The Evens
Somehow, I missed the fact that Ian McCaye had this going on...
(You know who that is, right?)

Check It
Check it out, 'cause I am totally stoked on this...
I can't, exactly, tell you what it is - but it is a big deal in the whole take over the world plan, let me tell you.
Right, well, I can't tell you.
It would ruin the whole deal, if I went on about what this is...
So, uhm, yeah.
Well, otherwise, things are going OK.
Still that rather indelicate issue with the baboonbots, but I am working on it.
Haven't really gotten anywhere with that battlegoat idea.
Need to change the cross-flow cooling fluids in the submarine, this weekend.
The usual taking over the world shit...
Restroom Signs
Pretty classy.
Kinda feels like an modernist Arabic aesthetic, huh?
I mean if suggesting titties and dicks wasn't such no-no with the fundamentalist types...
Oddly, though, found in China.

What Now?
George, you just finished starting a couple of trillion dollar , decade long wars, that served no real purpose. What are you going to do now?
Ahh, I think I gonna head back to Texas and, ya know, make some amazing art...
That cat painting, top right, is showing some real progress.
Don't you think?
Here are some updates on some of W's other work.
Feeling Cool
Neeneenerneeenerneener...I am not listening.
Your cool is a subjective to the regimes of power.
I can't hear your posits...

Seeing
This is an interesting bit.
I don't know many folks who talk about this stuff, outside of the ones in academia.
My designer pals, I suppose, talk like this at times...
And I actually think about this stuff, a rather lot, as I tinker with my world.
Positive and negative space, surface, the interaction of lines and such.
I think there is a evolution that requires one to think about this stuff.
Then think about why you are thinking about it.
Then sorta stop thinking about it, remove it from conscious thought.
Until the seeing is intuitive...
Natural.
But what do I know...
Last Nights Dream
There was this limo and on top of it was another half-sized limo.
The scale limo, which looked just like the big limo, was a cargo box sorta like the one in the picture...
Maybe just more artful than the one in the picture.
It cracked me up.
No stealing this idea, by the way.
It's way too clever to be put into use.
It's like those people that get murals of their cars, painted on to their cars.
Only way better...

Tim Easton Tuesday
What's up with this guy?
Haven't heard word since Philly...
Seems like maybe he was shacked up in the same 'hood as some folks I know.
Because the world is small...

Subterfuge and American Politics
Well, here is an interesting, if depressingly short article on Presidential tapes...
Back from the days when the idea of preserving presidential actions was regarded as appropriate and necessary for historical record.
It reveals the trouble with that, and why nobody in charge seems quite so eager to get on board with the eavesdropping for posterity plan any more.
The short - LBJ knew Nixon blew up the (Paris) talks to find some peace in Viet Nam, in '68, and chose to keep that secret. That he considered a last minute jump into that election, but took a pass.
Nixon went on to win that election, by small margin, expanded the war and you know the rest...
So, yeah, that suggests actions in Viet Nam, post 1968, could have been avoided.
Just ponder that, for a minute. In the full round. From all sides.
It seems like a rather big story, despite having happened more than two days ago. Large enough that you might imagine hearing it through some domestic news channel, Ken Burns documentary, Oliver Stone short film, or something?
Nope...
Thanks, BBC.
Maybe it's been all over and I missed it?

Beuys
For some reason, I am thinking about the work of Joseph Beuys today.
Really dig the guy, his process and product...
I imagine that if somebody told me today that they were doing a gallery piece, with them locked in a room with some straw and a wild coyote...that I would tell 'em to go fuck themselves.
But with the thought that Beuys did just that in 1974, and his deal seems brilliant.
I can't explain why...
Well, I probably can, but would rather not.

Last Nights Dream
I like the ones like this, they are funny...
So, last night's dream had me walking around kind of a movie set feeling place...
It was sorta the back lot of Matt Groenig's head, if that makes sense.
The people were real and the actors were all getting made up into animated characters, with costumes, make up and movie magic.
I was just roaming around, taking it all in...
This one actor guy, who was presumably some big deal dude, takes issue with me asking some questions to the crew getting him all robot suited.
"Do you know who I am?" he snapped at me...
"Yeah, you're grey robot number two, right? Needs more grey."
I got kicked out, after that.
Escorted out of my own dream.
How does that work?

