We Are Mutants

The lovely Google theme I use, NOUS, designed by Philippe Starck, described as "Vision, subversion, rébellion, humour, amour sont les seuls paramètres structurellement modernes," with colorful changing messages: "WE MUST SHARE," "HUMOUR AMOUR," and the Boing Boing friendly "WE ARE MUTANTS."

That is our poetry. That is our beautiful story. It's our romanticism: Mutation. We are mutants. And if we don't deeply understand, if we don't integrate that we are mutants, we completely miss the story.

NOUS.

In 2002, I bought a pistachio ice cream half-malted and the pretty young girl at the counter smiled beatifically and said "God Loves Change".

I still don't know if she was commenting on my hybrid car, mohawk hairstyle, Buchanan/Farrakan T-shirt, and choice of beverage, sharing a deep insight with the world, or just cadging for a tip. Sometimes I wish I'd asked.

It's nice to see the Reverse Cowgirl back on top, I always miss her when she disappears.

Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but Mutability.

I think I get what a mutant is, but what's a google theme?

Damn BeanOlini, thanks. One always wonders what a link will bring, like opening a gift from an unknown relative.
