My Mom

I inherited two of his hats today. One is a snap cap in brown cord du ruoy and the other is a private investigator style hat.

Here is a picture of my mom. My Nonno is in there too. My mom is the girl in the middle on the left with no bow in her hair. The picture was taken in Sicilly prior to my mother immigrating to America.

Mike can work

Unbelievable as it may be, I taught (e:mike) how to use a mechanical lawn mower. For those of you that know (e:mike) , this is a near miracle.

Mother's Day

Wow I am full. I seriously don't think I will eat again till Tuesday. We had lamb, asparagus, string beans, mashed potatos, three kinds of olives, bread, salad, mushrooms, brownies, pineapple, chocolate, celery, brocoli, and more. Now I am tired despite the espresso.

I am spending the day at my Nonna's on the lower west side. The neiggborhood here is bumping with people, the way I remember Kenmore as a kid.

It has a nice residential feel, unlike elmwood which is resembling an outdoor shopping mall, more and more each day. I wonder if they will ever cover it over like the Goethe Gallerie in Jena, Thueringen, Germany. I will post a link later, so you can see what I am talking about.

I was thinking about the space in front of globe market. I love Globe Market and their food but remember when it used to be a park and you could sit there for free.

I also wonder what is going to happen to the gang of homeless people that live in front of burger/starbuckets. I keep meaning to sit with them one day and find out their stories.

Watch out for Free Radicals

No it's not a political movement. They are chemicals that cause aging. when I worked at Feel Rite (like 10 years ago) we sold enzymes that broke them down. I guess they were useful after all.

LONDON: Scientists have managed to stave off the ageing process in mice, a discovery that might pave the way to longer, healthier living in humans too.

Experiments at the US-based Washington University School of Medicine showed that protecting the body of mice against highly reactive chemicals called free radicals long suspected as a cause of ageing gave them longer lives, reports the Scottish daily Scotsman. Quoted from: Secret of ageing no longer a secret- The Times of India

yahoogroups privacy

Thanks to (e:chaibiscoot) for this one.

Yahoo is now using something called "Web Beacons" to track Yahoo Group users around the net and see what you're doing and where you are going similar to cookies. Yahoo is recording every website and every group you visit. Take a look at their updated privacy statement:

[http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy] About half-way down the page, in the section on cookies, you will see a link that says web beacons. Click on the phrase web beacons. That will bring you to a paragraph entitled "Outside the Yahoo Network." In this section you'll see a little "click here to opt out" link that will let you "opt-out" of their new method of snooping. Once you have clicked that link, you are exempted. Notice the "Success" message on the top of the next page. Be careful because on that page there is a "Cancel Opt-out" button that, if clicked, will *undo*! * the opt-out.

Let us all be thankful

Summer weather may be a reality after all.

Last night was great. As I said before our project was quite sucessful as it was sleek, sexy, technically sound, and truly portable. We took it out on the town and just about everyone noticed and asked what was going on with our cyborg jackets. It turned out to be a good advertisment for our professor and his program. I will post more information/media about it when I get my computer back.

Unfortunately, we had a bunch of incidences in which we had to drive around which made us about 30 minutes late to the show. Our professor had a hissy fit, in the truest sense of a hissy fit. It was actually the longest most drawn out drama I have ever witnessed from a authority figure, but hey everyone expresses themselves differently. If it were me I would sternly say, "I am disapointed in you." and leave it at that. He really gave my partner this guilt trip after an excellent show. I think that was pretty crappy of him, especially considering how much she has done for him (an unbelieveable amount of stuff) , and that he taped her hair out with electrical tape that night.

He seemed to forgive us in a drunken state by the end of the night but at this point I don't care about it all very much, even a C- would barely dent 72 credit hours of 4.0!! And I definately deserve an A++ in terms of what we pulled off.

Thank god for the end of grad school. I can now go back to being a productive media artist without the constraints of other people's project concepts.

It was so totally freakin' sucessful. Now I wish I invited more people. We took our clothing out to Hardware on Allen where the class went after the show. Cassie knew I was arriving because her jacket alerted her. I love it.
