It's here. It's hooked up. It's fast as hell. (oh yea...and so damned quiet too) It's also huge, and heavy, gorgeous, amazingly well designed and built - even for Apple - you wonder how they can possibly outdo themselves, and then they always do.  SEE IT BIG!!! and sideways too and, yea, that's a Spongebob mousepad addendum - Now I need to figure out what to do with the B&W G4. Posted at 3:30 PM |

And some more... Absolutely Ridiculous English Spelling! Posted at 11:42 AM |
|
Tough Though Thought, the case for simplified spelling I like it...I dunno if I agree with all of it, tho. :) I do agree that we are far too stuck on conventions that in many cases don't make sense, were done for strange reasons, or what have you. Languages change, face it. They change because the users of the language change them over time - that is our right as users of the language. If enuf of us use a new convention, it becomes a part of the everyday language. Afterall, why do we have language? To communicate - not to need to worry about why tough and Laugh are pronounced tuff and laff, but though and through are pronounced tho and thru, not thuff and throff. okay...rant over :) ps - language pet peave of the day...why do we apply with an applicator, or in the case of a job on an application, but there is no verb 'to applicate'? wtf?

Domain Guru Great resource discovered. I needed a definition just now - you know, one of those terms that you just know what it means, but trying to pass that on in a nice Webster's like package is tough? - so plugged it into Google, and this place popped up. No clue if their services are any good...but their FAQ seems to be. BTW - that reminds me...if you don't already use them, try out whois.net...amazing keyword domain searches. Yea, they're run by Verio...just try to ignore that tho, okay? Posted at 11:18 AM |

Like words? The English language? Using them, and it, correctly? (dammit!?) I give you The Vocabula Review While you might not have guessed it by the way I usually write, I am actualy a stickler for proper usage of the English language...at least some of the time. Okay, okay...a small "some" of the time. I was link surfing, looking at a book by John McWhorter that I want to get, and ended up clicking over to this one by Robert Fiske which of course led me to his website, vocabula.com. Very interesting stuff. Not just a fluffy "word of the day" kind of place, in their own words, "In sum, TVR battles nonstandard, careless English and embraces clear, expressive English. We hope we can encourage our readers to do as much." You need to subscribe to get to the good stuff, but it's only $8.95 per year, and if you purchase a "special offer book" they'll throw in a subscription. BTW - For all of you who have ever disparaged me for my use of the word "they" as a genderless singular pronoun...go get hosed (and you all know just who you are too). Turns out to have been used, and yes, correctly, as far back as the year 1300. Posted at 9:42 AM |

Skully - N o W h e r e R a d i o . c o m In my constant selfless vigil, quest, bloody struggle for music not shilled by the mega giant record companies I often find very cool places with very cool independent artists, and stumble onto little gems like this one....a one in a million find...and my selfless toil finally pays off. Or, as is more often the case, an old friend who happens to be one of those artists emails me a link. Like the one above. Thanks Todd. Posted at 1:40 PM |

Worlds first 64 bit cheese grater But guess what? My new cheese grater will kick all y'all's elses cheese graters, biatch!! Unless you bought one of the higher models, then I stand corrected. It's not here yet (drool drool) but they tell me it shipped out last week. I got to thinking that this is possibly the first brand new, factory fresh Apple computer I have ever bought for me. I have purchased from the old MUG store (a 7100/66 for $1800 (YES! when it was the then state of the art, not last month, har har har, aren't you funny?)) and I have purchased hand me downs, like the B&W I bought from Scarabic, and I have overseen purchases of iMacs for parents and in-laws, and of course hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Apple purchases for various employers. The big question is...will I get it pinstriped? Is a bear catholic? Does the pope shit in the woods? HELL YEA IT'S GETTING PINSTRIPED! To see what that means (for themz that don't know) go here. Oh...by the way...if yer wondering if I give a flying rats ass that you might think it looks like a cheese grater - I do not. It could look like a frigging waffle iron for all I care.

