A small Hiatus...
I'm going to be spending some time on my other art and maybe even some music. I'll post pictures as I finish them. For those who know me and my "fairy" drawings you'll be pleasantly surprised.
As for G-LOK I plan to start up near the end of August. I'll post when the date nears.
Thanks

Independent World Television (web?)
I just found this site. It looks like they may be working on getting an international news organization out onto the web...(video IP?).
Have a look.

TURN OFF THE F#@*ING TV!!!
Republicans and Democrats are the same thing and nether one has your “the average American citizen’s” or what I like to call the “Lowly 99’s” interest at heart. Doubt this; we couldn’t have become a police state without their help.
If you want your freedom back the only way you’re going to get it is to vote independent.
Vote Green
Vote Libertarian
Vote American Independent
2006 is just around the corner and we “the people” need to take congress back!
I know what some of you are saying…Republicans and Democrats have too much power (it helps that big business contributes to both parties). My answer to that is easy…
If you want real news go to the web. Plus the web levels the playing field and negates the huge money advantage those two fake parties have over the independents.
The choice is ours, we can choose to take our freedom back or we can choose to be treated and tagged (National ID Card and RF ID) like cattle.

G-LOK Terminology 101
Idiosyncrasy and the history of the Man-Machine Interface. (this also references "force-data")
Blast from the Past...
I do claim to be a musician in my bio, well guess what...I found my old IUMA page. I don't know if the music can still be downloaded but if you want a sample of what I was doing in the mid to late 90's go and check it out.

When did big business start getting its ideas from the Mob?
This reminds me of those movies where the thugs come to the old guy’s store and say “You need to pay us to keep your store from getting damaged.” What they don’t say is if the poor old guy doesn’t pay the thugs will be the ones doing the damage.
What the consumer needs right now is a music store that sells you the music without charging a subscription fee and then allows you own the right to it FOREVER!
Right now I only know of a few sites that are actually taking the honest path.
Apples itunes
MusicMatch’s store through Dell
Wal Mart (as much as I loathe their other business practices)
Here’s a question. What happens if that business goes OUT OF BUSINESS, are the consumers who have to pay this monthly extortion bill just “SOL”?
How about another question? Does the Artist receive any portion of the subscription fees? If they don’t than I really think ASCAP should get involved.

Finger in chili and death to the corporation!!! ahgahghhah!
Five things the cable/satellite companies would need to do to make me want to subscribe to their medium again.
2. Brake up the News Agencies so that they aren’t all owned by one person (Mr. Rupert Murdock) and then eliminate the ratings system. Do they still teach you in school that monopolies are a bad thing?
3. When signing up for cable give the consumer a choice of what channels they want (channel by channel). That way they can unsubscribe to a bunch of useless (mostly sports) channels we don’t need.
4. No more reality television! Please!
5. Create more educational programming.
Actually I probably wouldn’t subscribe to cable television even in the unlikely event that they catered to my demands. The reality is I’m more productive with my time without the boob tube running 24/7.
Top Five Things you can do after unplugging:
2. Communicating with your partner/family. How long has it been since you’ve done that?...no really.
3. Go to the Park. You may not know it but we have parks in most major cities.
4. More time for video games. Ya I know this doesn’t fit in with my liberal tendencies but its fun anyway.
5 . Internet. Wow, a medium that allows you to communicate with others, get your news, entertains you (games, music, queue movies though NetFlix) and has less intrusive advertising thanks to good popup blockers,…it also makes you read!
Top five Reasons to give up cable/satellite TV:
2. Poor News coverage. It’s mostly propaganda and totally sensationalized. If you doubt this statement just watch the Michael Jackson case. You’ll see what I mean.
3. Too many sports channels. One more sports channel and I’m going to throw up! But get this; with a basic satellite package (Amer top 60) from Dish Network you get seven (7) sports channels. However, if you want the one History International channel you need to upgrade to the (Amer top 180) and how many sports channels do you get then? 44!
4. Reality TV. YOU DO KNOW that it’s totally scripted and hyped right and except for the name it has nothing to do with reality. What would really happen if you put a bunch of people on an island and told them to survive? They would form a community, establish a hierarchy, set rules and would probably never want to return to a society that has bills, mortgages, taxes, poor leadership, and an unquenchable thirst for getting over on ones neighbor (keeping up with the Joneses are we?). They would probably live very much like many of the Native Americans did before the Europeans invaded and for the most part wiped out the entire race. In other words they would be living a life most of us can only fantasize about.
5. Make it hard for the corporations to target you. It really is all about marketing and selling a gimmick. Don’t make it easy for them. Make them work for it.
Remember when it was called the “Boob Tube”?
Being cable free actually gives you and interesting perspective on our society when you’ve gone without it for a wile. People (friends included) will continue to make remarks about a particular television show and you’ll need to remind them that you don’t have cable. I really like it when the customers at the bookstore I work at tell me the saw the book they wanted on this show and I reply “I don’t have TV”. They always say that’s great or good for you. It makes me feel like I’ve done something extraordinary!
My recommendation is for everyone to try it. Go ahead and unplug for a wile, come on give it a shot. You can do it can’t you? You have the strength right? It’s just a TV it’s not like trying to give up breathing…Is it?
*NetFlix is great! (When they don’t get stolen, damaged, lost, or sent back by the Post Office** because they couldn’t read the name on the P.O. Box).
**Post Office is great, unless it has anything to do with NetFlix.

Sack of rocks for $.99 at IKEA?
Perhaps it's the idea of "buying" a rock that puzzles me, I mean I can guess the obvious explanations for buying rocks (used to decorate a potted plant is a wonderful use for them) or is it (because we don't have or make the time to go out and find the free ones). I think what I'm really trying to get at is do we "buy" the rocks just because they seem like a really good deal and/or why don't we make the time to go and get the free ones?
Let me also say that I make no criticism of IKEA for selling rocks nor do I make any of the individual who chooses to purchases their rocks over finding them. I'm only offering an observation that I noted while shopping at IKEA.
In the End all I'm asking is...
A Sack of rocks for $.99 at IKEA?
comments welcomed.
