E. Rosebud - February 19th Dabba Wallahs:India's amazing lunch delivery service The Dabba Wallahs have achieved and maintained a level of service over the last 112 years to which top-notch Indian business empires can only aspire.

Amy - February 17th The Art of Work: Union Workers Commission Artists From the Journal of Aesthetics and Protest "In support of today's protest by the Las Vegas Culinary Union against the Venetian Hotel Casino's anti-union activities, two Los Angeles artists are casting a shadow on the new Guggenheim Museum. The opening ceremonies for Las Vegas' newest institution of high art at the Venetian Hotel Casino take off this afternoon, but the motif of counter-celebration is already hanging in the sky. A "Black Cloud" is hovering over the museum today as members of the Culinary Union gather to protest union-busting by the Venetian. This "cloud" of over 1000 balloons is being called a sign of symbolic mourning for the Guggenheim's passive compliance with the Venetian Hotel Casino's anti-union campaign. Artists Nicole Cousino and Sarah Lewison predict further bad weather for Las Vegas, if contracts like the one the Venetian has made with the Guggenheim are going to be the centerpiece of the city's program to bring in high art.

Rosemary - February 03rd Transmediale Festival The theme of transmediale.04 is Fly Utopia! Dreams and illusions have been abandoned by our present society only on the surface. Rather, after the collapse of the 20th cenutry’s grand ideologies there is once again an increasing search for concepts that point beyond the restrictions of the factual and that offer visions of the old and the new potentials of creative action. In this context, digital media, and technology in general, maintain their ambivalent image as objects of utopian hope and as signs of an impending apocalypse.
