The free-knowledge fundamentalist
,----[ Quote ]
| An alternative view is that Mr Wales is still as intellectually curious as
| ever and is looking for a next big thing. He is in his forties now, an age
| that Carl Jung believed to be the “noon of life”, when men, in particular,
| reappraise past achievements and look for new ways to make a contribution. Mr
| Wales wants his to be Wikia, a for-profit company that is separate from
| Wikipedia. He calls it the “uncyclopedia” because he hopes to use wiki
| technology to build “the rest of the library”—books, articles about health
| and hobbies—with no presumption of neutrality.

Big Buck Bunny, We Want More!
,----[ Quote ]
| I watched Big Buck Bunny yesterday together with my 3-yr old son. While
| Elephant's Dream has a darker storyline, Big Buck Bunny is the complete
| opposite. It is fun-filled, and the characters are indeed very entertaining
| to watch. The movie is actually about a well-tempered rabbit named Big Buck
| who is bullied by three rodents. The fun begins when Big Buck decided to take
| revenge.
