Astrology works

I, like MANY many many others, was at one time bloody skeptical about horoscopes… how can that info be important for the 1/12 of the global population who has their birthday in the same month as me… hmmm… yeah right…

BUT! it gets pretty juicy when we start looking at the details…

And i can recommend a look at my good friend Adrian Duncan’s website:
http://world-of-wisdom.com/01_horoscopes/horoscopes.htm
The astrology voice recordings that he is generously giving away (on the left of the sunsigns page) are from our weekly chats… He talks alot more than i do, which is very good if you actually want to learn something about astrology, but not so good if you are wanting to hear my voice alot… ;-)

Mac Pro Kicks the Lamma’s ass

WOW - first time i had 4 cores under my desk… and in such a damn sexy metal box too…

this machine rules and i loaded it to the brim with software and storage and RAIDed up 1.5 TeraBytes of hard disk space and this puppy is stable like a coin ducktaped to the underside of a 4 ton rock…

i had 3 processes over 100% CPU usage SIMULTANEOUSLY… while listening to iTunes, browsing the web, moving 1.5 GB files (on the same drives that the video encoding process were working)… and not even a burp…

i am so grateful to have access to this machine… and look forward to digital creativity explorations and explosions in the coming times!

if you want one of these, and you think you can actually make use of the horsepower… you don’t need to think twice about if its worth it… every penny and more….

so easy to install extra memory and hard drives, that i could kiss the designers feet…
so fast and stable that i feel that i can create anything digitally imaginable…

anyway… i don’t like to tell people what to do, but… GET ONE!

Buy my hair?

Hello!

I made a rash and wonderful decision to cut off my long luxuriously thick fantastically curly hair!

And now you can have the hair that you always dreamed of (that is if you happened to dream about sunstreaked super curly super thick chestnut brown with redish naturally lemon juice and sun light streaked hair)…

IMGP0442_onecurl

Its all in a big bag now!

And I am ready to ship it to the highest bidder!
Soon will be a link to the Auction at ebay :-) It will start on Dec 18th and go for 7 days! Are you ready to bid? big?

Please note, I know I could give it away. But I’m born an american, a capitalist, a capricorn, and i have big plans to save the world, so i can use some money from a wealthy someone who wants a luxurious wig… and wants to help me “save the world”…

This money will be used to continue my efforts in sustainable technology… to create examples of living living structures that consume more carbon than they emit and produce more electricity than they consume! To research, develop and produce innovative technologies to meet the WELFARE needs of our growing world population!

Please bid with generosity in your heart, and enjoy the new curls atop your head!

Fantastic Pens

The PenAgain company from Pacifica, California has created a wonderful product.
You can place this pen in your hand and write without really gripping the pen… you don’t need to use force to hold the pen… it just stays in your hand and you can use the weight of your hand and slight effort to guide the motion to write or draw… It is amazing. I like it alot.

Siddhartha





or for free
Wow, I am reading this gem of a book once again, and well yeah… wow.

The simple precision of the language and the elegance of the characitures amazes me.

I wholehearedly recommend this book.

a quote for you:
“You know how to talk wisely, my friend. Be aware of too much wisdom!”
and a very interesting translation issue emerges ,as i enjoy the translation in the old paper copy that i am borrowing from my mother much more:

“you know how to speak cleverly, my friend. Be on your guard against too much cleverness.”
- The illustrious One, Gotama Buddha, to Siddhartha

Here is the german (presumably the original):
“Klug bist du, o Samana”, sprach der Ehrwürdige.

“Klug weißt du zu reden, mein Freund. Hüte dich vor allzu großer
Klugheit!”

wondering what some native german speakers may say to the translation of “Klug”??
LEO includes both wise and clever - but i do prefer clever in this context
