The Web Means the End of Forgetting - NYTimes.com I read a lot of these stories. Might the pendulum not swing back the other way? It stands to reason that, if everyone has embarrassing background information online, and employers simply can’t hire people who have embarrassing background information online, employers are going to be sunk pretty quickly. Nobody wants all their secrets out, but likewise, few people understand the full implications of self-publishing when they start. And they’re starting younger. More secrets isn’t a good thing, but if employers understand that we’re all humans, with embarrassing human pasts, we’d all be better off. |

The work whistle sounds at 10:00am and we go until night and then another manful 6 hours on Saturday. If we don’t come out of this with at least 10 new songs basic-tracked (most of them Kevin’s, one of them good), I’ll eat the same fictional hat I trot every time I make these proclamations.

Loxian is an artistic language and alphabet created by writer and lyricist Roma Ryan for Enya’s 2005 album Amarantine. The language is featured in three songs on the album (Less than a Pearl, The River Sings, and Water Shows the Hidden Heart). The term apparently derives from the Greek Loxos, meaning oblique.
Ryan created the language when she found herself unable to create satisfactory lyrics in English, Irish or Latin for some of Enya’s songs. She came up with the idea after having worked with Tolkien’s fictional Elvish languages while writing lyrics in these languages for one of Enya’s tracks, recorded for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack in 2001.
