Edgar Oliver - Playwright, author, actor. Edgar’s own plays have been staged in many downtown theatres in New York. His novel, The Man Who Loved Plants, published by Panther Books, is available in bookstores or online at www.goodie.org.

"Edgar Oliver is an enchanted navigator of longing, loss and memory. We follow his path, strung with jewel-like language, to his strange, compelling and unique vision. Enter his oasis of beauty, where we encounter the most sublime essence of art and humanity." – Penny Arcade, writer and international performance star
maya lin sculpture in jersey city's future:
Officials at NJCU knew they wanted a sculpture or piece of art in front of the Visual Arts Building and, after a first round of proposals was rejected, Lin's brother, Tan Lin, an English professor at the school, suggested his sister.
The sculpture itself is a large pane of glass next to a 2-foot cement well. Inscribed in the well are translations of the word "art" in more than 50 different languages, meant to signify the different nationalities represented at NJCU. There is gravel in the well and it is surrounded by five young cherry trees, each with a light under it.

The ultimate arrogance of artists is the belief that they control the meaning of their work, the shape of their career, the pattern of their own biographical narrative -- and their importance in the larger history of art. Composers dismiss their juvenilia from consideration. Novelists decide they're poets, and churn out mediocre verse. Yet very few artists ever exercise any ultimate power over how they're evaluated by posterity. Lin's artistic work will never have the same power to reshape the way we think about art that her monument did to the way we think about memorials. So why minimize the connection between the two?

It was also reported in November that Google was buying shipping containers and building data centres within them, possibly with the aim of using them at significant nodes within the worldwide cable network. "Google hired a pair of very bright industrial designers to figure out how to cram the greatest number of CPUs, the most storage, memory and power support into a 20- or 40-foot box Robert Cringely wrote. "The idea is to plant one of these puppies anywhere Google owns access to fiber, basically turning the entire Internet into a giant processing and storage grid.