JACK THE PELICAN PRESENTS | David Shapiro So Mr. Scarabic (aka The Naiminator) and I spar back and forth about art. Nothing too deep, nothing too serious. Anyway, he sent me this link, either to further deride a project I am about to start, or possibly as encouragement to pitch it to the MOMA...who knows which. :-D My project is not to a place where I can disclose it...but follow the link because David Shapiro's is. btw - dont ask Posted at 10:23 AM |

ENT News | News: Ballmer: Open Source is Not Trustworthy Can you spell asshole? Wow - two Ballmer posts in one week...ay yi yi All I will say is that: If Linux is such a non starter, why are the M$ guys still talking about it to this day? And if commercial software (read M$ software) is so secure, why the continual "we promise to do better" initiatives while we continue to lose $billions in productivity from every newly found exploit - and there seems to be new ones every week or two - but then they never really do any better.

(addendum - I just saw Andy has a post about it too...Maniahill.com) The Norcal Ren Faire is dead... I don't plan to rub salt in anyone's wounds, because I know this is a big loss to a lot of people...a loss of family, community, the end of an era really...but I feel compelled to talk about its demise, and why I stopped going years ago. My first trip to the Ren Faire, at its Novato site, was probably the Faire's 3rd or 4th year...who knows? I may have been at the first one, but I don't remember that far back. I remember it being very interesting, and fun. I occasionally returned, a year here and a year there, but then stopped at some point...don't remember why. After college my friend Raybo got some tickets and asked if I wanted to go...I said sure, why not? So I went. I'm not sure if I changed markedly, or if the Faire did, or maybe both. I was not prepared for the medieval/renaissance shopping mall gauntlet I had to walk thru to get to the "spend your money on these here games of skill" gauntlet which I had to walk thru to get to the "spend $12 on a turkey leg and some ale" gauntlet, which I had to walk thru to get to the "spend some money on these other games" gauntlet, and end up at the place to spend money on juggling sticks, and ala carte beads and leather cords, and whatever else. I also wasn't prepared for the barely masked seething disdain I could see the Ren Faire folks held for me and every other "Mundane" who dared buy a ticket and set foot into their little party. Before you ask, no I didn't show up in sports team garb, or a "show me your tits" T-shirt, or other such outfit...I was dressed casually and comfortably, for a day strolling in the woods, but not in period clothing...reliving the renaissance was not my scene, and I don't own any puffy shirts. Nor did my partner at the time own any bodices, or chainmail bikinis. But we liked the concept of being allowed to visit a recreation of it. As it turned out, I hated it. I felt ripped off. I felt very unwelcome. I felt my childhood memories of the Faire were either dead wrong, or had somehow been betrayed by the current goings on at the Faire. Trouble is, Raybo kept getting us tickets, and I kept going back. I'd step thru the gate, look around, and with a feeling as sharp and sudden as a cold bucket of water being thrown on me, I'd say "what-in-the-fuck-am-I-doing-here-AGAIN???" It seemed that a year away from it would erase the illness that Faire had implanted in me. I can't remember exactly how many times I went back...I suppose I was trying to recapture, or at least partially validate those childhood memories. Or maybe I just kept thinking that it "had to be me...it's just me...everyone else seems to like it" So fast-forward several years, to August 1999, I finally got our ducks in a row and we headed up to Burning Man, in the Black Rock Desert. Me, Stacy, and just barely one year old Sydney. It was amazing...it reheated that same feeling as those childhood memories I had from Ren Faire...but it was sooooo much more. Art, music, lights, diversity (of some kinds, anyway). We went up there "mundanes" as the Rennies call such people...but we were welcomed in with outstretched arms. We made fast friends with perfect strangers. We shared stories, and food, and drink, and helped each other out. We felt a little out of place, but it didn't matter. I was so taken by this community...a community without hierarchy among the participants (try finding that behind the scenes at Ren Faire) and with a welcoming, all inclusive feeling, that I was determined to come back the next year and repay this community with a gift. A gift I could provide ably, and that was badly needed in Black Rock City. That was the start of BYB, our bicycle repair camp at Burning Man, and we have been fixing bikes there ever since. For the most part there's no dress code at Burning Man. No us versus them. No insider versus outsider. No "you're new here so you have to do what I say" from fellow participants. And thank whoever....nothing for sale (aside from Ice and coffee, the proceeds of which return to the surrounding communities) No food stands, no overpriced trinkets, no archery booth, etc. On the way home in 1999 we passed the Nut Tree in Vacaville. There were big banners up for the Ren Faire being held there that year. I can remember like it was yesterday, the feeling that washed over me as we passed. I realized that I had found a beautiful community that wanted me, needed me, welcomed me (and the feeling was mutual)...and I would never have to go back to Ren Faire again. And it felt really good. BTW - go take this quiz - http://www.shades-of-night.com/larp/fairnerd.html Posted at 9:40 AM |

