Things I’ve noticed about myself that seem a little weird or counter-productive.

I worry about losing or even worse missing out on any of the discussions in the technical lists I am subscribed to, especially ones I read regularly. ie. max-msp, jitter.  I really shouldn’t care, and maybe should stop reading them so much.  Instead go to them when I want to help the community, or when I need a specific thing, but quit worrying about the newest ideas and/or solutions passing me by.

This is getting geeky, but I think I need to do this. Tonight I have learned how to use the terminal to navigate and how to run an application in the terminal called javac to compile .java files into .class files. I also learned that many .class files can be compiled into a .jar file. Not sure how to get to those classes yet. Also can’t seem to figure out some paths stuff when compiling from max.

Tonight I made a pact with my brother-in-law that I would do one performance a month for the next 6 months. We also agreed to exchange lessons and check-in time in order to more completely realize our goals. I being a technical coach, and him being a realization of goals coach.

I am thinking that maybe we could accomplish this thru a potential mutual goal
of creating a podcast together.

Attached is a random file to illustrate how easy it is.

Joe and I were walking to the studio on 4th, just under the Yesler overpass, when “THUD!” a body falls flat on its back. We look up to see paramedics and police at the ready. There is a call to rush in . . . .

1st there was the pipe organ, then the piano, then the turntable.

Now…  The Ultimate Home Orchestra. Control Everything anyway you want, with whatever you want.

FLOCCI­NAUCINI­HILIPIL­IFICATION = an estimation of something as worthless.
This is the longest word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. Interestingly the most common letter in English, E, does not appear in this word at all, whilst I occurs a total of nine times. The word dates back to 1741. The 1992 Guinness Book of World Records calls flocci­nauci­nihili­pilification the longest real word in the Oxford English Dictionary, and refers to pneumono­ultra­micro­scopic­silico­volcano­koniosis as the longest made-up one.

The more people steal and consume hollywood content the better. Gradually funding will be leaked from the illegal sources and the consumer will have to be more and more responsible for the content. This will result in far more super shitty, but meaningful content. As well as an overal itegral increase in meaningful content. Community produced, conservative budget. Eventually people may have to devote more and more of their time to these non-profit ventures which will mean they are probably spending less money, and therefore will need to labor less. The consumption will find a balance with the needs, and as long as the system isn’t controlled or corrupted everyone will live happily ever after.  Until the end
Or the machine will take over. One of the two.

In todays day and age of modern “convieniences” we need standards. Most of us aren’t technological geeks, and really it isn’t a very healthy life-style to begin with. I want to know how to teach my son to file bookmarks in a long-term easy way, that doesn’t warp his mind into thinking about nested folders. Just keeping up on whats out there, and trying not to get caught up supporting “the man”, takes to much time when it comes to “testing” early computer tool prototypes.

Although it would mean giving up some control, what I want to find is a group I trust (maybe even I could be part of the panel), that has similar ideas about what digital technology should be, to help determine what tools I should be using and supporting. All these tools should be towards open-source, or maybe not.?

People want to believe that corporations represent the same evils that American politics do. This is partially true, but a good percentage of share holders are the middle people and friends of most of us, and the consumers are all of us. A good amount of any large corporation is only a mirror of what all “1st World” people are to afraid to confront. Maybe then, a global Google economy wouldn’t be so bad. Especially with Yahoo’s Artificial Artificial Intelligence running the show. The climates and peoples of the climates would be the bits and the bytes. Even a single out of place bit can crash the machine.
Here’s a question. Would you rather a computer programmed by the people run the global economy, or the Bush (or ??) family?

What if the next ballet was Google vs. Mrs. Bush.
