or not.
again, entertainment industry... the fans are the hand that feeds you. DO NOT BITE US!
yes, but we're not just talking about 'round the watercooler talking up here. The Browncoats printed posters, ran websites, really ran a promotional campaign. sure, there was some infringement, and the selling of merchandise is a little sketchy. But ultimately this is about on the level of the Grateful Dead suing tape traders, and ordering them to quit trading tapes, because they're supporting that enterprise by selling homemade "steal your face" tiedyes.
It's called the hand that feeds you, when you bite it, you're gonna get smacked. it's about time the entertainment industry learned this.
O.k. as an artist, I will tell you there are lost arts. Lost as in nobody knows how to do them no more. Can you paint a Leonardo Davinci? By the time you did enough research to figure it out you'd know enough for an art history masters, and basically come to the concluscion that to really put brush to canvas you'd have to do a lot of guess work. In the rennaisance every master had their own recipes and techniques, which they jealously guarded. This data was passed on through oral tradition from master to apprentice, and is for the most part gone now. There are plenty of so called "experts" who have their opinions on say, what Rembrandt used as a painting medium. But they are just that, opinions. Nobody knows for sure. Trying to play with pigments and binders, and techniques and recreate some of that lost knowledge is a lot like hacking if you ask me. One of the best puzzles I've ever put my mind to. And it is not just motivated by nostalgia. Many of the masters (Leonardo not included, he was to experimental and most of his work has not weathered well) were so skilled that their paintings have lasted the chemical changes of oil oxidizing over centuries, on canvases which expand and contract with ambient humidity. In fact a well executed oil painting will last longer than any other two dimensional media. No lost arts? So can you send me the link to the recipe for Greek Fire?
anybody remember those? When i was pounding out BASIC on my Atari 400, a thompson twins single would cost me like 75 cents. about the price of a comic book (think they were 60 cents at the time). of course you got 2 songs on that single, but considering inflation paying 99 cents for a song i want is a lot less irritating than paying $3 for a comic book. do they still make those stupid cd "singles"? I seem to remember those running about $5 for 2-3 songs. taking all that into consideration, seems like a right fine deal to this geezer! (plus it goes right into ipod. he he he he)
this is my third year of college using my Newton emate, and I couldn't live without it. I take all of my class and reading notes on it, read ebooks on it, and write most of the first drafts of papers on it. kind of big to qualify as a real pda, but it was cheaper than laptop and has much better battery life. I had a palm m105 for a couple of weeks before the emate, and all I really used it for was showing off, even with the folding keyboard, it just wasn't that practical.
Seriously, Sphongle is the best electronic music i've heard in a long time. They aren't very well known but you can check out some of their stuff at http://www.shpongle.com/ start with behind closed eyelids or divine moments of truth for terence mckenna fans they use some samples of him talking and also have a song that alludes to a song off of piper at the gates of dawn (the gnomes have found a new way to say hooray!!)
