Pure Stuff in its Elemental Form
Once again, the Flea has confessed as to my brilliance on the question of stuff which has led me to the realization that there is a vast opportunity to supply the stuff that one needs but does not get in this digital world. It seems also to me that there is exactly the right mix of mind power and experience here in the congregation of GX40 to supply that very need.
Accordingly, I would ask that you each sign up either here or on the bulletin board by the lunchroom indicating the stuff recommendation skills you bring with you so that we can create the Registry of Stuff which good honest folk caught in this digital world can refer to - for a fee - so as to ensure that their intangibles and tangibles are in line.

It would appear that either the nation had no time this weekend to post or they've no recommendation skills.

I had to relent at some point. After all, it must be difficult being right once a day when it used to be twice under the old analog regimen.

The simpler the truth, the more people are confused.

But I do like the idea of selling stuff. Recommending the poster that ought to have gone with that music, the t-shirt you should wear if you are going to buy into that line of thought.

There is a reason Marx called it commodity fetishism. There where he saw a challenge I see opportunity.

"Though" where he saw challenge... PIMF.

My own commodity fetishism is mainly confined to books of which I have several.
I had an interesting digital meets physical experience yesterday when I was browsing http://usedvictoria.com and came upon a gorgeous - and most importantly, large - solid wood bookcase not more than a couple of dozen blocks from my apartment. It, two bedside lamps and a wireless mouse were all of $30.00 and a delightful young lady with a farm sized pickup truck kindly drove me and my bookcase back home in exchange for help loading a desk she was buying.
None of this would have happened without the clever people at usedvictoria. And there is a usedtoronto for the flea.

There is no digital equivalent - let alone improvement upon - "a delightful young lady with a farm sized pickup truck."
