can you profess to want to abolish private property and at the same time lay claim to a trademark of a name without it being paradoxical? even if you offer that name for use so long as it is not defamed in the process? i need answers people!!
Forgotten New York looks interesting in a Luc-Sante / Ken-Burns-New-York sort of way.

ABC is debuting the latest "reality" series tonight: The Mole. Personally, I'm waiting for the celebrity version.

at eight 'o' clock up on 27th (#?) st at a hotel theater and is only $5.00. I forgot the card this am. with the address but will post it here tomorrow am. It is being hosted by Niki Carson. Remember him ? He was was a punk artist who made a portrait of Andy Warhol by putting a paintbrush in his but and sketching his likeness in reverse. It was a live sitting. The painting was included in a PUNK-ART show at the Mud Club *BUT* was stolen when the show traveled to Washington DC.
Nice picture Alex.
'One audio clip produced from radio waves that NASA's Cassini spacecraft detected near Jupiter was described last week by the Los Angeles Times as sounding "like a troop of howler monkeys battling underwater." '
'The waves from which the new audio clip was developed were in the thin solar wind of charged particles that fills the space between the Sun and its planets. Cassini detected the waves Jan. 1 at a distance of 10 million kilometers (6.2 million miles) from Jupiter. ' from the jpl, nasa.
We're trying to get a little dinner together for tonight. Mark is in town. Originally we thought the soon to be departing El Teddys was our spot, but now we're thinking of chinese (GSI uptown branch.) Any thoughts? comments? How about 7:30?

When I was at my sister's house for Christmas, some of my familly was commenting that they liked my new page design because it was easier to read. When I saw one of their machines I realized why, they use a fairly low resolution (something in the 800 x 600 vicinity.) I know my mother uses this same resolution. Even on a 17 inch monitor this leaves little screen real estate to work with. Add in all the side and top menu bars that Windows brackets you with and the situation is even worse. Some of our pages are reduced to very narrow columns of text snaking down the right hand side of the browser window. Since most of us don't have lots of links on the left hand side (which I guess was the point of all that space - I mean beside the fact that I like a little blank space on a page) maybe we should have the main text take up most of the page. On a big monitor at a higher resolution this can make the text column too wide (of course you can just make the browser window smaller to fix this,) but for most people it is probably better. I've noticed some other bloggers moving toward this style. Like the queen of bloggers herself, megnut.
This sort of cosmetic change is very very simple. Let me know if anyone has any thoughts on this.
Is it snowing yet?
Now I don't want to nag, but be sure to write a thank you note to Jim, for gifting us with this tree-place in cyberspace. It's now a bit more than a year old, and come a long way in that time. It's certainly meant a lot to me. Thanks Jim, for all your love and work here. (Just don't lose my posts again, OK?)

Slow day at DMTree, so I figured I could find something by typing nonsense words into Google. Just so you know, splidge is posting to everything2.
The Florida sunshine law which implies that a post election independent audit would set the record straight
was handily thwarted by the supreme court not establishing (read : intentionally avoiding) a standard for the recounting of unders and overs. They ran out the clock by avoiding this point and accepting the case to begin with. Then blew the whistle to boot. I hate sports metafores.
Any one know exactly where the space lab is in the night sky. I've noticed somthing bright and always exactly in the same place to the south. Is that it ? Have I found it !?
Now that its almost a done deal I'd like to say that I'm glad GWB will be the new president simply and irresponsibly for the fact that I'm hoping he will continue to entertain many of us as he has done in the past. Still, it saddens me that so many of the people I know here in Southern Louisiana and obviously a few forty million others across the country really voted for such an insubtantial hairball of a guy. Sometimes, the will of mass america scares me, although, I guess in a way its good to know where everyone's standing so we can bob and weave, when necessary. Jesus, Gjr as president. I was never able in good conscience to vote for Clinton but give me the chance to replace Gjr with Slick Willie and I would say, "I love Bill Clinton, and I want you to love him too, and tonite when you hit your knees I want you to ask God to love him." (Guess the movie that last line is from--Bill Clinton is not the name used in the movie--and win a no expenses paid trip to the grand opening of the New Orleans, Louisiana Taco Bell across the street from the parish prison at Broad and Tulane.
Carnegie Mellon University found that
e-commerce systems do reduce the use of buildings, but they generally rely
on a transportation system that is more energy and pollution intensive (not
to mention they clog up the highways and cause air traffic delays and then
we as a society complain about it when it's actually our purchases adding to
the problem). The "Green Team" at Carnegie Mellon also took into account all
those boxes and packing materials, which they say makes the environmental
impact of e-commerce 2.5 times worse than conventional commerce.
