Oh, here’s another one:

I’m not employed anymore!

It just didn’t work out.
What a beautiful day to be at home in Whippleworld.

I might look for another job after a while, so if you have any leads please let me know.

I talked to Glenn and Mitch today about the house concert series we have been wanting to see get started. There are several already in San Antonio but there needs to be more for them to be a network of new opportunities for singer/songwriters to reach new people. Had a couple of emails back and forth with our good friend Brunella Bruni, it would be great to see her get involved. Our friends Parke and Donna Hedges are going to host the first one, they have a big place with a giant yard. And a really cool tree house. And a long, wild zip line. Mark down the afternoon of Sunday, March 5th on your calendar. Mitch is going to play and Glenn said they will (unless it’s baby time). We’ll post more details as we make them up.

I was looking on that page of steam age high tech drawings and photos and saw this magazine cover. Electrical Experimenter, pretty cool. It’d be like us going to the news stand today for a copy of Cold Fusion Experimenter. Does that gyro weapon look just like the ones in Star Wars or what? If they’d built that as the amateur electrical experimenters suggested, it would have rolled right over the trenches in WWI. Or….. fallen over after twenty feet. One or the other.

This is pretty darn funny.

On the way to Austin, Dad, for some unknown reason, made us stop at Cabella’s Fishing Stuff Store.

The convention this year was 6 times bigger than when I went to it last year. This was a better hotel and we took up all of levels 2 and 3.

Every year, somebody dresses up like a box of Pocky. Pocky is a chocolate covered, chop stick shaped biscuit that is popular in Japan.

The eyes on this guy glowed.

We could see all the famous buildings of downtown Austin from the Marriott. This is the Batman Building.

Costumes were great.

This is a battle scene from the popular game “Kingdom Hearts”.

This is some of the stuff I brought back. Amazing what 50 dollars can get you.

Maybe the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Jimmie is the one that finds this stuff - I get it in emails from her. This is along the lines of the robot art… only these are toys, some with remote control but all with FIRE. What’s not to love about that? Makes you realize that robots don’t need computer chips to be badass, they need FIRE.
Dig in there, there’s some movies. Here’s one. Here’s another. And don’t miss this one. There’s tons of others.

What Teachers Make

I love this poem. There’s another one of his in the iPod. It’s great!

On the Road Again…more efficiently.

This is my best movie that I’ve made so far with the program “The Movies”. I made a sequel and a third one but they were just random scenes put together because I needed money for my studio lot in the game. I am going to make a real Communists With Bazookas 2! unlike my first Communists With Bazookas 2! that ends with a mime shooting people with a machine gun which has NOTHING TO DO WITH ZOMBIES WHATSOEVER! And the third one, I don’t even want to talk about that one. I shun it. Here’s the link to watch my movie. It got 5 stars by two on the “The Movies” website where it is showing now.

“Could Wal-Mart become a label? Absolutely,” said Neal Spielberg, a former Nashville sales chief for Warner Bros. Records.

Everybody knows about this deal, but the news now is that it has really worked well. They sold a million units of Garth Brooks muli-disc complilation in 15 days. For a $25 box, which are hard to move, that’s something Capitol might not have been able to do with CDs in all the country’s record racks. So, the update is “look out, labels”. Last year the industry said it wasn’t worried, that it wouldn’t work because Wal-Mart can’t do radio promo. Brooks hired somebody to do it. Anyway, here’s the story from Thursday’s Los Angeles Times.

Wal-Mart now sells 50% of all country music CDs sold in America.

Today was my last day working for HomeDepot.com.
Hoooooooo-ray.
Monday I start training with Home Depot Supply.
EEEEEE-Haw!

Have a fabulous day, Mom!!!!!!

Looking around at all our junk, I noticed we didn’t have an “International Land Yacht”.

Look where I’ve been.

Thank you so much Maggie and Tunji for the dinner treat and showing my tutor and I around where we stayed. Our stay wouldn’t have been such a pleasant one without your help.

It’s really nice to have met them in Hong Kong. Thanks John too, for inviting me to be a part of such a big blog full of friendly and loving people.

Well, looking forward to seeing you guys in Singapore/Malaysia soon!

More photos on my HK trip can be found at my blog.

These guys suggest we increase the scale we measure years in by 10 times - 2006 would be written out and so thought of as 02006. Not near the end but nearer the beginning. In other words, the opposite of what the computer world did in the 80’s when they thought “why even think about year 2000?”.

They’ve bought a mountain top and are building a “Clock Of The Long Now” that ticks once a year. They want it to be a symbolic art statement that time is whatever it is but our frame of perception is seperate and totally adjustable. It’s hard to deny that a lot of factors have compressed that cultural perception to a ridiculously small depth, smaller than it ever has been before. We’re most concerned now with things that happen quick. Fast is good, slow is bad. I think the movement started with this essay in Wired magazine in 01995 and it lead some interested people to form a foundation. Brian Eno is one of them. So is Stewart Brand, he helped change cultural perception once by urging the public release of the those famous Apollo 8 photos of earth from space.
