“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Al Qaeda Casio




It seems as if al-Qaeda members were given Casio watches to repurpose as detonators. The F91W to be precise.

I'm reminded of Ian Bogost's less recent post about how some objects after 9/11 revealed an uncanny extra side or two, which in our ignorance and fairly default correlationism we didn't see.
