my life before grof, from one site jim turned me on to
I don't usually buy into theories that try to prove biblical veracity in material terms, at least not when we're talking about Genesis, but this story is based on responsible science, and keeps getting more interesting. I still think that floods are a pan-human experience, but a big enough one might go down in (pre)history. Then again, maybe Noah was Chinese.
Now this is pretty funny. Democrats are accusing the Bush campaign of using subliminal messages in their advertising. Seems unlikely to me, but the demographic that believes in such things should not be underestimated. After half a century of semiologists teaching us to read the deep structures in undisguised messages, you'd think we'd know better, but some folks would rather smell a rat than see one.
Plans are being made for a day in the life of weblogging.
just back from SF, walked the Haight at 7:30 am and went through the Golden Gate Park too, its nice to be in city that was once home and have people whom remember your name
I haven't developed the taste myself yet, but I know a few of you (mike, steve, ect...) will be pleased to find The Captain Beefheart Radar Station, where you can download a variety of rare live video's and MP3's. Someone with more knowledge should comment on whether this is really the good stuff.
Anybody notice our pal Jeff Lazar in the Village Voice's Mad on the Street feature? (scroll down) Personally, it's not the going back to school that I miss, it's the two month vacation beforehand.

Drinks tonight. 5:30. The Local (on Ludlow.) Be there or be [].
Here's a gallery of burning man photos. We should get something together for next year. (via robotwisdom)
Cam had this useful link to the air traffic control system command center where you can check the delay status of flights at any airport in the country.
Summer is a sort of Ocean, but not boundless.
A bit of melancholy infects its further shore.
We would rather not return to the workaday,
but there is nowhere to remain.
Only a vagueness that grows chill.
Boy if that doesn't sum it up way beyond my ability to do so. Cheers to Mr. Wilson. I say cheers because I am taking the Wheel's advice concerning my precious sample of cask # 14240, a taste everyday, and what a taste.
And I truly wish I could not relate to you concerning the failing health of your father, but I can, and the eloquence of your grief should not be dismissed as "sophistry." You honor him.

Writing a little script to parse the access logs. Here's some stuff I found out.

[update: I just saw that we were noted as one of Chrisitine Vachon's links in an interview on contentville.com. I'm going to have to give Rachael's page the points on that one.]
Sitting here at Bill's in Jersey City, as meteorologist, looking at lower Manhattan, looks like rain to me. Take cover people.
I liked Dave's Survivor thinking (Rich won == G.W.Bush will win,) although I tried to parrot this and people weren't buying. Anyway, I only saw a small bit of 2 shows, but this thread (keep clicking 'next in thread') seems full of info from people much more knowledgable than me. Maybe too knowledgeable?
Thanks for the baseball tip Dave. It's even more interesting than I thought it would be (1953 style next inning.) Did they say how they are doing it? Probably its something like the on-the-fly video morphing stuff they use to insert the mph and such (wheel linked to a story on it last week.) Like filters in photoshop, but running real time at 30fps. Cool. I often want to comment on your posts, maybe we could make a discussion page somewhere here that you could link to just for comments from your blogger page.
saving grace - funny british film about a small town (c0rnwall) widow growing (a huge amount of) pot to pay off her husband's debts. worth seeing, if somewhat silly - great corn flakes scene after two local ladies have a tea party (-lb)

some dude said :
"Terrific show, very interesting setlist, I'm sure you'll agree, lots of stuff from deep in the catalogue, lots of stuff I've never heard in concert before (or, perhaps,
don't remember--how could that happen?), like "Motorcycle Mama," with Astrid and Pegi really belting out accompanying vocals; "Dance, Dance, Dance," which Neil gave to Crazy Horse for their first solo album and which can also be found, my sources tell me, on a '91 Neil bootleg, "Winterlong," an early composition unreleased until the Decade collection; "World on a String" and "Mellow My Mind," not the best-known tunes from Tonight's the Night ; and "Bad Fog of Loneliness," an ancient-sounding psychedelic-pop thing with a country edge that I can find no history for. Pretty much everything had some kind of an edge to it, as you would expect from Mr. Young; even the slowest, mellowest tunes seemed dangerously
unstable. Pretenders opened, and did a couple of the star's songs, kicking off their set
with a sinuous "The Loner" and doing a hard-rock take on "The Needle and the Damage Done." "Brass in
Pocket (I'm Special)" was the encore and the highlight.
i,m sure this was posted discussed etc so sorry if its old news
