An update: The Western Horseman web site now includes an exclusive slide show on Ray Hunt’s influence. Buck Brannaman, Joe Wolter, Bryan Neubert and Tom Curtin offer commentary. The show includes some of the definitive images of Ray at work with horses and students. Participating photographers included Julie Baldocchi, W.T. Bruce, Robert Dawson, Heather Hafleigh and Emily Kitching. The show was produced by Western Horseman Associate Editor Melissa Cassutt.

Den amerikanske affärskonsulten Robert Dawson har gjort en tidslinje fråmåt i tiden. Enligt honom försvinner biblioteken några år efter det att pensionerna upphör (2016) och precis året innan copyrighten försvinner.

I en kommentar om biblioteksarkitektur i nätttidskriften Slate säger Witold Rybczynski (glöm inte att titta på bildevisningen över bibliotek i google-åldern):

“He’s probably right as far as the function of the library as a civic monument, or as a public repository for books, is concerned. On the other hand, in its mutating role as urban hangout, meeting place, and arbiter of information, the public library seems far from spent. This has less to do with the digital world—or the digital word—than with the age-old need for human contact.”

Update: Not a day passes that this page isn’t visited by someone searching for the name of a person on the list below. As I suggested here in a more recent post, if you knew one of these people I encourage you to take a minute and leave a memorial comment. Be a part of the dialogue of remembrance.

Silence is Violence will mark the one-year anniversary of the New Orleans March on Crime with a press conference at noon today, Jan. 11 2008, on the steps of City Hall, and an evening concert at the Howlin’ Wolf.

Blogger md filter (formerly da po boy), who tracks issues around crime, lists those who died in needlessly in violence in 2007. The list is below.

Remember. Silence is Violence.
