The Virgin Mary, Star Trek, and a Donkey's Book
I wouldn't know a Van Gogh from a misguided painted hole in the
wall. Newlyframed. Art simply is not on my individual radar. Yet,
in an odd twist of turns, my atten-tion to the news was directed to
a recent discovery in a museum basement. This summer a17th century
painting by the famed Diego Velazquez made the news because it was
rediscov-ered in storage at the Yale University of Art Gallery
[don't worry. I had to look up Ve-lazquez in my art history book].
Even though I enjoy the good treasure hunt, it was the title
of the work that actually tweaked my interest: The Education of
the Virgin. Though cura-tors and art historians argued style,
pigmentation, and authenticity, its the subtle that isworth a note:
the badly damaged painting [is] of the Virgin Mary and her
mother....Looking at the image, the typical dark baroque style of
the young Mary and her mother,together fingering lines in a book.
But here is the nub. There were no 'books' back then.Still, I
printed off a copy of the painting which now hangs in my home
office.
My bookish rants should be directed elsewhere. I remember the
one cause in sup-port for the computer was for a paperless society.
That through the transmission of digitaldata we could save a few
trees. Wrong. If our culture is interested in saving the
westernhemisphere forests, this could easily be managed by
eliminating the box full of fliers fromSears and others in my
postal box.
What computers, more specifically, the Internet, does for all is
the access to infor-mation and admittedly biased, for accessing
difficult to find books. There are several web-
sites that contain the re-typed text, all done by volunteers, of
books that are no longer inprint; and they are free. Though the
Internet has taken on excessive entertainment valueinstead of the
support for enlightenment and the transmission of ideas,
downloading booksillustrates how this worldly resource can be
positively used.
But reading books (or anything of moderate length) on a computer
screen? Or onthose new fangled electronic coasters called e-readers
where newspapers and books can beread? Maybe this generation who
were soothed and coddled on computer screens; to me,this is not
reading. To me, this is a digital distraction that is sacrilege to
the book as a read-ing vessel, as a cultural vessel for gaining
personal enlightenment that has existed for centu-ries. Am I trying
to make hay out of a pile manure? What does the futuristic medium
likeStar Trek say?
Stardate 2947.3. Captain James T. Kirk is erroneously court
martialed. [Why I
remember this would be akin to resolving all the unknowns in
brain function. HOW is an-other matter. Thanks to a quick call to
Wes Long, and a easy search by Jeff Robertson, allwas regained.]
The scene is in Kirks quarters; waiting is Samuel T. Cogley,
attorney at law,there to offer his services. Kirk notices all the
books stacked haphazardly around the roomand says What's all this?

pg. 1 The Virgin Mary
I figured we'll be spending some time together, so I moved in.
Cogley, picking up onKirks apparent unfamiliarity with so many
alien objects asks What's the matter? Don't likebooks?. Kirk: I
like them fine, but a computer takes less space (that same old
argument).Pointing to his piles of books This is where the law is.
Not in that homogenized, pasteur-ized, synthesizer. Do you want to
know the law, the ancient concepts in their own language.
Learn the intent of the men [gender bias here] who wrote them,
from Moses to the tribunal ofAlpha 3? Books. So Kirk may not have
been a friend of the book, but the producers of theshow saw what
the argument would be decades later.
And despite the philanthropic attempts to put a computer in the
hands of every poorchild, here comes Luis Soriano, riding his
stubborn donkey through the paths and dirt roadsof Columbia, packed
full of books. A virtual biblioburro. As a primary school teacher,
hisfree time is spent trying to reach children in the nearly
abandoned regions providing a read-ing education. In some places
children must walk up to 40 minutes to reach a school, in acountry
where teachers are few in the country side. Soriano has been doing
this for 17 years.Every Wednesday and Saturday he leaves his family
with Alfa and Beto, his donkeys packedwith books. More than 4000
children have been reached with his teaching and reading. Ser-vices
which are now enhanced by a free library built next to his home,
the largest of its kindin the area with 4200 books (by traditional
library standards, a mere pittance). Take thatcomputers, in a final
swipe against modernism. Take that Bill Gates and all those dot
com-mers. The book still and always will rule, even if it is on the
back of an ass.TTT
The Washington Post Mensa Invitational invited readers to take
any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtractingor
changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are a few of
the winners:
Cashtration: The act of buying a house, which renders the
subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.
Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts
until you realize that it was your money to start with.
Decafalon: The gruelling event of getting through the day
consuming only things that are good for you.
Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter
when they come at you rapidly.
Broncitis: pathological fear of horses.
Karmaggedon: its like when everybody is sending off these really
bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and itslike a
serious bummer.
