Eye Test Increase distance from chart until readable via Critical Selection It is great that there are people who find the time to do important work like this.... 9:34:50 PM    comment []; Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes) I have seen him pee on Chevy, Ford, and Dodge on the back of many a pick-up truck....it's about time we see him pee on Marc Jacobs, Channel, even Gucci... 9:14:24 PM    comment []; Executive Laptop Steering Wheel Mount We are in no way endorsing this as a product, but Arkon is selling a laptop mount for car steering wheels... [Gizmodo] I say, take the train or subway or the bus and work on your laptop.....if you drive yourself don't even think about it. 8:54:42 PM    comment []; Atlanta, Pt. 6 8:27:37 PM    comment []; Simple excercise 4 recognizing Big Mind In 1999 Genpo Roshi discovered the Big Mind Process. This method allows anyone who wishes to open their mind to a more universal consciousness to do so in a relatively short amount of time. Individuals or groups are able to do so quite easily without any previous formal Zen training. It is a non-threatening technique which uses the ego instead of trying to destroy it. Genpo Roshi has established a non-profit, non-sectarian organization that brings the Big Mind Process out to the world. I listened to this 36 minute talk on my iPod while walking down Canyon Road this morning. It was amazing. Luckily there weren't many people out to see me laughing and being ridiculously happy. If you want to do one little thing for yourself this holiday season you should subscribe to Integral Naked and download this talk. You can always cancel your subscription in January, but this talk is worth a lot more than the $10 it will cost you for one month - should you decide to cancel in January. This is brilliant....brilliant as in white light clearing the cobwebs out of your mind. Absolutely brilliant! And I also had a great afternoon working on new music in the studio. I enjoyed showing the new Tangos to Jeremy (cotton tech and production assistant on the last tour) who freaked out on it - and it doesn't even have Jon's bass yet. It is always interesting to show a work in progress to a person, because most people cannot at all imagine what it would sound like when finished.....Anyway, back to the talk - Genpo Roshi gets my highest recommendation....you don't have to be a Buddhist to dig this...you can believe in anything you please... 8:22:04 PM    comment []; ACME Products Now you can check the ACME catalogue. I have my eyes on the eathquake pills and the jet propelled pogo stick. [Metapop] Looking for that perfect Christmas gift? 12:06:45 PM    comment []; Never roll over I know you read Boing Boing, so I’m sure you’ll see this, but I thought of you immediately…Cheers! I had not seen this and thanks for sending it. I am glad Ticketmaster stays in the news and kudos to the String Cheese Incident for taking a stand. This is particularly interesting: A part of each service charge is rebated to the promoter or venue, creating a steady income stream invisible to the consumer -- a practice that, according to one recently signed client, is central to Ticketmaster's sales pitch: "We'll take all the heat," the salesman told him, "and you get the money." That is not just invisible to the consumer, but also unknown to most performers. If an artist fills a 2,000 seater and Ticketmaster charges a $4 service charge, the promoter receives an extra $4,000 that he doesn't share with the artist..... 12:00:10 PM    comment [];
