one morning there was a rooster in the yard. I thought he belonged to the neighbors (they have chickens). Nope, he wasn't theirs. He hung around for a few days. I don't know what happened to the rooster. I have this picture...
words of the day:
interstice - a : a space that intervenes between things; especially : one between closely spaced things b : a gap or break in something generally continuous
interstitial - relating to or situated in the interstices
It seems that interstitial may be turning into another word for a flash-based "commercial" on the web....but no one wants to say the dreaded "c" word. so we have this monster. Try a search on google for interstitial, and you'll see what I mean. The promise of high bandwidth brings the promise of your favorite website interrupted every 15 minutes by a heavily branded flash animation. *shudder*
ack! just when the little stand by my bed was down to three books, I add a bunch more. Here are some new ones in the queue:
- Jihad Vs. McWorld by Barber & Schulz
- The Lexus and the Olive Tree by Freidman [thanks craig]
- No Logo by Klein
- Remedios Varo by Kaplan [thanks caterina]
- A Year With Swollen Appendices by Eno [thanks ev]
I used to write poems
about nothing
but poems.
about nothing
but poems.
maybe that was my first experience with what buddhists call a koan. maybe it was just confusion...but in a good way, if you know what I mean.
I'm currently reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig and was surprised to find one of my favorite questions in there. I first heard this question in a socialist literature class in college. I'm not sure in what context it was brought up. Anyway, this one question kept me up at night for a while trying to put things together for myself: Did Newton discover the laws of physics or invent them?
meg translated the descriptions that go along with the clips.
Beto's PyrAdventures: Encuentros cercanos del tercer tipo con los Pyratas de Blogger. Fun home movies! I like the phrase Pyratas de Blogger. Thanks, Beto! (The only relics I could find from Beto's trip are these two photos from meg's cam.)
Matt pointed out this interview with Dave Eggers. It's great. I love his answer to the question about "keeping shit real". I've always wondered what that means. I think Eggers nails it: fashion.
for those about to rock...
