The web is really fast on Sunday mornings.

Anybody out there using IE 4.01 on the Mac? Rumor has it some pages here are crashing a machine with that setup. Can anyone confirm/deny this? IE 4.5 and 5.0 are both fine I know. Thanks. (Any other observations about differences in different browsers would be appreciated as well.)
Mr. Jim, Mr. Alex, Mr. Dave, Mr. Bill, Mr. Wheel, Miss Rachael, and Mr. Mark, do we have the energy, means, freedom of schedule, and location to have a party in the NY area next Saturday that would include all of you, and yours, and as many as five or six people I might invite? Maybe we will, maybe we won't. Either way, hope to see all of you during a visit bringing me to the area 26-31 Aug.
Not sure whether or not he's hooked up and so therefore this message is almost like smoke, released in semi-readable puffs, to be read from a distance, but if the wind's too strong what good will it be? Of course, if there was wind I might not even be writing this. How very enigmatic. How mysterious.

The search for oneself and that ultimate purpose, if one is lucky, is a search carried out till the dying day. The search is the end, not the means to it. And like smoke in many ways.

That idea of getting out of the rat race and stopping to smell the poppys, is a good one, but let's not let it rule us. Often there are dissenting factors to consider.

Jim, who are you talking to, and what the hell are you trying to say?

Fair question.

Magee. Magee. Magee. Not to rush you across the country or anything, or to interfere with the time you might spend with parents in Houston (forecast for next week 95, 95, 95, 96, 95, 95), but repeat after me, "Mom, Dad, love you, not always, but in the end, however, gotta go, bye." Get to New Orleans, great town, fascinating, historic, culturally rich, there's the French Quarter, Garden District, St. Charles Ave., Uptown, Downtown, Bywater, Fabourg Marigny, Fabourg St. John, the Bayou St. John, Treme, Mid-City, City Park, Audubon Park, Tulane, Loyola, Xavier, see that guy there, sells crack cocaine, heroin, and marijuana, good guy, and that guy over there does the same thing but he's an asshole, by the way the forcast for NO this next week is 97, 95, 98, 97, 95.

Magee, can you hear me? Hey, hey, hey, are you listening? We need to get out of this part of the country and up towards that NY area where they've been having sex with the seventies all summer long.

Mark, Mark, come in Mark...
just placed my first kozmo.com order. their movie selection isnt very big but i managed to find something. i was almost more curious to see if they could navigate my difficult delivery scenario (no buzzer, no number)than anything else. some decent junkyfoody munchies options but no bubbly water or soymilk. nice that you can place an order and specify an hour window to receive it. ill keep you posted on the outcome.
Here's the live webcam of the Pacific Northwest Lego Train Club's attempt to break the world record for longest lego train layout. Here's a page of photos of the same. They are setting it up inside the Seattle Center. Serious geekery. (from /.)
Went to see Neil Young last night @ Jones Beach. No beer sold here ! Drove from JC over the bayone bridge to Staten Island expwy to belt pkwy to southern state pkwy. Cleaned the return trip at midnight in one hour.Super excelent sound system and it was net broadcasted as well.

The pretenders opened. CH looks the exact same as when I saw her 20 years ago! They finished up with Neil's "The Needle".

Neil's touring with I guess you'd call it the family band. Wife and Sister on back up vocals and back up hippy groove dancing (the sister is HOT) plus keyboard, drum, peddle steel, bass and NY. Mentioned that steel peddle guys been with him 30 yrs and the rest averaging 10 or so. These people have names and I do them a diservice not to mention them.

Opened with "Motor Cycle Momma" and the sister really wailed. The sound guy must have turned her down after that but it was a nice blast while it lasted. Lots of acoustic and electric but it all really cooked. "Harvest Moon" got a big pop from the new upper deck croud 'cause they alone could see an early H M coming up from behind the stage. Neil kept asking every one how they were doing and that he was good. He noted that last time he was here that there was no upper deck and that all those people would have been up in the sky for another big upper deck croud pop. I really dug "Walk On", they worked it for it's full rockin' potential.

They played from 9:15 to almost midnight.

Let me dig arround the NY news group for a set list and I'll be back in a while with sumore.

I'm gushing cause it was my first NY show.

