Varieties of Human Experience: Wildly Disparate

My new favorite news trend is eWaste cities. They're stories about cities in China that are built out of old garbage computers.





If I was asked to make my own eWaste story, my punchy opener would be "You may think my most beautiful nightmares don't come true, but actually they do."

here is eWaste porn from:

China: Playing it cool

I'm sure most of you read this in Business Week


"Because of government restrictions on the channel, most Chinese never see [CNN]. Yet it has become such a popular target that an amateur song has become a hit on the Internet entitled, "Don't Be Too CNN." As the song's refrain puts it:

"Don't believe that lies will become mottos if they are repeated a thousand times,/
What's the purpose of racking your brains to turn fraud into truth/
Don't be too CNN/
I would rather believe you were silly and innocent."





Did you know that song is actually about Dave Coullier?
