PostHeaderIcon Lifestream

We got the 2 gig sd card for the camera. Thank God for small mercies. It holds adequate video and more than enough pics. Mel is already pushing it. Getting her best shot out. The office gets more interesting. Geeks are people too. Maybe more practical but people just the same. I will be getting the training I need to get to where I want to be. Writing code is like art. The google maps api holds so many possibilities. I am thinking of creating my own mashup. Something unique but practical. Something for the world even it is just for a small part. The code is not that hard. Just a matter of tweaking it for all its worth. Been hearing more and more about the lifestream. Today's social media is changing day by day. Now it is the lifestream that takes center stage. It is a constant chatter from everywhere. Unlike the traditional blogs it is quick and futuristic. The now only lasts less than a second and it is already obsolete. Streams like identica, twitter and friendfeed defines this medium. But others are already crowding the social arena. It won't be long when the lifestream is the new net. As I blogged about before this stream rides on top of the web. Another protocol to satisfy our lust for everything web. Can you keep up? Well I got my streams in identi.ca, twitter and more recently friendfeed. They keep me pumping. I send my schisms into their void and wait for the tremblors. Does not mean that I have abandoned my old blogging techniques. This site is my main portal. It is where I launch from to assault your hyper senses. There must always be a place where you go to retrain, revamp and recharge. Here is my nesting ground. I sow my seeds here. They sprout in the void of the lifestream. I am everywhere. I am nowhere. I am now.

PostHeaderIcon Michael

I didn't react at first to the news that Michael had passed. Now am reacting like a fellow artist. Trod on soldier. Your pain is over. Many hated you. Many loved you. The world never understood. The usual. The proverbial. Will it ever change? They judge to feel good about themselves. Who are you mortals telling an artist how to conduct his affairs? Who are you mortal flesh daring to judge one another? Do you really care stinking paparazzi? I read the comments of fools and it is so sad. Cowardly freaks hiding behind the computer screens typing to their hearts content. Step out on the stage. Face the mob ingrates. Show the world what you can deliver. Instead you hide and rant. Artists get their vibes from Jah. They are the conduits of the message that is dying to be heard. Music is power. People like to categorize music into foolish isms. But music is just music. Music is for the people transcending race and ignorance. Michael did that. He transcended. Al Sharpton told it well in Harlem yesterday. I big him up for that. People love to hate but hate will never win. One day the sky will fall on us all. In the meantime I listen to the music. Michael stayed young forever despite the haters. Nietzsche said those who stay young long stay long late. That was Michael. A true rider. Why go gently into this good night? Why be like the haters. Haters never accomplished anything. RIP bro....

PostHeaderIcon Binary Double and Nix

Everybody has a double. I see mine in dreams. What would you do if you meet your absolute dead ringer? For sure everything comes in pairs. The popular saying that death comes in threes can't be discounted either. Doesn't matter how we dissect existence. The reality is that everything is connected. It is the same with the tech revolution that has addicted the entire world. When all is said and done it boils down to binary. You could be a Linux freak like me or a mac enthusiast or windows fanboy. It don't matter. Binary rules the roost. You switch on or you switch off. Alive or dead. Tech or Luddite. I wonder whether God coded existence using open source? That is my question of the day. Well I did some good stuff for the day already. Got that lastfm plugin working. Upgraded to php 5. Morsel by morsel this site comes into its own but I can't design for shit man. No matter I will make it shine like how I envisaged. Read about Google's release of rich snippets. Sounds radical. We'll see where the semantic web takes us. Wolfram alpha feels like a black hole even if it spews info out. It does not feel open. Too bloody technical. It is a grim machine. The grim AI that failed. I think Google has the edge. Google is edgy. They have their hands on the pulse of today. No matter how smart you are if you don't know what's going around you then you'll never get it right. This is why when a new application or service leaps to the fore front of the tech revolution we are always surprised. We are always looking in the wrong direction at the wrong picture, waiting for the expected. Now that the pre is out let the smart phone wars begin. I did get to try out the pre at a sprint outlet. It is revolutionary. The multitasking function is its best feature like many reviewers have praised. I still want a G2 phone though. I am an open source fiend man.

