Serpent Mother Buy-In

June 29th, 2006 10:24am. Art, General

I haven’t told my readers (ie: you) enough about what’s been going on. Here’s a little personal bit about the Serpent Mother project that you won’t fully understand because I haven’t given you context.

I wrote some stuff to a guy interested in our project and then another guy on our project paraphrased what I wrote with…

“lots of good stuff” Hurray! That sounds like buy-in. :-)

A Burning Man Thought… audio recording

June 21st, 2006 4:46pm. General

Hmm, I could make an audio recording of the entire 7 days. At 1 MB a minute, the whole thing, 24 x 7 would only be 10 gigabytes.

Hmm.

But I’d want some video as well. Recording video the whole time would be a big bother though.

Hmmm…

Overheard in my email inbox

June 21st, 2006 10:21am. General, Rants

Me at work:
>> Do you know how I can allow my Windows and Exchange passwords can be
>> different? If not, say so and I’ll go googling for info.

Him:
>I do not know off hand, I would need to research it.

So does that mean he -will- research it or he -could- research it? And why didn’t he take me up on my offer? Maybe he didn’t read my whole (2 sentence long) email.

Overheard in the lunch room

“What is it?”
“It’s an herbal mixture made up by a school teacher who got tired of being sick all the time.”

And yes, that was the full weight of the explanation.

Facts about Jack Bauer

June 18th, 2006 11:10pm. Other Sources

This list of facts about Jack Bauer is terrific. There’s hundreds of ‘em…

If everyone on “24″ followed Jack Bauer’s instructions, it would be called “12″.

If Jack Bauer’s gun jams, it’s because he wanted to beat you with it.

The truth may hurt, but it doesn’t hurt as much as Jack Bauer.

Upon hearing that he was played by Kiefer Sutherland, Jack Bauer killed Sutherland. Jack Bauer gets played by no man.

When someone asks him how his day is going, Jack replies, “Previously, on 24…”

Superman wears Jack Bauer pajamas.

Jack Bauer sleeps with a pillow under his gun.

Lets get one thing straight, the only reason you are conscious right now is because Jack Bauer does not feel like carrying you.

Looking to collaborate on large computer controlled fire art project

June 18th, 2006 3:37am. General

I just posted the following to Craigslist. I suppose as problems go, this is a good one to have.

Looking to collaborate on large computer controlled fire art project

I’m working on a large, funded project for Burning Man. It is going to involve over 30 flame poofers, 100 full color LEDs, and hydraulic animatronics. There are several folks working on getting it all under computer control. I’m working on building the brain, a program that converts user input into a fantastic interactive fire and light art on the playa! I’ve started working with a programming environment called Pure Data. It’s been going well enough but I’d rather work and discover with a friend. Interested? Give me a buzz. There’s no pay, but it’s going to be a blast!

200 Comment Spams per Day

June 12th, 2006 11:41am. Wordpress

I have been getting about 200 comment spams per day for a while now. Spam Karma has stopped 100% of them. 30,000 at last count. I get about 3 “please moderate this comment” notices from Spam Karma per week. So far, all of them have been spams as well.

Spam Karma is good. Thanks Dr Dave. I’ve already put money in his tip jar.

Places to go in England

June 10th, 2006 2:10am. General, Product Reviews

Charlotte and I were thinking of going to England on a trip. Instead she’s moving to San Francisco. I was starting to make a to-go list for our trip. Instead of archiving it on my computer, I’ll archive it on my web host… IE: you get to see it

Amazing airplane

from Trav:

Subject: you must watch this
Video (or)

Local:

I’m actually saddened by this. It’s like realizing that you are currently seeing the best sunset you’ve ever seen in your life and that no other sunset could ever be as spectacular. From that moment on, there is no need or want to ever witness another sunset.
