i’ve been vegging out instead of working today… and i stopped by thinkdink for the first time today. from there, i found this link called how to dance properly. mildly amusing.

on an equally humorous note (at least currently), i’ve started making a little progress on my sixstep. for a while, i hadn’t found any really good sites, and then i found this great swedish site, learn to break which has 220 clips with more being added all the time. pretty cool. also, looking up learn to break on google turned up a picture sequenced learn-to-break site, and the spartanic rockers website. turns out there’s lotsa stuff on the web, but i hadn’t been searching for the right stuff earlier.

listening to these popmart tel aviv soundboards that i just got (it’s a great quality soundboard. ). ahh, the memories…

this version of discotheque also has some of that hairyb rhyming action going on.

what the hell, i’ll post the whole thing. it’s from the discotheque howieb, hairyb mix. it’s cool.

Heaven, heaven, you want heaven, heaven in your heart

Heaven, heaven, you want heaven, heaven in your heart

Heaven in your heart

Heaven, heaven, you want heaven, the sun, the moon, and the stars

Heaven, heaven, heaven

Now..

so, i got two big monkeys off my back. i finished a half-hour presentation on intellectual property this morning, and gave it this afternoon (turned out very well, i forgot how fun public speaking can be). also, i’m pretty much done with this kiosk (soon to be adapted to a site) for an art exhibit going on campus right now called lost & found, which shows antique (original) and contemporary pieces made from early photographic processes.

some interesting notes: on a hand-count, none of the students in my fine arts senior seminar class raised their hand when asked if they knew what intellectual property was… but the cool thing was that i was able to give my spiel to a clean slate so to speak. i talked a fair bit about the shift in copyright laws (quid pro quo -> incentive -> control model), and about the dmca… also interesting about the lost & found exhibit… there are a set of dagguereotypes “by” chuck close. this is chuck close, hyper realist chuck close.

i’m going to take a nice long nap now.

Gates defends PC at Comdex, unveils new tablet – there’s a video that shows the tablet pc in action. it’s pretty neat… it will be crusoe powered.

that whole /. thread spins off a whole buncha interesting tangents. one is about the naturality of pen input (hmm, intuitive vs familiar probably comes into play). also, there’s a point that the tabletpc uses the pen not because it’s more natural, but because it’s more convenient. “You can write a lot of stuff with one hand — one hand holding the tablet, and one hand holding the pen, while walking around.” – that’s the main reason for the success of pen input and the pda imo.

ibm’s almaden research center is working on a project called blueeyes that observes and responds to a user’s facial expressions, eye movements and vocal cues… pretty neat.
