I was taking a look at Ishkur’s Guide to Electronic Music (via Freeman or Eve) and the geek in me shone through bright and clear. First off, it’s a good way to learn about different types of electronic music and genres, if you don’t know much about it (like me, so for all I know it may be a bad example). Then the geek part says, “Man, those are some good examples of network graphs”. Computer science rules my brain.

Yeah, I like network graphs. And I like interface design and looking at how people actually interact with computers. I just don’t see myself as a particularly stellar coder. I can do it, but I just don’t envision myself creating anything that’s mathematically innovative — which seems to be the typical outlook (at least at Queen’s anyway). Let other people code, I’ll tweak it and make it work for me. I mess around with html, php, css, and some other letters for this site on a regular basis, but I’ve never really seen that as writing code. It may very well be. There’s a weird kind of elitism playing against scripting and markup languages, something like literary journal novels versus scifi or trash romance.

David Crosby got busted for gun posession and pot:

The veteran rocker had checked out of the hotel after the Manhattan show, but left behind a piece of luggage, police said. A hotel worker found the luggage Friday and went through it looking for identification and discovered the marijuana, gun and knives and called authorities, police said.

He left his gun, knives and marijauna bag at the hotel? It’s one of those bags you normally want to keep good track of. It’s also just funny that he had a guns, knives and marijuana bag.

“Yo Leon. Toss me the knife, gun, pot bag.” It sounds funny in my head.