Jury Doody Redux.... Well...I survived. The good - someone at Jury Services must read my blog. There is a secure outdoor seating area now, places to plug in your laptop, and a little espresso kiosk in the secure area. Sitting in the fresh air, reading, and sipping an iced latte makes the whole thing seem that much more tolerable. The bad - 9:30AM the court building gets a bomb threat, so we all have to evacuate and walk up the hill a couple blocks. Then after a thorough 15 minute search of the building, we are allowed back in. But of course everyone going in must now pass thru airport style security, so all 100+ of us get in line and wait. All tolled, from getting out, to getting back in - 45 minutes. The strange - 11AM, half of us are named off, told to go to lunch, and to return at 1:15PM to get our court assignment. 1:20PM we are all called in, and told that our case was settled while we were at lunch - check out as you leave and get outta here. The ugly - a day away from my office means that much more to deal with when I get back. $2.75, in the form of a check, will be on its way to me in 60-90 days for my mileage. And I didn't get to even get close to being on a jury. Can there not be a better way to do this? I am thankful for that espresso kiosk tho :-) ps - best line of the day - a woman waited in line at the kiosk. A sherriff's dept officer shouted, "LET'S GO!! BOMB THREAT!! WE HAVE TO EVACUATE!!!" Woman in line says, "can't I just get my coffee first?" Ahhh, coffee...good to the last kaboom....... Posted at 2:23 PM |

Ballmer lays out Windows security plan : "Speaking at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference, Ballmer said he believes there will be as much innovation in the next 10 years as there was in the last 10 years." OOH - really? I think what he meant is that there will be just as much innovation out there for them to crush, suppress, or buy out, as ever. But high-tech innovation is being hampered by pressure to focus enormous amounts of attention on security issues, he said. No - my lack of ulcer is being hampered by your crappy-assed software. High-tech innovation is being hampered by you. Oh, you meant MS' high-tech innovation. I guess that might be true because all your monkeys-at-keyboards writing patches could be doing other work. Like looking for great ideas to steal or squash outside MS. Ballmer acknowledged that the quality of Microsoft patches and the patching process itself is inconsistent, and he said that customers need best practices for patch management because they're simply overwhelmed with the sheer number of vulnerabilities in their systems." You mean YOUR systems, dontcha Steve? The systems you sold me? The systems I need MCSEs to work on? The systems we buy because you've brainwashed all the PHBs in the world...DONTCHA STEVE???? Isn't that what you really meant Steve? And "inconsistent?" I find the whole process to be pretty consistent...or is that constant? Maybe persistent? Do I sound bitter? How much has their crappy security cost all of us already? How many times have they said they'd make it better? Why should we believe them this time? I, for one, don't think I can. What are people gonna do if they don't? Stop using Windows? Of course they won't...that'd make too much sense. Once bitten, twice shy? As far as MS is concerned, I feel like shark bait.

