Brad Will, A Close Friend of Mine Was Murdered By The Mexican Government
The day before Brad boarded a plane from New York to Mexico we sat in a room
together preparing his laptop computer for travel. He was enthuiastic about
covering this struggle of a people in a desperate situation, which he said
needed coverage because "the millitary police are camped outside of town."
Brad was one of the first friends I met when I moved to New York in the spring
of 2001. I discovered the Indymedia center on 29th street and showed up for a
meeting. Brad was there whenever I was. He showed me around Indymedia and
around the city. He was part of exactly what I was looking for. A community
outside of society that created their own. Squatters, infoshops, bikes, zines,
newspapers, radio stations, documentaries, bands, artists. He lived his
commitment every moment I was with him. I didn't understand it at first but the
more I lived with him, the more it became real. Shortly after the introduction
to his world, I knew I couldn't settle for anything less.
He gave me the courage to stand in the front lines of my first street protest.
He gave me the courage to get on a bike and ride through city streets
celebrating nothing more than the fact that we can do it. He showed me the
gardens built from nothing on the Lower East Side.
I'll miss you forever. You were too young. The last time I saw you I could tell
you had grown into a person truly original and your life was just beginning.
Here's the back
story, which I'd rather not get into cause it's hard enough writing this.

12th Annual Halloween Alleycat
OMG. I raced through manhattan and brooklyn in the famous
halloween alleycat. Didn't do
so bad, though the results will probably be late. They didn't even do prizes at
the after party. The race was amazing. I kept up with the second pack off the
start and despite some getting lost, dropping others and minor bonking we
finished. Heidi won first gal and Ken took 1st place overall.

Personal Kyoto Protocol Goal Meter
Enter your
ConEd account
number and this graph will tell you how you measure up to others in your
area. After 12 months of data it'll tell you how close you came to what you
would be required to consume with the
Kyoto Protocol. Yea! Use
less power! Kill yr idols!
P.S.
Here's mine.
No idea what kind of parties I was having in the apartment in May.

Keeping Multiple iTunes Libraries
So now that iTunes almost does everything I would like, I'm using it. Dark
Side? Maybe but as long as I can keep using ogg/vorbis I'm happy. Here's the
current challenge. How can I keep multiple iTunes libraries for different
locations? The goal is to take my laptop with me and never have a busted link
in iTunes since the bulk of my 50 gig music collection is on a file server at
home.
I don't have a solution yet but I do know that there is only one file
responsible for keeping the whole index in order. By default it lives in
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml. Since it's XML, it would be possible
to do some text parsing and make slight changes to the library and have
multiple databases. Changing locations would be as simple as moving a file and
replacing it with another. Of course the Mac wankers would want some fancy GUI
with a plastic button that was labled "change library". Maybe some day but for
now I'll keep you posted on the shell script I hack together.

Not Since Aphex Twin's Windowlicker
Has there been a video as funny in it's objectification of ass and titties.
Dougal Wilson has taken Benny Benassi's "classic foam party club anthem",
not
my words, and set it to slippery bitches with power tools! Did I just
say slippery bitches? Holy shit. That's the only way I can describe
his
music video.posted at: 19:21 | path:
