reading yahoo news during my lunch break and learned this - apparently MSN has created a "blog" type program to rival google's blooger version and AOL's journal version. it will be called MSN Spaces and you can put up your pictures, music and of course blog on it. read the full story here.

on interesting thing i took from the story was only 6% of american adults have created blog while 17% have read them. i'm assuming the rest of the people who do have them or read them are under the age of 21 talking about college/hs life.

i got my latest issue of Giant Robot magazine in the mail yesterday. the artist KAWS was on the cover. pigern quickly recognized it while i went ... what??? i doubt most people know most of the THOUSAND UPON THOUSANDS of artist out there yet their item/work is being priced at some absurd amount based upon what i believe is soley hype. the driving price of an item is the hype/buzz it gets. its like the whole internet company bubble thing back in 1997. i guess it is best put like this - i was in some Giant Robot-ish store in Alhambra with my friend and he commented this store is stupid in which i replied yes it is.