had lunch at the infamous Gundel (art nouveau building and restaurant since 1896) in Budapest today--very old world--but ok and finished with a 1964 Tokaj!!--the baths here are great, i dont think i will see much of the city besides restaurants and my hotels mineral baths (there are 140 mineral baths in budapest and my hotel/baths were also built in the late 1800's)
Some new features added today to the main page. Read all about it in System News. And please bug me with any problems. Thanks.
Wow. Crop circles. Wow.
great food in the famous wine region Tokaj--more details later
from current reading of r b fuller (some of you may know i saw him in 1984 and he told me (us) that we should mate with dolfins (which always makes me think about the original flounder of greenpeace that got a blowjob by a dolfin when young and made him go "wild: for them--now as some may know he now left and has his own boat that just rams boats that are doing the wrong fishing--cool!!)--any way heres a few quotes from :operating manual for spaceship earth (1969):"the universe is the aggragate of all of humanity's consciously-apprehended and communicated experience with the nonsimultaneous, nonidentical, and only partially overlapping, always complementary, weighable and unweighable, ever omni-transforming, event seguences"..."the evolutionary antibody to the extinction of humanity through specialization (---he hates this as he thinks its limiting and limits creativity etc....----) appeared in the form of the computer..." and i love how he call's us (humans) "plantings"
i miss the hash--the king hussian(sp?) "cream" the most--it was "classic" and yummy (~10$ gram)--i miss it today against my wishes to stay stimulant free, ok i am not considering the usual ginseng, caffine etc, but i am counting alcohol which now is flooding my new wrong's right now (i o d'd the other nite and have been recoupin for my apoitments in tokaj, hungary)--the magala "cream" (14$) was much stronger from india but i dont miss it as much (actually i miss linda the most:>), fyi the nepal "cream" was nice too ($8 but at a cheaper place)--now i'd pay double for some screapins off the dust bowl of any bar--yes i could find it here (prague) but its too much work and seeing this guy shooting up heroin on the street couple days ago turned me off from talking to the usual caracter...i drank 2 nite cause my lovely fav pasha(se sustanence abuse) was closed so i didnt want to cross the river to deal with the crowds so i went to the "hot" Kampa Grill with its room filled with old folks with sexy "local gils" serving 1986 Vega Sicilia below my company's whore-sale...whatever i am toasted now and have to go buy some....cigaretts-_chow...
deadset
All pages now have new URLs, although the old ones will still work. Please update your bookmarks. The front door (index) is at digitalmediatree.com (no more 'draw.php3?global=xxxxxx'.)
new absinthe in prague called T.H.C.--nice color too--most absinthe's here are clear green and suck flavor wise--this one looks translucent and may taste better cant find a shop open selling it--also in berlin we saw a super absinthe shop--looks like my favorite spanish brand has released a red colored one (why??)
prob not understandable but this could be one of the finest tea shop in the world--wish we had this kind in nyc (they dont do mail order:>(
one of the best middle eastern restaurants i have ever been to, as expensive also...
floating castles made of....
this guys (gaetano giulio zumbo--other artist are also shown on the link) works were some of the best at "7 Hills" in Berlin, they also had the best assembled "goddess sculpture's" i think ever shown 3000 b.c.+
i liked this very very much-a
we had the scarious meal in a long time in an old world (but cool) speak easy-ish super fancy restaurant**very good wines luckly**it was rough (for example brussel sproats au gratin was cold watery and cover in two slices of american style cheese...)we are in prague
Wiley has really done it this time. The white gazpacho and clam appetizer, new to the menu at 71 Clinton St., is quite possibly the greatest thing of all time. I'll try to get a picture next time, and maybe weasel some info out of the chef himself. Best bet: go without a reservation at 6:00 sharp, grab a seat at the bar, and order this app. Get out before the Upper East Side fully takes over. I guarantee you'll be licking the plate (bowl?) clean.
In case you are having trouble making up your mind, here are two web sites to help you out. The American Presidential Candidate Selector will help you pick a winner. Supposedly I should vote for David McReynolds (Socialist party - I never heard of him either,) and actually, after reading up on him, I've found we do hold a lot in common. That maximum wage thing kind of ruins it for me though. It did pick Nader as my number 2, so it's not too far off.

These questions were much harder for me to answer, but the Belief System Selector has me pegged as a neo-pagan, which, given the possible outcomes, is pretty accurate (although I don't think of myself as a neo-pagan; I prefer spiritual non-euclidean, but that's pretty much just to end those types of conversations.) How 'bout you?
Maybe we can try this. If people really want to link to NYTimes stories, try using 'www10.' instead of 'www.' in the URL. Seems to get around the annoying log in problem.
I admire from afar the world of fine dining and hate to muck up the page with my petty, pedestrian miseries but today coming off the roof to avoid torential rain I went to hide and dine at the neighborhood TacoBell and a notice on the door is giving me three days, Aug 13, to deal with the shutting down for renovation of my favorite eatery, I daresay, my shack of sustenance. Is there no end to the hardship? Speaking of hardship I contemplated the life of crime this morning at 6:20 walking the isles of a Save a Center grocery store, having already purchased my heat n' serve lunch (crawfish fettucine), I curiously wandered to the liquor isle to spy the single malt and this particular store had them all behind glass and key, and no wonder, with probably forty varieties, including beau coup Glenns, and a bottle of 18 year-old Macallan's, priced at $71. I became dizzy with desire and saw myself doing a bold smash and grab routine, but instead proceeded calmly to the checkout and paid for my banana, two glazed donuts, bag of peanuts, and the aforementioned fettucine.
