This evening I was literally walking down the street, it was dark already and parents were passing me with their little ones in cute costumes. I was in a bad mood, didn’t even had candy yet for the kids that probably were already banging on my door, but still I needed to finish some errands.  I had parked and looked my bike in front …

MoveOn is calling for you to “Create a TV ad that tells the truth about George W. Bush.” in 30 seconds. Sounds like a job for OneTake

After a long period of silence OneTake

Last week I came back from Foo Camp to find a carton on my doorstep. MARCUS THE CARCUS and a post-it sticker with “Happy Halloween Mark-US!!” -> (turn around) John and Sophia, my lovely neighbours. At first I didn’t get it, but then it turns out that they bought me some super funny Halloween garden decoration.  It is a guy who looks as …

I want my money back. I was wondering, when these energy companies that are sucking out money from California will have to stand trial and pay back? Now it all makes sense, why we have this recall election campaign. Don’t vote for Arnie, or there will be no justice and all the money will be gone. “Arnold Unplugged – It’s hasta la …

“Bush’s heavy-weather FUD is whistle-blown by EPA leak Stefan sez, “The fossil fuel industry and their ideological brown-nosers have done a great job of spreading FUD about Global Warming. This leaked internal EPA memo details the Bush Administration’s own contribution to the effort.” This is a disheartening and enraging document. 672k PDF Link (Thanks, Stefan!) “

My sister was here the last 4 months. It is incredible how fast they went by. So I am a bit sad that she is gone. We had a nice lunch together at Café Liberty just up the street today. It was a sabbatical for her and she used it to follow her bliss and did lots of Art pieces. She …

Edward Said was often interviewed on KPFA regarding the situation in the Middle East  and I liked his reasoning and clarity. KPFA just rebroadcasted an interview he gave three years ago, where he talked about his life. His death is a great loss for peace and humanity.   The Irish critic Seamus Deane described him as: “That rare figure: a truly public intellectual who has a powerful influence …

In the early 80s my brother had the coolest calculator, the HP 41cx. My middle school class was the last one to have learned how to calculate on a slide ruler. I still can compute basic stuff on it, or so I make myself believe. But then, electronic calculators got cheap enough and everyone switched to them. The most popular …

The Onion current top story about No one makes it to Burning [Bummer no permalinks, will point to another story soon.] is so true for me this year (again). Didn’t get my act together, too many other things going on. But my neighbors did their awesome art piece again: The PlayaPhone. Staying with this year’s theme: Beyond Believe they encouraged to testify. I helped a little bit …
