My Big List of Lists 2009



2009 was an ass-kicker of the highest order. The year found me traveling, exhibiting, and teaching all over the world, which was great, but it left me precious little time to spend with my husband, few opportunities to focus on my 2009 goals, and almost no extra space to expand my mind with the cultural happenings that have made up my past "Big List of Lists." So, this year I'm presenting a modest, recession-special list of lists:

1. Top 3 Albums
1. Middle Cyclone, Neko Case
2. Dark Was The Night, Various Artists
3. Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle, Bill Callahan

2. Top 2 Exhibitions
1. Robert Frank: Looking In at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
2. All The Days and Nights, Doug Dubois at Higher Pictures

3. Top 4 Places I Visited
1. Reykjavik, Iceland
2. Mexico City, Mexico
3. Aspen, CO
4. Sonoma, CA

4. Top 3 Blogs
1. Horses Think
2. The Frontal Cortex
3. Next Nature

5. Top 1 Goal for 2010
1. Create more time to create

Here's hoping that all of this year's pressures will produce some diamonds in 2010.

Bedlam Exposed

© Charlie Lord
All Things Considered had a fascinating story today about a group of WWII conscientious objectors who were assigned to work at state hospital Philadelphia in lieu of military service. While working in the hospitals they witnessed disturbing excesses of abuse against the patients. When the war was coming to an end they decided they would expose the violent neglect. Charlie Lord snuck in an Agfa camera and secretly recorded the conditions inside the hospital. The powerful photos were later published in Life Magazine shocking a country that had just ended a long war against tyranny.

Lindsay Lohan has a new boyfriend

[gallery_main-1108_lindsay_lohan_shopping_00.jpg]


God, do we have to do this after time? “Lindsay is definitely starting to turn to him when things get bad.” Because they’ve been dating for what? A week? And Adam Senn has already become a bit player in Lindsay’s drama. Yeah, I bet he lasts.

By the way, Dina Lohan wants everyone to know that after Lindsay’s whirlwind trip to India - in which she took credit for saving the lives of 40 children and was called out for her lies - Lindsay is now “a changed woman.” Dina told Page Six that Lindsay was “humbled and moved” by the trip and that “Lindsay definitely wants to give more back. We are now planning a trip to help the children of Guatemala — which will be filmed by Oprah’s network.” For f-ck’s sake. Not Central America! That’s where the drugs come from!

[gallery_main-1108_lindsay_lohan_shopping_01.jpg]


Just hours after the hearing - it was reported that Dina is demanding $40,000 in child support, while Michael claimed Sunday that it’s only $15,000 - spies say Lindsay showed up at her sister Ali’s 16th birthday party at Abe & Arthur’s with Senn, whom we reported she was dating on Dec. 10.

And while her, err, doting parents can’t agree on much, they both seem to think that Adam is a winner.

“Dina really likes him,” the source says. “She thinks he is ‘good for her.’”

Michael wasn’t on the guest list for Ali’s fete, but he too seemed pleased with Adam when asked about Linds’ new man Sunday.


[gallery_main-1108_lindsay_lohan_shopping_03.jpg]

“If he’s a good guy and he has no addictions, and he’s a good influence on her, then God bless him. It’s a good thing,” he told us.

And although Michael says he would have liked to meet the former “City” star at the party, he admits he’s not shocked he wasn’t invited. “I’m not surprised I wasn’t welcome at Ali’s dinner,” he says. “In light of what’s going on between Dina and I, and being so public with the things I’ve said in regards to Lindsay’s well-being, I can understand how Lindsay and the kids would be upset and not want me there.”

Indeed, Lindsay has publicly dismissed her dead-beat-dad, but an insider claims that his absence is still hard on the troubled starlet.

“Everything that’s gone on between Lindsay and her dad has really taken a toll on her,” the source confides, adding that “Adam is the one really positive thing going on in her life.”

The snitch also claims that Senn and Lohan were texting and calling each other over the holiday weekend - and are certainly acting more serious than “just friends,” which LiLo has claimed via her Twitter page.

Britney Spears still crazy.....

[gallery_main-1223_britney_spears_jfk_01.jpg]


Things have been running smoothly for Britney since her father took over. It’s been almost two years since her huge breakdown and she seems back to normal. Honestly, I didn’t expect her to be able to complete her tour, which ran from the beginning of March to the end of September with only a couple of one-month breaks. She also did 14 dates in Australia last month. Apart from yelling that her “p*ssy was hanging out” and getting slammed for lipsyncing in Australia without providing a live video feed for the audience, we haven’t heard many complaints about her tour. She only missed one gig due to an issue with the promoter. Sure she lipsynced and strutted around, it’s what she does. Sadly she may have to do it for a while in order to continue to pay huge lawyer bills, child support payments, and staff. At least she seems happy. Well, sort of.

[gallery_main-1223_britney_spears_jfk_07.jpg]

The judge didn't specify how long the conservatorship will remain in place, but lawyers involved in the matter tell TMZ they expect it to last somewhere between six months to a year.
Under the ruling, Britney's dad, Jamie Spears, will continue to receive a $16,000-a-month payment for his duties. Andrew Wallet -- the co-conservator -- was also granted a $174,569.10 payment for services rendered between July 2009 and November 2009.
The judge also authorized Britney's conservatorship to kick out close to $300,000 in attorney's fees.

