COLUMBUS AND LEIF ERIKSON DAY

Time to celebrate Columbus Day. I am thinking of sending an application in order to join the Vasa Order of America. If you feel like a viking for a moment, how about celebrating Leif Erikson Day.

LEIF EDVINSSON AT BLUE CHIP

Leif Edvinsson visited Blue Chip Café & Business Center on September 20. He was interviewed by TilliT (meaning "trust" in Swedish) TV. The interview was conducted in the form of a talking circle session with Mikael Engström (TilliT), Jack Johansson (AlltArMojligt.Nu) and Leif Edvinsson (UNIC). Leif Edvinsson gave the following comment:

Trust's happy live news is a new positive form of Reuters. (translated from TilliT's site, 09/20/07.)

[Editor's comment: It definitively is a great need for an alternative news source if you read about "Retuersgate"...]



Professor Leif Edvinsson received The Brain of the Year Award in 1998. Check out Tony Buzan's site for more information.

PHILOLOGIST MARINA IS HOT FOR WORDS

It is hard to write something positive on a day like this (or publish anything at all for that matter). It was hard to compile yesterday's post, but I had to do it.

I stumbled upon philologist Marina on YouTube. She is really "hot for words"....



Talking about positive stuff, here is a quote from TilliT's (trust in Swedish) web site:

We are a team in Sweden working for the big event for sharing happy news in the world at www.wangoteborg2008.com. We have now the opportunity to spread happy news all over the world on the World Press Congress in Gothenburg, Sweden, 1 - 4th of June 2008. (Tillit.info)

[Editor's note: Full disclosure: TilliT has booked office space at Blue Chip Café & Business Center for a period of time.]

REMEMBER SEPTEMBER 11 2001

Remember September 11, 2001. I will update this post during the day. Read my post, THE 9/11 ATTACK FIVE YEARS LATER.

Tuesday Morning


UPDATE:

Here is a quote from Edward Cline's post, September 11th: Six Years and Counting.

Today is the sixth anniversary of 9/11, a day that has become less a day of infamy in men’s minds and more of a fading memory, not only among politicians – most of whom, Republican and Democrat, are too concerned with how to best straddle themselves on the fence yet still look appealing to voters – but among most Americans. Most Americans are living now in the enfeebling purgatory of disillusion, mistrust, and moral exhaustion. (The Rule of Reason, 09/11/07.)

From Good Morning: Tuesday, September 11 by James Lileks:

Where were you when you heard? Are you tired of being asked to remember? (Buzz.mn, 09/11/07.)