JURY DOODY Pigdog Journal (Brain-Dead Judge Watch) -- Do-It-Yourself Legal System and Twelve People Who Cannot Get Out of Jury Duty Are Not My Peers Two semi-opposing views on what I am called on to do this Thursday. Actually what I am called on to do is to phone the court the night before to see if my group has to come in. I've never personally seen a group not have to. Then I'll go downtown and have to track down one of the 7 legal parking spots, all of which will be gone by 6AM. After finding parking - amazing how many places I CAN'T LEGALLY FUCKING PARK WHEN CALLED UPON TO DO MY CIVIC DUTY, AIN'T IT??? - I'll make my way to the sweat box, er, jury waiting area. Here is where a couple hundred folks get to sit and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait...then it's lunch time, woohoo! After lunch we get to go back to our lovely little county building hovel and wait, and wait, and wait...sensing a theme here? Now here is where it gets very ugly. If they don't assign you to a courtroom by the end of the day, they have to let you go...time served...go home...thanks for coming. But what they'll do instead is drag X number of us up to a courtroom at 4:30PM. No case there. No judge. No lawyers. No witnesses. No bad guys. No stenographers. What this means is that we are assigned to a courtroom, and what that means is that we get to come back the following day, to sit, and wait, and wait, and wait. Does anyone at the court really wonder why people get so pissed off about jury duty? Treat us a little more like people. At the very least, set aside enough parking places so we can all park without having to walk 1/2 mile to the courthouse, without fear of getting a ticket, or our car towed. Don't play games with us. Assign us to a court with a case, or don't. Inconvienience the lawyers for once by making them wait for _us_ for a tiny bit - by calling us when you really need us. What we are is a nameless, faceless pool of cattle, just to keep waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting at the ready in case something happens. And more often than not, nothing does. Don't have us call in to your automated system to find out yes, or no, or that we should call back mid-day the next day, or maybe not. Tell us to come in on a particular day. We'll come in for that day. Select us for a jury, or set us free. Simple enough. Next day have another pool coming in, and the next day another. For christ's sake, I know it's government work, but that doesn't mean it can't be done a tiny bit better. Anyway, I'll be there this Thursday, and maybe Friday, and who knows...maybe into next week...waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting.............X-( Posted at 9:25 PM |

VH1's ILL-ustrated : Main Page Camp Chaos - the twisted freaks behind the cartoons OMG let me repeat O! M! G! I'm watching VH1's Ill-ustrated as I type this. Way funny...way sick...way smart. The VH1 website doesn't give you much to go on, but it does tell you when it wil be on again. Don't get VH1? Ask your friends with Tivo to record it for you. Go watch the online clips at both sites, in any case. Highlights: Anna Nicole Smith and David Lee Roth on a date...'nuf said there Michael Stipe, Ja Rule, and Bjork on a game show playing for charity - says J.R., "I'm playing for breast cancer...cuz I don't wanna see none of them titties gettin' cancer" Christina Aguillera hosting a talk show concerning white girls trying to steal her man - says C.A., "Bitch, why you all up in my stank?!?!" Michael Jackson's face flying off during the filming of a video...yea, an easy target, but funny nonetheless Michael Jackson driving a taxi in "Michael Jackson's Taxi Cab Confessions" - and Robert Blake is his passenger Moby vs. Eminem in a comic book style showdown Maybe you had to be there...so be there Posted at 8:25 PM |

Microcinema International - Short Films Distribution and Alternative Venue Database I just stumbled onto these folks, based here in the SF Bay Area. They show short films, sell short films, promote short films..not sure what else one could do with a short film (aside from actually making it) Microcinema International Mission Microcinema's mission is to curate, exhibit, distribute and promote a new era of emerging and innovative international moving image artists whose deeply personal and culturally relevant works are typically marginalized by the mainstream entertainment industry. So there, mainstream industry!!! Posted at 8:07 PM |

shameless plug department: I just added another link to the "important stuff" sidebar here at CTP'sRI. Bookfinder. Bookfinder rocks. Go do a search on a title or author, pick something obscure, long out of print, or just ridiculous and I'll bet it'll turn up in the results. You get to see who's selling the book you want, contact them, and buy it directly. I have seen books on there, the exact same book mind you, priced from 5 dollars to 150 dollars. I tend to buy the 5 dollar versions. I buy a ton of books, but I don't buy many (even new titles) without checking bookfinder first. I have even made all of the book links at KineticWorld.com link directly to Bookfinder searches. Oops...was that another plug? Oh, yea, and Bookfinder is free to use. And, no, they didn't pay me to say this. :) Posted at 3:45 PM |

