Speed Wiring the Back Country Bringing the Web into the woods. (3/19) Conference Calls Aristotle enters the fray. (3/19) Survey Says! Be kind, unwind. (3/19) Ask the Idler! You too can be a high-level loafer! Join us in the SPEED Conference! People today live and work at a frenzied pace which would have been unimaginable even a generation ago. This March, as the Politics & Community section tackles the subject of SPEED, we invite you to join us in a wide-ranging discussion of why we live and work so fast, the pros and cons of revved-up technology, strategies for slowing down, and the Big Question: What is the purpose of leisure? From the "Life in the Slow Lane" Topic I was standing in an airport when a young "fast track" type rushed up and asked an old farmer if he knew the time. The old fellow answered "well, the ground is beginning to thaw and the wind is beginning to blow — so it is probably about half past March." I decided that my time scale needs recalibrating. member idspud Political Playbook Don't know who represents you in Congress? Find out here, and then e-mail them about whatever's on your mind!
