It's About Time

It's about time that people got the tools to control their own Big Mouth Billy Bass. This site shows how to control the machine that has become part of our lives. Don't think of Big Mouth Billy Bass as a piece of kitsch, or dreck, or a vehicle for an already overexposed piece of music. Think of it as a gateway to new interactive and ambient wall hangings. Big Mouth Billy Bass becomes our avatar in a world of wall plasma.

Off the Desktop

I need to get a few links off my desktop. Here goes:
Story on convergence,

that is, the convergence of journalism and political lobbying. Washington Monthly covers James K. Glassman of Tech Central Station. I don't think Glassman is as without peer or precedent as the article makes him out to be. One thing to take away from the article about this author of The Dow at 36,000 is that you can be extremely wrong -- nearly to the point of fraud -- and land on your feet as long as you're optimistic.

Architectural critic Paul Goldberger on cell phones and a sense of place. Pay attention, people.

A snarky article on the Beatles. The reviewer seemed a little bit younger than me, so he probably didn't get the sense of how gutsy the Beatles were for the time. Actually, neither the Backstreet Boys nor 'nSync would have taken the liberties the Beatles did, but they can go a little farther because of the Beatles.

I hope to read and follow the directions on this before I load Panther, OS 10.3.

I'm not sure what photo I want to transfer to a canvas, but I do want to do it.

More Signs

Just saw on blogdex a site that has a collection of New York City signs from 14th to 42nd Street. Impressive.
