The Cat Stevens Drama
I am not suggesting that Cat Stevens is a terrorist, I am just saying that because someone was famous at one point in American pop culture doesn't make them innocent.
Cat Stevens himself is a little too weird for me. I guess I really don't understand people that are so commited to any religion that they feel it appropriate to change their name. Esther(madonna) is at the top of that list. He started out as Stephen Georgiou, then changed his name to Cat Stevens, and is now Yusuf Islam. People that do that weird me out. What are they so unconfortable with that they radically change their name. Its not like changing from Bryan to Brian. It's like name plastic surgery.
Quote from -
He abandoned his music career in the late 1970s and changed his name after being persuaded by orthodox Muslim teachers that his lifestyle was forbidden by Islamic law. He later became a teacher and an advocate for his religion, founding a Muslim school in London in 1983.
So my question is really why can't Yosuf Islam be a terrorist?

Spectropolis - I am so isolated
Wait, I changed my mind. I don't want to particpate, I want to host my own event here. Who is in for this, ajay? Why don't we push wireless art/communication events in Buffalo. i mean after all it's a much smaller city that would be way easier to unwire than NYC, right?
(e:rachel) , you would really like the GPS drawings . They are the most fantasic idea.

Chicken Wings and Lost Dogs
After seeing the chicken wing ad for anchor bar and making fun of it, i decided I needed to eat chicken wings I guess their advertising worked very well. Well, not good enough that I ate at anchor bar, but enough that I ate chicken wings. I know these are disgusting.

One last sunny day
My favorite 4 year old boots
Here is the newest one, the seed for it must come from (e:flacidness) 's journal.
simulated his,
of do eve just he way him,
gets things my the in.
A different one. I can't stand it I am addicted to seeing what they say and its with me one my phone.
collectivity,
colonie every new,
went thing is car bed.
Sitting here on the cell phone in a sunny field having the site recite poetry for me, rocks. I will definately continue to develop this.
I keep wondering, by creating the alogorhythm for the poem, am I creating the poem. Is my poem the script or the final product? Is it both? Does the person who wrote the original content or the person who type haiku have a role in the process? When the user types haiku they are selecting a particular point in time that seeds the whole process. Without that click the poem doesn't exist. But typing haiku doesn't make poems in itself. You can obviosuly type haiku in many places and not produce anything.
Here is the whole process: User types haiku:
[list]
~Random number is seeded by time of request
script selects a random user and counts entries.
script then selects a random entries from all of the user entries
words are counted for syllables
syllable list and word list are combined
list is sorted
words are selected to fill the syllable requirement for each row without going over, if the word fits within the rows required syllable requirement it is added to the poem otherwise, the next word is selected
when the syllable requirement is fullfilled punctuation is added and the next line begins. repeat process untill ssyllable reaches 17 then exit loop
[/list]
