Yeah, that Quark logo has been the talk about all the forums the past couple of days, you would think they could hire someone that had an ounce of talent.

Whoever designed it must have been spending a lot of time at Monster looking for a new job lately.

Quote:


No one is ever going to put a name to this face. Its owner lived before writing, agriculture, or towns existed, before there were states that kept records, and long before a Greek man named Herodotus decided to write something called "history". The only reason we can be sure the people who painted in caves during the Ice Age were as human as we are - that is, they used their brains in the same way we do - is that they made art. No other animal makes art. And now the earliest art has a human face - literally.

The eye is a bold horizontal slash that connects to a downward diagonal apparently signifying a nose; below is a thinner line suggesting a mouth. These features are drawn in black on a face-shaped rocky mass in a cave near Angoulême in western France; discovered in February, the image has only now been made public after scientific testing by French archaeologists that has apparently convinced them of its authenticity and age - they claim the drawings in it were done 27,000 years ago, which makes the Vilhonneur grotto one of the oldest sites of rock art in the world, predated only by Chauvet in the Ardèche (32,410 years old) and some of the paintings at Cosquer in Bouches-du-Rhône (28,370 years old).

Finished (Neil Peart's Traveling Music).

It was a fun read because I'm a fan, but it was organized in a confusing manner (the chapter headings were a good indication of that). He had three narrative levels going on: the music he was listening to (and the associations they brought up), the current road trip, and historic/biographical flashbacks. I guess it works on the level of travel writing, but I would have been happy if he'd just stuck to musings about music. At times I'd get frustrated because he stopped short of giving details. For example, when he'd start writing about how and when he met up with Mickey Hart, but then wouldn't recount anything substantial about what they talked about; when he brought up other drummers who had influenced him, but not how they influenced him. I liked the chapter about the early days of the band. I liked the stories about run-ins with fans and the descriptions of places and people in general.

Hey, another Rush fan!

I enjoyed Peart's The Masked Rider, but slogged through Ghost Rider. The premise of the latter was morbidly fascinating (the author loses his only child to a car accident then his wife to cancer within a year, hops on a motorbike and drives up and down North America to do some soul-searching), but I found myself getting frustrated with him. Sure, he's understandbly anti-social given everything he'd been through, but he came off and needlessly angry and condescending in describing the tourists he encounters. The "letters to Brutus" section didn't work for me (why should I care about his jailed convict friend?), and the travelogue read more like a list of what he saw that day (compared to Masked Rider, which seemed far more evocative in its descriptions of people and sites in West Africa). The ending comes of out nowhere, with barely two pages on how he met his new wife and moved forward with his life.

I was so soured on Peart's writing after Ghost Rider that I decided to skip Traveling Music. That said, I'm curious about the forthcoming Roadshow: Landscape With Drums, which focuses on life during the recent R30 anniverary tour (the DVD set is phenomenal, btw).
