Had a fanfab dinner with Nicole’s dear old friend, Nancy, and her boyfriend, Glenn, last night. We only met him for the first time, but he gets major approval ratings. Afterwards, headed to Josh Goldberg’s of “don’t call me a VJ, I’m a live visualist” — first digital artist in residence in South Africa; he would hate how pretentious I am making him sound, which he is not; but he does not read my blog, so there — fame. Of course we geeked out over various patches, technologies and other oddities, and now that I don’t have a cap and have decent speed with his internet (like, 1MBPS or something), I’m finally getting a taste of Bittorrent. Wow. So cool. Not as fast as I expected, nor exactly ‘on demand,’ given how it works, but I love the idea of the technology in general, and not too bad. For those who don’t know, it’s kind of like a combo between peer-to-peer and http, and when you file share, you are rewarded for how much you can and do share with others, with your own increasing speed of the download. Melikes catching up on TV shows!!!!
Still up with a bit of the ole jet-lag, but getting better — nearly made it to 6:30 today. Gonna go to brunch later with Joshy and Rachel (his awesome wife), and maybe finally hit some galleries and/or museums.