[gallery_main-1223_britney_spears_jfk_06.jpg]

It was an expensive day in court Tuesday for Britney Spears. In a Los Angeles courtroom Commissioner Reva Goetz ordered the co-conservatorship of Britney Spears to continue, with her father, Jamie Spears, to continue to receive $16k a month for his duties as conservator of his daughter.

Goetz also ordered the co-conservator of Britney, Andrew Wallet, to be paid $174,569.10 for services rendered from July 2009-November 2009.


[gallery_main-1223_britney_spears_jfk_04.jpg]

In addition Goetz ordered Jamie’s attorneys to be paid $183,918 and attorney Joel Boxer to be paid $62,965.06. Another law firm was ordered to be paid $50k. Jamie Spears was also allowed to continue to receive $1200 for office space.

Samuel Ingham, the court appointed attorney for Britney Spears, said in court that, “She [Britney] accepted the accounting as filed and had no objection to it.”

Other housekeeping issues concerned continuing to seal all medical and certain business transactions because of “trade secrets” and the commissioner also increased the bond for the conservatorship from $1 million dollars to $25 million. Bond is similar to insurance in conservatorship cases, so if anything were to happen to Britney’s money she would be covered and reimbursed.

The next court hearing is scheduled for January 14th. Fees for Laura Wasser, Brit’s legal ace divorce attorney will be dealt with at that time.

One-Eyed Man with Harpoon


Fascinating story from Smithsonian.com about the discovery of the first known photograph of Phineas Gage, neuroscience's most famous patient
In 1848, Gage, 25, was the foreman of a crew cutting a railroad bed in Cavendish, Vermont. On September 13, as he was using a tamping iron to pack explosive powder into a hole, the powder detonated. The tamping iron—43 inches long, 1.25 inches in diameter and weighing 13.25 pounds—shot skyward, penetrated Gage’s left cheek, ripped into his brain and exited through his skull, landing several dozen feet away. Though blinded in his left eye, he might not even have lost consciousness, and he remained savvy enough to tell a doctor that day, “Here is business enough for you.”

Gage’s initial survival would have ensured him a measure of celebrity, but his name was etched into history by observations made by John Martyn Harlow, the doctor who treated him for a few months afterward. Gage’s friends found him“no longer Gage,” Harlow wrote. The balance between his “intellectual faculties and animal propensities” seemed gone. He could not stick to plans, uttered “the grossest profanity” and showed “little deference for his fellows.”

Rihanna poses 'topless' for GQ

[gallery_main-1215_rihanna_gq_00.jpg]

It’s interesting that Rihanna says she learned that “love is blind” - she told Diane Sawyer that she learned “f-ck love”. I tend to think “f-ck love” is a better motto, because the whole “love is blind” thing doesn’t really apply to abusive pricks. I mean, if the guy’s hitting you, who cares what he looks like? That’s what I take from it. I also find it interesting that Rihanna is adamant she got through the difficult period on her own - I suspect (as I’ve said before) that she’s still very screwed up over the entirety of the Chris Brown stuff, and she’s going to be playing with these submission-dominance images and substance for a while. Let’s hope she comes through okay!


[gallery_main-1215_rihanna_gq_03.jpg]

By continuing to speak out about Chris Brown’s violent Feb. 8 attack, Rihanna says she is slowly moving past the ugly incident.

“It’s relieving,” the singer, 21, says in the January issue of GQ. “Because it was built up for so long, and all these thoughts and emotions have been running through my mind for the past eight months. And now it’s like I finally get to let go and move on.”

Although she says doesn’t like “talking about it” a lot, “every time I do, it’s better; it’s easier each time.”

[gallery_main-1215_rihanna_gq_01.jpg]


She says she finally decided to speak out about the incident because “I wanted to move on. And I knew that was the only way I could have done it. And I wanted people to move on with me. ‘Cause the last big thing they know about me is That Night. And I don’t want that to be what people define me as.”

Although pal Jay-Z gave her “advice and guidance,” she says “nobody” helped her move past the incident.

Storage Trends 2010, Data Center Virtualization The Popular


In the year 2010 there are several trends that will occur in the storage industry in Indonesia. This was despite the increasingly growing needs of data centers is increasing.

The second trend that will happen in 2010, according to Stepehen, is the shift of the disk storage format to disk (D2D) to disk to tape (D2T). "The use of real D2T will remain on next year, but that nature are few and limited," he added.

The use of electricity-saving storage and environmentally friendly as well as a future trend in 2010. The problem in Indonesia using monolithic storage format than the use of many modular. In the future, monolithic will soon abandoned because of electrical problems that can not be compromised.

"In Indonesia, instead of monolithic can not be used, but use a very large power. If such force is used, can-can PLN (Perusahaan Listrik Negara) angry," selorohnya.

Clearly, the vendor data center will continue to be urged to create new innovations, since many firms will tighten their belts and change the spending of funds from capital expenditure (capex) to the operational expenditure (OPEX).