The Excorporation of Elite Culture in Happy Gilmore Okay...so some of you know I'm a domain name junky. I can't help myself. I just registered another one - I had tried to get it before, a couple years ago, but it was taken. Come to think of it this is the second domain I have gotten that way...someone let it lapse, or just plain gave it up. Right place, right time. Anyway, so why the link above? Well, I registered excorporation.com. What is excorporation? Well, the link above helps to explain it, in a way anyway. I've never seen Happy Gilmore, so I dunno if I agree with the application of the word in that context, but it appears to be a well written piece, so I'll give the benefit of the doubt. What do I think excorporation is? That's kind of a broad subject for this little old blog...maybe there will be more about that at http://www.excorporation.com someday. And maybe someday I'll post a list of all of my domain names...someday someday. Posted at 12:57 PM |

A Funny Joke Another homegrown Redmeat comic...made me fall out of my chair, this one... Wasn't this from a movie? Posted at 11:51 PM |

So there's this comic strip called Redmeat...you may have heard of it. Seems one either loves it to death or is completely repulsed by it. Well, for those who love it there is a place where you can write your own Redmeat comic...yes, a title, 2 characters, 3 panels, up to 6 word bubbles. Consider it a form of graphical haiku for the sick and twisted. Well, anyway, Andy turned me onto it, and we have been creating a few of them that are snippets of conversations from the playa...some real, some imagined...all burning man worthy. So go on...go look...you'll probably laff a lot. 40101, 40105, 40107, 40149, 40280, 40283, 40288 ps - if you make any playaish redmeats, please let me know and we'll add them to the list. Posted at 11:06 PM |

Scott Kildall (remember the plane crash on the playa in 2001, the flaming octopus car on the playa in 2002, and the 8 bicycle pulled oil derrick trailers this past year?) Yea, that Scott. It's an art show. Go look: Current Shows Ought to be a lot of great stuff. Posted at 3:40 PM |

Art 2003-: Tube Map with Walklines This is stark raving brilliant...trust me, I lived there. The map of the London Underground is an icon, and with good reason (that I won't go into...trust me, it is) but because of the brilliance and simplicity with which it is drawn it has a couple problems - the biggest being that a few stations which appear far apart on the tube map are actually quite close to one another (and vice-versa). The link above is to a map which has all of those "walklines" placed into it...brilliant! There are other brilliant things to look at on the page once you are there, so poke around.

Quick news flash posting: 1) BYOBW is hit 1, 4, and many more on Google. 2) people are downloading it like crazy...I may have to cut folks off part way thru the month to spare the bandwidth. 3) not one stranger has emailed me...no hate mail, no fan mail, no cease and desists, no spam...nuthin'. Seems odd. I suppose no news could be good news. 4) I have started assembling the music I will use to replace the unlicensed stuff in the current cut. Once I recut it I will be selling copies for a very nominal fee (just to help keep things rolling...like the next project). ttyl ctp ps - anyone know anyone connected with Massive Attack??? email me!

Andy sent me a link to a website called Creative Commons, http://creativecommons.org/, after posting my plea for music it seems what I asked for is already out there (as is often the case with this here newfangled web thang). A library of music that I don't have to worry about licenses and lawyers when I draw from it. Very very very cool. Here is the gist: All sound files in the pool are released under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license (a copyleft license similar to those used in the free and open source software communities) or placed in the public domain. This means you are free (and encouraged) to download works, make copies, share them, include them in other works, remix and rearrange them, and even sell them. The Attribution-ShareAlike license requires only that you attribute the works to their original authors/musicians (attribution), and that any derivative works (anything you make using the sound files) be licensed under the same license (share alike). Works placed in the public domain are free from any copyright restrictions, and you may do whatever you like with them. Posted at 10:12 AM |

Many have heard, but for those who haven't, my latest movie is done and available - B Y O B W - you can download it from here. It's 25 Megs, so be on a fast connection :) So, speaking of movies...I need music. I can't afford to pay licensing fees for commercial music, and consequently I can't show my stuff anywhere legally, so I need original music, and this is where y'all come in. Do you know anyone who records their own music? Some of my friends are coming thru with their own compositions, and are spreading the word far and wide. What I want to do is build up a library, as big as I can make it, of music I can use without fear of lawyers. I am working on a contract that I can give the artists, which will include a "step deal" whereby if I ever make any money on any movie some of it will get back to the artists. If you do know anyone, or know anyone who knows anyone, please pass this along...and have them email films@recursiveirony.com Thanks in advance! CTP Posted at 9:56 AM |
