I've been away in Tasmania for a week travelling in the west-central and south-west of the island--a place that some people call wilderness. It is not wilderness per se, as aboriginal people lived there before the European pioneers came and begun to build the corporate state to foster development through conquering the wild nature of Tasmania.
I thought that I could blog from where I was in Queenstown. I was exploring the possibilities of taking photos with a digital camera and then posting them direct to junk for code. It was not possible. There was nothing by way of a fast internet connection for me in the cottages I stayed in. Nor could I find public internet facilities. So I had to make do with roll film and old fashioned Leica and Linhof cameras.
I'm just trying to catch up with what's been happening in the world whilst I've been disconnected from all media for a week. That means reading yesterdays papers and blogs to reconnect. This cartoon caught my eye:
Leunig
Admittedly, the cartoon refers more to the war machine post on philosophy.com but I just like the image. It is very graphic. Leunig has moved away from this kind of work to more text and image.
