Time Capsule. Slick. I want one.
But it won't solve my problem; a full hard drive on my trusty old Mac iBook. Darn. At Macworld Expo 2008 Steve Jobs introduced Apple's new Time Capsule automatic backup system which combines a large hard drive with a WiFi base station. Slick. This and OS X Leopard's new Time Machine feature makes backups automatic and effortless. Just what I need - effortless. I know, it's not a lot of effort to get out the portable drive and plug it in, but do I do it often enough? No. Time Machine has made it so much simpler to back up that I'm better at it but still not diligent enough. Gotta work on that diligence thing. But I want a Time Capsule. And a slick MacBook Air would be nice too. Dream on John....

A Theory of the State
States have a peculiar dual character. They are at the same time forms of institutionalized raiding or extortion, and utopian projects. The first certainly reflects the way states are actually experienced, by any communities that retain some degree of autonomy; the second however is how they tend to appear in the written record.
