copenhagen pics i still have to update them

This is just to let you all know, the Apple Music Store now has Utah Philips, but you really need to go to his page linked above to get the real thing…. btw that also means they have Ani for those so inclined.

You are Giles Deleuze and Felix Guattari! That's
right! You're two people! Actually, you're
probably a lot more than that, because you
argued that all of us are, fundamentally,
schizophrenics. Your notion of the rhizome is
far too popular amoung people who fantasize
about digital technology. You are, however,
both dead.

Conference Management. The Public Knowledge Project Open Conference System. This is very very good, and I wish I had it when I ran MelbourneDAC. There I used Movable Type to maintain the conference website (eventually) and START as the online academic paper… [Vlog 2.1]

I'm still waiting for someone to actually use it for a large conference.

At the Banff Centre.

At the start of the “Leading Innovation” programme….it seems a bit surreal to be here, and to plunge into what promises to be a wonderful week of learning.

The programme is using Leonardo da Vinci's life and work as a metaphoric container and framework…more on that tomorrow.  It's very cool, but I am tired.

In the meantime, I saw this on a wall here:

I met a person who had a dollar

We exchanged dollars

I still had a dollar

I met a person who had an idea

We exchanged ideas

Now we both had two ideas

The return of Opus!!!!

On November 23rd <that's tomorrow!>, after an absence of almost ten years, Opus returns to the nation's Sunday comic pages.

We can't, at this time, go into detail as to what he's been doing during his mysterious missing decade, although Opus is deeply embarrassed about the rumors, especially the one naming him as the catalyst behind the unfortunate break-up of J Lo and Ben. It will all become clear soon.

The poor bastards who will impeach Clinton but cling to Bush.

There are two US national scandals in this piece:

1. The president and his administrations handling of 9/11 and the war in Iraq.
2. The big media companies spinning things for their pals in the administration.

For Iraqi's wondering about an American style democracy handed to them,
at gun-point, by America I can't help but think they are
sceptical.  And who could blame them for voting for an Islamic
state?

I also think it is shameful that Clinton can be impeached for lying
about having sex with an aide whilst Bush and his cronies lie &
disemble daily, imprison without trial, dismantle America & sell it
(where do you think all this money is coming from to fund your war?)
and reap the profits.

“For shame!”  It makes me angry to think about it.

2003 Dublin Core conference: Supporting communities of discourse and practice – Metadata research & applications. “Overall the conference showed lots of enthusiasm in the use of standardized metadata for future inter-operability between institutions such as libraries, government agencies, and corporations. It was interesting to hear various DC people acknowledge that they needed more awareness of how DC was being used in non-traditional settings and ways, such as in corporations, with hardware, and in conjunction with other standards. It will be exciting to see how Dublin Core metadata and other metadata standards start to share a common ground with the information architecture community.” (Madonnalisa Gonzales-Chan and Sarah Rice – Boxes and Arrows)… [InfoDesign: To Surf The Community]
