If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

---- Adelaide is home. Work is often in Canberra. Relaxation is in Victor Harbor. I'm a frustrated photographer & philosopher who has lost his way in life. I used to be a policy wonk. Now, as a knowledge worker I have trouble learning to live in a complex digital world. Personal expression is the way I critically cope in a technological mode of being.

If the time is destitute because it lacks the unconcealedness of pain, death and love, then in postmodernity we are experiencing a shift from the texts of literature to images produced by various visual regimes. We now live embedded in a visual culture.

The best in us has perhaps been inherited from the sensibilities of earlier ages to which we hardly any longer have access by direct paths; the sun has already set, but the sky of our life still glows with its light, even though we no longer see it. (Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human)

sports circus « Previous | |Next »

January 14, 2007

The summer carnival continues. First it was the cricket now it is the tennis. It is spectacle is it not?

Matt Golding

I caught a few moments something called 20/20 cricket a week or so ago on free -to air television. It was sport as entertainment with the fireworks and all.

20/20 is the last hope to reserect state cricket from the bowels of boredom...

I see that wordpress has introduced "snap" to all there blogs

Posted by: Shaymus | January 14, 2007 08:49 AM

Shaymus,
the glimpse of 20/20 cricket I saw with the fireworks at half time was between Australia and England.

What is "snap"? Something to do with photography and blogs?

Posted by: Gary Sauer-Thompson | January 15, 2007 07:14 AM

You put it on your blog...its free...when a person puts the cursor on one of your links or comment it opens a little window that displays the blogs coverpage its quite interesting...I had it on one of my blogs a couple of months back but got sick of it..

Shaymus
the Golding cartoon misses the the brawl, involving supporters dressed in national colours and waving the national flags of Croatia and Serbia.It's an ethnic-based violence normally associated with soccer.
