"'In some places in the world,'' he said, ''you can see people chasing the last fish. In the Java Sea in Indonesia, I have seen fishers going out in the morning, six of them going out and coming back with five pounds of fish. That is the end point, a pound of fish per person per day to sell for rice. That's where fisheries go if you let it happen. That's where it stabilizes. These people cannot feed their families.'' Unchecked, he says, the same will be seen around the world, and the fishing industry will leave little in the seas but harvests of what he calls ''bait and worse,'' the bottom levels of the marine food web like sea cucumbers, jellyfish and, eventually, plankton for future generations to eat." - Kamilah Gill from Bookmarklet

It's sad what's happening to fish. I think a lot of species won't be around in another decade or two. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

I'm very afraid of that, too. This scientist is on our side of this issue, I think. - Kamilah Gill

Ha! I saw this in my mini-search on stuff this morning. I find this so fascinating. - Derrick

So, do you get a wish or something? - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from iPod

agree with Kamilah three nut is very common and yeah she wondering about the world record makes sense - ffcode

That is very cool! - Katy S

If Jackie ever found one of those walking around our house, I would be deaf forever. I do, however, like that I have a much greater chance of killing it with a baseball bat than the little ones that always seem to get away. At least there's that. - Robert DeBord

Thank you, Brian Johns! - Kamilah Gill

That one too :-( - Kittyburgers

Sometimes Facebook *is* useful for things, I must admit. That's where I found this. It's weird. I look *just* like my mom here. - Kamilah Gill

Love those old Jettas - Mo Kargas

Is this really Anna? I hadn't seen pictures of her before. She looks like a model. Very pretty :) ... - Kamilah Gill from Posterous

very talented! - .LAG liked that

Woodless ones are Awesome. I have Koh-I-Noor Progresso, but these Art Stix come in twice as many colors. I'll get some soon. - Kamilah Gill

The 30 Rock ep turned out to be pretty clever (the auditions one). Wish I had, like, 50 hours a day so I would have time to follow all these shows and still sleep, eat, work, and make artwork. Anyway, any thoughts from Hulu fans about the upcoming changes? It's kind of hard to search for Hulu on here because I bet I'd mostly get links to shows people are watching, not discussions about Hulu itself. - Kamilah Gill

They would need to provide more than "tv on the internet" for me to pay for their service. There are other ways to get shows on-demand otherwise. I like their experiment: some shows have the option to let you see a long (15 minutes?) commercial/ad before your show starts to watch it commercial free throughout. I wouldn't even be opposed if they presented more commercials to keep the... more... - Arlan Koizumi

Luckily for me, today's subjects had lots of white space and very little color. It ended being kind of late, anyway, so I was running out of time. ... - Kamilah Gill from Posterous

This is a beautiful, beautiful piece. Listen to it, you've probably heard it before somewhere. It's featured in The Big Lebowski in the part where The Dude meets the porn director and then gets drugged into having the Busby Berkeley fever-dream. - Kamilah Gill

"The perfect song. Henry Mancini’s Lujon is the perfect song. Note to all musicians everywhere: you might as well give up. You’re too late. Henry Mancini already did as much with music as can be done." I just watched The Big Lebowski for the first time, and one of several things it gave me was the urge to immediately find out what song this was. My dad could tell me what it was right away if I'd played it for him. Heard it many times as a child. *So* lovely. - Kamilah Gill from Bookmarklet

I didn't think that you did say that. Sorry, I think was a little unclear. oops - Kamilah Gill

Great. Now I'm hOngry AGAIN. :) - Micah Wittman

I knew it could be read both ways, John. Kind of works either way ;) And Jason, I can see about the selling prints thing. I'm game. I just need to find a good way to do it. I'd probably compile a set of greatest hits or something. In a couple more months, I should have enough to pick some out and post them all together. - Kamilah Gill

I don't have my own headset. ... - Kamilah Gill from Posterous

"No Doubt says that it agreed for Ms. Stefani and her band mates to appear in the new game Band Hero. But the rock group said that the game makers went too far by allowing Ms. Stefani’s virtual counterpart to perform songs that No Doubt never recorded, including “Honky Tonk Women” by the Rolling Stones. This “results in an unauthorized performance by the Gwen Stefani avatar in a male voice boasting about having sex with prostitutes,” the lawsuit says." Seriously. Can't people take a joke? - Kamilah Gill from Bookmarklet

Anyone celebrating in some way? - Kamilah Gill

sounds so familiar with what is going on... except for the gunpowder part.. treason and plots... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Harold from fftogo

"The monsters have no historical antecedents. They're clearly not animals, and they're not the caricaturization of a person. They sit, instead, as the third point of a triangulation — not between humans and animals, but equidistant from the two. They're clearly meant to invoke something of our environment: the Philadelphia Phillie's Web site lists the Phanatic's birthplace as the Galapagos Islands — a place whose name evokes rich ideas of life and biology and evolution — and not some place as fanciful as the Phanatic itself." - Kamilah Gill from Bookmarklet

I guess there's not really anything wrong with spending a little time pondering these phenomena. They are *there*, after all... - Kamilah Gill

The internet is all about such things. And even before the web, plenty of academics have written papers on things just as esoteric and gotten paid to do it. - Spidra Webster

This is directly relevant to me and my situation. About to read it now before going to sleep. "When the economy sours, news anchors talk of housing and manufacturing, of hedge funds and barrels of oil. They generally don’t discuss the lives of artists, and how their careers are crushed into a dull oblivion. If artists survive the fiscal and emotional shakedown, they steady themselves as adjuncts in the Midwest, they design for architectural firms. They take corporate commissions and they sit on city planning boards. They might show again, but this time in coffee shops or farmers’ markets." - Kamilah Gill from Bookmarklet

It's a bizarre life story. In this case, truth really is stranger than fiction. I really don't think anyone could just invent a story quite like this one... I didn't realize that he had achieved international fame until I got into the article. So it's a bit less relevant to me than I'd hoped, but, still, it does touch on the difficulty of being an artist in general. He just made some choices that ended up being really bad for him later on. - Kamilah Gill

"Unsurprisingly, it was “The Simpsons” that introduced the digressive gag into the sitcom arsenal. Instead of drawing on cartoon staples like Acme explosions, “Simpsons” writers made use of the pliability of animation and gave pop-culture allusions entire scenes of their own. The creator of “Family Guy,” Seth MacFarlane, followed suit and pushed this technique to the extreme, hopping from sketches about Steve Buscemi’s teeth to Aquaman to a diabetic Fat Albert." - Kamilah Gill from Bookmarklet

"On deeper inspection, these narrative techniques recall the Postmodern literature of the 1960s and ’70s, a time when writers of metafiction began following in the lineage of “Tristram Shandy,” stressing interruptions of story over story itself. In “Gravity’s Rainbow,” Thomas Pynchon spent 10 pages discussing a sentient light bulb; Robert Coover’s “Pricksongs and Descants” ambled through multiple realities; John Barth’s “Sot-Weed Factor” was called an “anatomy” of a story." - Kamilah Gill

Last time I tried to draw Tina, I was way too tired. This time, it's still kind of late, but I was able to take my time. I have the nice smooth Moleskine surface now, too. ... - Kamilah Gill from Posterous

Quite welcome! :] - Kamilah Gill
