Thanks for sticking up for my poetry, meg. Actually, any attention is good for my poems...they get so little. ;)
In the CD player this morning: The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, Hipocrisy is the Greatest Luxury.

I hope we're at the end of recycled culture. Because we were at the end of an arbitrary time period, I think culture felt the need to re-experience everything that came before as one last hurrah. That's why 20somethings were swing dancing, rap music was sampling 70's funk, movies were old TV shows, there was a "Woodstock" II, on and on. I hope we finally have the past out of our system. It's time for something new. It's time for something unpredictable, spontaneous.

derek powazek is the mc at panel about weblogs at sxsw interactive (is anyone not going?). since we seem to be good (as a genre) at self-evaluation, criticisim, and congratulations... I wonder what new ground could be covered at a talk like this. so does derek. give your input on this thread on sxswb. I think it's cool that the sxsw folks picked up the groovy weblog vibe and are giving it some time at the conference.

I decided to stop complaining and do something about the parking stress I was experiencing. Today I drove to Larkspur and took the ferry into San Francisco. It was very nice.