Miley Cyrus in a bikini

[gallery_main-1203_miley_cyrus_bikini_00.jpg]

Because I want to see what this whole jail thing is all about, here's Miley Cyrus' in Miami today proving there should be a law against 17-year-old girls working out. I'm serious, if they're off-limits for an entire year, they shouldn't be allowed near a gym. That's like telling a bear not to eat a deer only to turn around and slather one in salmon and Snickers bars which is probably the creepiest metaphor I've ever come up with. No one look at me right now.

[gallery_main-1203_miley_cyrus_bikini_01.jpg]

The 17-year-old singer was snapped enjoying a relaxing day with friends at the Fontainebleau Resort on Miami Beach as she lay by the pool having wrapped up her Wonder World world tour the night before.

[gallery_main-1203_miley_cyrus_bikini_19.jpg]


But it wasn’t the skimpy neon pink two-piece that attracted all the attention, but what appeared to be the words ‘Just Breathe’ tattooed in black ink on her ribcage just under her left breast.

[gallery_main-1203_miley_cyrus_bikini_02.jpg]

She also appeared to be describing the design to her friend after she was snapped gesturing at it with her hands.
In theory, Miley is not legally allowed to have a tattoo as she is under 18, which is the legal age to be inked in the US.


[gallery_main-1203_miley_cyrus_bikini_05.jpg]

However, after her brother Trace recently revealed that all the Cyrus family were planning to get matching ones, Miley may have been given permission to get one from her country singer father Billy Ray.

One fan’s blog this morning suggested that she got the tattoo in memory of a nine-year-old girl called Vanessa who passed away from cystic fibrosis in 2007.
Cyrus met Vanessa at a Los Angeles hospital and instantly connected with her, describing her as one of her best friends.

There was no word from Miley’s agent today to confirm whether the tattoo was a permanent or temporary one.

[gallery_main-1203_miley_cyrus_bikini_14.jpg]


Miley was photographed later that afternoon leaving the resort wearing a Jonas Brothers t-shirt in homage to her ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas.


[gallery_main-1204_miley_cyrus_bikini_03.jpg]

She is currently dating Australian actor and former Neighbours star Liam Hemsworth, 19, who she met while filming the Disney movie The Last Song.

[gallery_main-1203_miley_cyrus_bikini_04.jpg]

Here are more shots of Miley Cyrus in Miami yesterday that reveal the "Just Breathe" tattoo under her jailbait breast which has set the Internet ablaze because, let's be honest, everyone on this thing is filthy perverts. I don't care if you're shopping for bibles on eBay to feed to orphans, you're really looking at sexy stuff. "But we only got Grandma a computer because she wanted to Google quilts." Sure, she did.

Emma Watson in a bikini

[gallery_main-1130_emma_watson_bikini_06.jpg]

Emma Watson, who is going to Brown University and had publicly started she wants to be out of the public spotlight, went to Jamaica and hung out on the beach in this tiny bikini.

[gallery_main-1130_emma_watson_bikini_04.jpg]

Now, I'm a little confused... not about her conflicting actions, but about why more celebrities can't do this.

[gallery_main-1130_emma_watson_bikini_05.jpg]

I want every chick to be all, "Please, don't take my photo, I'd like my privacy," while sticking out her chest and pushing her boobs together. Really, life is already full of mixed-signals, at least these ones would be fun.

[gallery_main-1130_emma_watson_bikini_07.jpg]

Because perverts make up 98% of The Superficial's traffic - And 110% of the editorial staff. (I have a conjoined twin.)

[gallery_main-1130_emma_watson_bikini_01.jpg]


- here's a bikini-clad Emma Watson in Jamaica this morning. For any young Harry Potter fans accidentally stumbling upon this post, you're probably experiencing strange feelings you've never felt before.


[gallery_main-1130_emma_watson_bikini_03.jpg]

But don't worry, those feelings are perfectly natural and are only going to send you to Hell for a fiery eternity spent wishing you only thought about baseball and free market capitalism.

[gallery_main-1130_emma_watson_bikini_02.jpg]

No biggie.

Microsoft to Offer Paid Media to Leave Google


The competition between Google and Microsoft entered a new round of fighting over media content online. The giant software maker is reportedly planning to pay for any media that would remove all content from Google's search results. Previously Microsoft had took Yahoo to strengthen its search engine business is given the name Bing.

According to sources quoted by AFP, it is being discussed between Microsoft and Rupert Murdoch, a seasoned entrepreneur who has a leading media network News Corp.. The rationale underlying the offer is the search engine providers should not be casually indexing media content without providing compensation.

Previously, Murdoch had asked the plan to delete all the media content from Google's search results within two years. What does Google have been thought harmful for not giving the media a significant compensation of the Google results. Business value derived from Google's search results are also not comparable to the value ditangguk the giant search engine.

Murdoch also argued that the content is not supposed to be free on the Internet and remain in demand. Content from a number of popular media such as the Wall Street Journal will still be paid. It is thought the way that media remain in the online world. This is what he thinks the real impact of war between those who think all online content should be free and not.
