    In the Internet age, when the line between
    YouTube is a very different kind of publication.
    I am wondering if I can class suicide bombing as performance art.
    How about on camera beheading?  Gun sight camera records?
    What is the impact of YouTube on those?
    "The age of YouTube" has no impact on performance.

    Fixing, Not Ending, Environmental Regulation - Room for Debate
    Republican candidates need to articulate an alternative environmental vision more consonant with conservative values.
    The vision of rich persons walking away from toxic ruins with personal fortunes is "consonant with conservative values."  It does not appeal to me.
    Environmental Regulation is essential.  Everywhere is down wind and down stream from somewhere else.

    Failing Forward
    Charles Blow is correct.
    The first thing to do is to stop punishing the victims.
    We will still have a large group of victims.
    They need real hope.
    They need self respect.
    They need honourable work.
    They need housing.

    The Internet Is No Substitute for Live Performance Art - Room for Debate
    The most profound and powerful way to experience performance art is in the flesh and in real time.
    Clifford Owen has been well schooled as a photographer.
    He suffers from the "Gen Y" prejudice that anything older than he is must have spoiled.
    As he points out performance is older than humanity.  
    It will outlast humanity.
    The most satisfying performance for the performer is one in front of a live audience.
    The class of events he points to as "performance art" are experiments from another conceptual structure.  
    They were fun at the time but do not fit the present.
    Our arts culture is missing the studio walls.  There is effective art and there is ineffective art.  The ineffective stuff should not be inflicted on the public.  There are works that are difficult.  These can be left for posterity to figure out or shown to those who will understand them.
    Taking the measure of the audience is a big part of both the static and dynamic arts.

    Electric-Car Makers’ Quest: One Plug to Charge Them All
    One ring to rule them all
    One ring to find them
    One ring to bring them all
    And in the darkness bind them.
                                             J.R.R.T.
     A prime example of stenography.
    This is just another scheme for a profit centre. 
    Use the electric locally.  Use a rental internal combustion engine for distances when required. 
    Most of this is the salesmen talking.  
    480 three phase is available in all industrial areas from the pole.
    Good power control is standard in welding equipment.  Cost of a rapid charging station should run about the same as a gas pump.  Such things will be available for lease as soon as needed.  I could set up a company to do the manufacture and leasing.  Connectors are just an adaptor and perhaps a switch or two. 
    A great advantage of electricity is its near infinite flexibility.

    Chinese Protest Suspensions of Bloggers
    Chinese governance has a problem.
    If they sensor their net the bloggers will turn to the code of figurative language.
    There are other ways to communicate in public the forbidden ideas.
     
    The rail system is not working well and people are on to chemical wastes.
