916/2000 I started to write with the pen in my mouth...my wrist is too cramped up...   7:13:22 PM  comment []   iTunes beats radio The Party Shuffle just served up Göran Söllscher playing Bach's Suite in ES-Dur into Jet Society by Cordora Orchestra, from a compilation called Jet Society, into Messaggio by somebody called Lesiman on the Easy Tempo compilation. Brilliant.   5:59:08 PM  comment []   672/2000 Gave my wrist a little break, but am back now...   5:36:14 PM  comment []   Sarcasm, Lesson 2 You've probably heard about the US Department of Energy's efforts to create a landmark to warn people to stay away from nuclear waste dumps in Nevada and New Mexico. The mission is to create some kind of warning system that will last for 10,000 years, and still be effective at delivering a message of danger that people in the distant future can comprehend. It's tough --the DOE has hired artists, architects, anthropologists, etc., but everything those people come up with to scare future generations away ends up looking more like a lure. Here's what the DOE should do: hire Michael Eisner to design a theme park over the radioactive dumps. They'll never have to worry about anyone setting foot there again. As Boing Boing readers Vorbis comments on this photoessay of Disney's California Adventure Theme Park: "lookit how deserted this place seems to be not too long after the opening of the major ride."

Despite long being seen as "almost irrelevant", drawing is a vital part of every creative process, Hockney said. "Drawing has been neglected for the last 30 years in art education," he told reporters on Thursday. "That was based upon the idea that photography would suffice as a view of the world." [BBC News] Yes, indeed it should.   1:01:18 PM  comment []   304/2000 I almost just posted a picture of our 2004 Laminate design...that would have been funny! Yeah, we're with the band, see, here is our laminate, dude! I'm at 304/2000 and am getting a little punchy - swear I haven't touched the Dom - yet....   12:58:45 PM  comment []   2day is the 1st day of the rest of your life... Email from Ken Wilber: we put up the annoucement about the first fully accredited course in integral studies that we will be teaching online this fall through IU/P, and in 8 hours we got 343 responses... That's my emphasis above...This course is accredited by the University of Pennsylvania. And since I have more than one reason to celebrate, I am popping some Dom 2night! Yeah, baby!   11:35:02 AM  comment []   Primal Scream After you open the page click on: Related: Hear the primal scream To me it sounds like Wendy Carlos having fun with a bunch of Moogs twenty years ago. Ever stop to think what a perfect name Robert Moog had...I wouldn't want to play a Smith, or O'Malley, would you? Moog on the other hand sounds perfectly cool and mysterious.
