all kinds

The Prix Ars Electronica Cyberarts Competition announced its
winners
and on the list for a Golden
Nica
were two fellow ITPers,
Carlos J. Gomez de Llarena and Yury Gitman, for their cool project, noderunner.
You go guys!
The war is (kind of) over, and many are still questioning why
it had to happen…

As if we did not know that Hillary’s
book may be prepping her for a 2008 presidential election?

Now this…
is what I’m saying. Headline: Liberal
Democrats set to ‘take gloves off’

Trapido
quote to familiarize my readers with a common South African colloquialism (this
is a perfect description):
"Mrs. van der Walt nods & says ‘Ach shame’ [actually spelled ‘Ag shame’
but pronounced with the back of your throat as in Hebrew] about Lisa’s arm [slightly
deformed at birth]…. When she says [this], she doesn’t mean ‘It’s a disgrace’,
because in the local idiom, shame means a combination of ‘What a pity’
and ‘Isn’t she sweet?’, so people will always say shame to babies in prams and
to cute little puppy dogs [or when you are feeling ill, like me]. That’s as well
as to people with funny arms."

If you ever read one edition of The
Note,
read today’s. The archives are here,
and the date to which I am referring is, obviously, above (if you don’t see this
blog and follow through immediately). Lots of stuff about my favorite primary
dude, Dean.
And my latest bit of advice: if you do not have a Mac,
get one. If you are not running OS
X,
do so. Once you are there, GET
SAFARI.
It is the best and fastest browser I have ever worked with. Fan-bloody-tastic.
That’s it for today. I’m exhausted. Lecturing to art grad students on Object Oriented
Programming, and then trying to deal with South Africa’s horrible (but only) telecommunications
company can do that to, well, anyone…

derridean logic

I spent several hours at the studio this morning, working on my lecture for tomorrow
(and still have a ways to go). My wife and I have had many conversations about
how thinking actually happens in writing and speaking, rather than before it,
as many people assume. Granted, this is a very structuralist/post-structuralist
idea, but there is some truth to it. You know how they say that the best way to
learn something is to teach it? I’ve never understand pseudocode for programming
multimedia art better :)
But I can’t resist, and I digress to the primaries. My father seems to think that
Lieberman is a good choice,
and it makes me feel all gross inside. Sigh. Why is it that a man with a Masters
Degree, who has been teaching at a University for several decades, is completely
unaware of all the other candidates? It’s not his fault. It’s the ever elusive,
but always present, "media."
Again, I have to thank The
Note
today, this time, for starting The
Notepad
– a "please submit your statement to the true left in under 200
words" for all nominee hopefuls’ campaigns. Check
it.

Some of those candidates *might* be better than I thought. But I doubt it. The
real find of the day? This
Blog
(finally! nathaniel
stern
has featured a blog that was not taken directly from the blogger
main page!).

blogger re-blogged

I don’t want to just mimic every featured blog that blogger
posts, but Where is
Raed?
is yet another fab link they housed this week. Great insight, very
different global view… Check
it out!

PostScript: some doubts as to the author’s identity (Iraqi who blogs in English
& German about international politics)? Go here.
