It's becoming more and more apparent I haven't ridden a bike in a while....

Dancing
Busta Rhymes has a new hit song/dance, "Arab Money." You should probably learn about it from these guys, though.

From DC to NYC
I left DC yesterday evening, spoiling myself a little with an Amtrak ticket instead of taking the bus. Good decision, especially since I got to spend a little time in Union Station.
When we passed through Baltimore, I looked for Omar and Snoop on the dark streets full of vacants. No dice.
I got to Mathias & Jules's place by 10:15 or so without making a single wrong turn all the way from Penn Station.
I know I'm home here when there's a mammoth in the window. I guess the plants were really huge in the time of mammoths, too.

Alash @ the Mill
Those of you in Lincoln should really be attending one of the two Alash concerts at the Sheldon tomorrow.
These Tuvan throat singers were performing on Live from the Mill this morning when I went there to meet Avishay. Here's a clip from the last time they were on NET Radio.
And here, today. Please note the horsehead on the stringed instruments.

Men At Work
Ande's been a diligent worker recently. Between his Montessori training and composing the score for a USC graduate thesis film, he's working until he falls asleep.
Full Moon
I couldn't really get a photo that accurately represented the magnitude of tonight's rising full moon. I can, however, hook you up with some sweet wolf paraphernalia.

Blessed Be the Wired How-To Wiki
Make Cake in a Mug
You’re working at home and your mind starts to wander to snack possibilities. There are probably some prepackaged, good-until-the-next-millenium baked items in your cabinet, but you’re in the mood for something warm from the oven. Something chocolate. However, your work ethic is just strong enough to keep you from leaving the computer long enough to make something from scratch. Guess it’ll have to be another stale Twinkie after all.
But wait! With Cake in a Mug, you can have a hot, delicious, fresh-baked chocolate cake in minutes! And all it takes is a microwave, some hot chocolate mix, and a couple of ingredients you’ve probably got in your kitchen.

Seeing Better
"The documentary idea should simply enable everyone to see better." - Scot John Grierson, 1939, quoted from The Vision Machine by Paul Virilio.

Dottie is Standing Guard
What's she watching for? She's been sitting, frozen, for quite some time now.
This Needs to be Seen Again
Love to all who were involved in this project. To those who are no longer in Lincoln, I miss you.
art walk
Felice & I braved the cold to see some art Friday night. There were lovely paintings by Nolan and new work by Brent at the Turbine Flats space, 21st & Y. Once again, Nolan takes us to magical otherworlds.
Brent has been working with painted plywood etchings. I really like the silverfish (above) even though I really don't like silverfish.
This fish fish is a recreated fossil. Looks like it was fossilized at a very timely moment.

Wer sind wir?
Wer sind wir? Wo kommen wir her? Wohin gehen wir? Was erwarten wir? Was erwartet uns? Viele fühlen sich nur als verwirrt. Der Boden wankt, sie wissen nicht warum und von was. Dieser ihr Zustand ist Angst, wird er bestimmter, so ist er Furcht. Einmal zog einer aus, das Fürchten zu lernen. Das gelang in der eben vergangenen Zeit leichter und näher, diese Kunst ward entsetzlich beherrscht. Doch nun wird, die Urheber der Furcht abgerechnet, ein uns gemäßeres Gefühl fällig.Reposted thanks to Harper's
Es kommt darauf an, das Hoffen zu lernen. Seine Arbeit entsagt nicht, sie ist ins Gelingen verliebt statt ins Scheitern.
Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? What do we expect? What expects us? Many feel confused. The earth moves, and they do not know why and how. This their condition is anxiety, and as it comes into focus, fear. Once someone set out to learn about fear. And in the time which just past, this art was mastered, to our horror. And now, setting aside the progenitors of fear, we are due a more measured sensitivity.
Now it is of the essence that we learn to hope. The work of hope will not fail us, it is devoted to success, and not to failure.
–Ernst Bloch, Das Prinzip Hoffnung (taken from the preface) (1954) in Gesammelte Werke, vol. 5, p. 12 (1981)(S.H. transl.)
