Getting busy

I really need to start making robots so they can't do these kind of tasks for me and make guest appearances.

Soyeon and Art Part 2

In reference to:

soyeon 04:18 : Paul, I'm not being closed mind at all. I didn't say that pic was made by men. I think you are inconsiderated what art is about. or you don't care.



Who are you decide that I am inconsiderate about what art is or that I don't care? You barely know me, which has suddenly become all the more apparent. I do care very much what my art is about but I am not interested in making judgements on what other people should and not consider art. Especially, if I do not know the surrounding context behind the work.

It is not as though art is a dwindling natural resource that we may use up on the "bad stuff." Especially, when we are talking about digital artwork which operates on a nearly infinite canvas.

This argument is akin to arguing what religion is the "true" religion at the expense of excluding all others. I would rather spend my time thinking about what my art means to me and the people it affects.

Where the site is seen

I am really interested in what the site looks like physically, within the confines that people view it at. Those of you that have cameras, can you all post pictures of where you view the site. I think it would be cool to see everyone else's view of the site. I will make it into a gallery.

Here is my pic in the kitchen looking at the iste while cooking.

Wow, jesse had the internet before I had a computer. I am really jealous of him sometimes. I don't have anything left from my pre-digital existence and he has a digital existence before mine .

Soyeon and Art

Soyeon, I agree with (e:ajay) [inlink]ajay,280[/inlink]

Stop being so closed minded. I can't believe you are automically ascribing your value system on that artwork without having any information about the work. I realize that (GOOGLE - body sushi) body sushi is is degrading toward woman. But we have no indication that this is from a body sushi restaurant and not female performance artist commenting on the fetishizing of asian woman and food in body sushi. Notice the way she is sitting up slightly and eating it off of herself. That is very different than other pictures of body sushi, where the woman is portrayed like a silent corpse.

Why do you reduce her performance to the metaphorical simple chemical when you have no idea about the possible complexity of the work. Why do you try and pretend to be some sort of art authority? Nobody is. It is exactly that type of snobbery that makes people hate art.

[size=m]Most importantly, why do you assume that artwork was made by a man?[/size]

Reality TV

I live in a box, well box mansion. I really have no idea what is going on in the world of television. I thought that people confessing their lives on a public journal was radical. Who would have guessed how far reality TV has gone. Well, probably everyone. Tonight I witnessed Cheater TV or something like that. It is a reality spouse cheating spy show that follows poeple around as their lives fall apart because of cheating partners. The whole thing is monitored and televised for us to judge.

In this show there was a hard working guy, whose girlfriend was cheating on him. When he confronted her and the guy in a public location the other dude pulled out a gun and tried to shoot him. The camera crew was really frreaked the hell out.

At the beginning of the show they made this whole point how they are doing this to show people the horrors of cheating. Then they played a commercial for a married person sex service where you can meet other married people that want to get it on.
"If you are involved in a relationship but feel like you need something more, log into Ashley Madison at "

This is juxtaposted with nocheater date where you can meet people that don't cheat. Apparently, they selll a little bit to everyone. Television has seriously hit an all time low.

But the question to me is really, why are people concerned with the lives of total strangers that they can't even interact with.

Finally Back up and almost running

I am so busy because I put off doing all the things I needed to do ASAP but ended up compiling everything I needed to make suse linux my primary operating system. Now I can go back to programing again and take my world off of hold. Thanks to (e:ajay) and (e:twisted) for helping me along the way to having a functional development system. I need to decide on a good IDE for PHP on linux.

I have so much great stuff in store for the site in the near future!! It was so satifying compiling PHP 5 by myself. Now I just a fast connection and I can make the supercomp a server.

Now that I have gotten the hang of making and installing I have gotten everything to work on the laptop including sleep mode, wirless, graphic card, php 5, apache 2. There is also so much excellent software.

Battle Bots

(e:terry) and I picked up (e:shawnr) and we went to go see the UB battle bots competition in the student Union at UB. Adam, this guy in my elecy tonics class won the competition with a bot that had a propeller which could chop the other battlebots up.

Then we ate at the student union, which is a serious ripoff. Terry and I each had popcorn chicken and fries, shared one drink and one salad and it came to $14.00. That is so insane.

Ajay

You would be proud of me. I installed suse linux 9.2 by myself and built the lastest wireless firmware and got the ATI radeon 9700 Mobility to run properly on linux for the first time. It is really fast. If you remember we were getting like 1000 frames in 5 sec = 200 fps at best.

Now it runs like it should have and the 3D is really smooth. I am getting used to using make now.

9682 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1936.400 FPS
10565 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2113.000 FPS
10566 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2113.200 FPS

These number are much more what I expected. I really believe this linux thing can work out now.