PostHeaderIcon Tweak Hope

My Firefox 3.5 beta keeps breaking. Pidgin is broken on my Ubuntu box.   The Joomla site am building is taking it's own sweet time.  Such is the nature of tech. I mean I would prefer that everything  worked when I wanted it too but it's all good.  This is the reason why I swear by open source and Linux.  Whatever the problem, whatever the struggle the flexibility of open source gives me many options to solve my problem .  There's no spoon feeding, you pick your task and work it. Makes you resourceful.  Gives you that confidence and resilience to tackle bigger projects.  The biggest satisfaction comes when you help other people to fix their tech problems.  Open source greatest gift is the community.  Take the Ubuntu forum for instance. It never ceases to amaze me the level of commitment they maintain.  People there are always willing to help but not in a condescending way. With that said I think I will be upgrading soon back to Jaunty or even karmic for that matter.  I wish I owned lots of machines to do crazy testing with Slackware, Sid and Gentoo etc.  This Linux thing got me paranoid.  Don't you just love it how apt works?  Using apt-get build-dep app is the real man. What is better than that? Not dissing yum or Slackware's portage mind you.  I messed with apple for awhile and in my opinion it is amazing. Nevertheless I found myself using the Unix cli to satisfy my console craving. Yup am a cli junkie. Don't you just love to compile your stuff?
Android has this killer app. The mobile augmented reality browser is straight out of Sci Fi reality.  It acts like a terminator scanning the environment feeding you information about your surrounding.  I find this amazing and scary man. By the time we get to stick this reality directly into our eyes you know judgment day is almost here.  Just kidding. The march of progress is inevitable. Don't hate the progressives and please don't diss the progress.
Well that jaunt to Rutland went well. The moms took her tests and I saw my brother.  Showed him the site offline. He was extremely pleased. Mad props to Joomla. The site goes live this weekend or am not the man with hope as his last name.  I binge on hope whether am ducking meteors or trying to convince myself that the money will fall from the sky. Hope is my biggest high. It is the angry fix I sniff when my world is tumbling backwards. Sometimes the games is sniff or not to sniff.

PostHeaderIcon Mind Bender


The day comes when you get tired of casting sacrificial shadows. It's time to create again. A new future is thrust upon you or you penetrate it like a soul warrior. It was never envisaged but suddenly it is there nonetheless daring you to man up. The usual cause and effect siblings surround you on the karmic plain. Karma never sleeps. She is neutral and ever changing. She's the eye of the storm and the outliers. Welcome to existential reality. By the way the next stable release of ubuntu is called Karmic Koala. It will be released in October. And guess what Windows7 drops on that very date. Coincidence? Hmm the fear of Linux rambles on. Ubuntu 9.10 better support my HP netbook sans complaints and broken drivers. I reverted to hardy from jaunty precisely for that very reason. A tech friend did the same and he is real geeky. My sound was broken. I could only use my headphones plus no mic. I am a spoken word fiend man. Anyways I know Ubuntu will come through. As you can tell I am rocking the tech like a fiendish geek. Basically I am ready to disappear underground. The tech ninja is calling. My new haunt is indenti.ca. All the geeks are there doing what they do best supporting other like minded souls. I had my fill of facebook though I drop in now and then. I hope to market some stuff there real soon though. The tech world moves faster than time. I better keep up. Things in my world is constantly changing. I better be ready to mutate when the shadows shift. We own a camera now. Adds a new edge to the art beast. I envisage a whole new slew of contrasts in blackest lights and most intense kaleidoscopic caricatures. Are you feeling it? I am feeling it. I am feeling “the sinners in crisis” that drops soon like a beast with a wicked cover design from my artistic fiendster
