implicit art

Welcome back, nathaniel! Thank you, nathaniel! You are more than welcome.
Zanzibar was beautiful. The Spice Tour was great; the beach dreamy; the seafood
fantabulous; the shopping fun (and I usually don’t like shopping) and my wife
is pretty cool, too.
However, I got some stomach bug on the last day, and I am totally grounded here
at home in Joburg (trying to empty my inbox). nicole also got some bug (of a different kind) bite
that she’s allergic to - there are forces in the world that seem to
not want us to go back to work. I just wish they could get us out of labor
without making us feel ill, KWIM (Know What I Mean)?
A lot has happened in my absence - as usual - and most of which I am unaware
of. It’s so nice to not be a solipsist.
BIG disappointment to see John Kerry take Iowa, and only have Howard Dean in

I don’t like him that much.
Ars Electronica has
opened its doors to a new competition year, and Turbulence
also has a great new net.art proposal competition (for a nice li’l commission
of $5000) - yummy.
Sam Stern, the good child of my parents (Jeanette & Phil Stern), is also
feeling ill this week - so we wish her all the best here in webland, don’t we?
Please also give crazy e-shouts to Jen Wandy on the Shaolin, kicking mad bacteria,
in a fight for health. Word.
The RRF 2004 site
is up - tho the official launch is on 18 February - and I look forward to seeing
hektor’s contemporaries.
Remember when I posted that link to the American Family Association, asking
y’all to vote your mind in their "gay marriage poll"? Well, check
it: Gay
Marriage Poll Gets Annulled
Ben’s (of Ben and Jerry’s) explanation
of our national budget in terms of Oreo cookies.
Whether you are a fan of Dean, not a fan of Dean, or you even hate him, this
is funny.
