About Owl Tattoos
While I am still hesitating on my year-long-waiting Owl Tattoo.
I found a blog called Owl Tattoos
from a blow called We Hate Your Blog (Owl Tattoos).
Well,
this is interesting.
I found the blog with hundreds of owl tattoo patten/pictures,
at the same time finding out the reasons why people hate owl tattoos.
To do or not to do, this is the question.

Books as Objects
Deckle Edge in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction
By C. Max Magee February 5, 2010
One might think that physical books are on the verge of extinction, given all the consternation over ebooks of late. There’s a faction in this debate that predicts that physical books will become something of a rarity as the ebook market matures and the technologies involved become ubiquitous.
In a sleek, shiny, distant future, books may feel old and impossibly large, with too much physical mass and all these fussy pages put to use for the simple task of storing a tiny amount of data, data that is not searchable or copy and pasteable or malleable and interactive in the ways we expect of our data. These devices, one imagines, might seem incredibly blunt to our future selves, unitaskers in world where our gadgets and machines can do all.
