A rethink of the terminal (and Unix philosophy) - http://acko.net/blog...
May 19, 2011
from
"I've been administering Unix machines for many years now, and frankly, it kinda sucks. It makes me wonder, when sitting in front of a crisp, 2.3 million pixel display (i.e. a laptop) why I'm telling those pixels to draw me a computer terminal from the 80s."
- Christopher Galtenberg
"So instead, I opted for a front-end built in WebKit. Programs can display anything that a browser can, including HTML5 media. The output is built out of generic widgets (lists, tables, images, files, progress bars, etc.). The goal is to offer a rich enough set for the common data types of Unix, extensible with plug-ins. The back-end streams display output to the front-end, as a series of objects and commands."
- Christopher Galtenberg
Worth visiting for the blog design alone. But this is a paradigm-shifting project, I believe.

Illuminating read. Obama As A "Third Culture Kid" - http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/2011...

"Obama, is what we call, a TCK—A Third Culture Kid. TCK’s grow up as the children of missionaries, or as military brats, or as the children of businessmen. It means that you grew up during your early developmental years in a culture outside of your parents’ home culture."
- Christopher Galtenberg
Chris -- there has been quite a bit of serious academic research into the field of "elite sociopaths" -- highly successful people who are glib, charming and thoroughly manipulative and dishonest. They tend to be very likable, like Obama, and convey an aura of convincing sincerity. Absolutely nothing they say can be trusted -- there is usually a major mismatch between their words and actions. The bottom line is that Obama has extended and expanded on the neoconservative policies that he promised to reverse. Few Obama supporters are able to deal with this reality in a rational way.