Reader...Poop
Saw it coming, I guess, when they killed the sharing options. Google has mentioned the offing of other services I sorta use, too.
The e-mail might be all that is really, actually useful thing in their cadre, to me.
(If I ignore the search, maps and navigation stuff, I guess)
Anyway, I know some of you are Reader fans too...
What's your plan?
NewsBlur? Or some other web based deal?
I can't see going with some desktop based RSS feed thingy.
Nor can I see using any of the apps I run on the tablet. They all seem a bit weak and half work off Reader.
Certainly, I can't see using Google Currents. It'll probably just get killed, as well.
I am eyeballing NewsBlur because of the sharing options, but wonder if that is relevant should I be the only person I know using it...
Should I even mention that the Google privacy suit really has me wanting to jump ship on the whole damned company?
The now legally mandated privacy policies implemented within the company seem a little lame and a lot late.
They are a bit integrated in my life, I suppose. I am increasingly less satisfied with that fact...

Race Shit, Yo
Aircraft racing...
With piston driven biplanes.
Seriously, even just saying it sounds cool.

Groundhog Day
Yeah, I may have missed musing much on the actual Groundhog Day nonsense.
I think that little varmint bastard is a sham deal anyway, false hope and all that...
But I do dig the movie. It's a great movie.
My head space roughly parallels this clip, at the moment, but that is another topic.
I was doing the evening routine, the other night, and this was on.
I sorta bustled through things with it in the background, sorta watching every other fifteen minutes of it, if you get what I am saying...
Watched most of the end scene, the romantic, sappy part, that resolves the whole pastiche of recurring winter malaise...then went out to walk the dogs.
When I got back, do you wanna guess what was on?
Yup, another round of the same movie, Groundhog Day...
Fucking brilliant.
Some people wonder just what the hell it will be like when I actually take over the world.
Sure, it sounds a little scary, with all the Baboonbot talk, and moon bases and what not...
Understand, that is part of a transitional phase.
Folks don't want to just hand me the keys to global governance, you know.
Their may be a bit of a struggle, before you can bask in warm embrace of my world domination.
It's all for the good, though...
I think I have some really sweet ideas on what sorta things need to change, around here.
Example - a broadcast channel that shows an endless loop of the movie Groundhog Day.
Wouldn't that be awesome?

Yes
Whatever questions pop into your head about this thing, the only correct answers would be "Yes."

Last Nights Dream
Another round of this, for our entertainment.
I was waiting in line at a deli.
Not really in line, I guess, but waiting for my order to come up.
I had ordered an egg salad sandwich...
Hillary Clinton was also there, waiting to grab her lunch.
For some reason, conversation turned to the subject of Elvira (Mistress of the Dark).
The odd thing was that our former Secretary of State kept pronouncing it wrong...
She said it line el-Vee-rah, rather than the way pretty mucheverybody says el-Vii-rah.
This all struck me as a little strange...
Certainly Hillary had to know she was pronouncing it incorrectly?
She lived in the south, in the 80's.
Did she not hear that 1981 hit, by The Oak Ridge Boys?
Anyway, I got my sandwich and split.
Went to eat lunch and play with my dog, in the yard or a park or whatever.
Outside, you know, in a dream.
The dog, though, is sorta the size of a largish mouse.
The rest of her was pretty spot on, compared to the real dog, just all smaller...
She was splashing and swimming in a puddle.
The air was warm and thick, like summer.
And that's it...

Feeling
I sorta feel myself again today.
You can read that however you care to...
Also, I am getting on with my day with Sabbath songs about fucking wizards.
So, yeah...
Maybe I am feeling spring creep.
The goddamned snow beast is receding into the trees.
It is supposed to reach 50 tomorrow, which by my blood is just above freezing.
Wizards.
Fucking wizards...
