Just a little
digital doodle I did a couple of days ago. Probably do a series of
3. The above is a very low-res file. The actual file is about 300
mb. Good thing I have enough RAM in my system - 4gb - and a dedicated graphics card with 1gb ram. Sometimes, without the hardware, the imagination can only so much - which is why i've always been of the opinion that the class system cleaves out a large chunk of talent by making unaffordable that which might be put to better use by the have-nots - i recall giving up the violin in my early 20s due to lack of funds though i had enough talent to skip to the next grade after a couple of weeks. Always have more than you need when it comes to constructing tools. Then, once you have it, feel guilty about not using all of it and then get down to doing it justice by using all of it. Just a thought.

An interesting
article by my neighbour Jack. It may not have anything to do with your
local affairs, but remember, the solutions your problems lie in your acquiring
perspectives born of the experiences of others.
My comments may be viewed in Jack's comments section.
Let's put it another way - should the Church of England appoint bishops without penises?
...which makes me immediately wonder what the relevance of what's-between-my-legs is to the Word of God.
A 'conspiracy
theory' is a 'theory' and not a 'science'. Not because it cannot be a
'science', but because the lack of transparency disables its 'theorists' from
putting their respective theories to the scientific test. This doesn't
invalidate it, but just gives us a good reason to strive for total transparency. Of
course there are dissenters who laugh at 'conspiracy theorists', but these are
the real fools who actually believe that all that they see and hear must be true simply
because they see and hear it. They become the puppets of the media, MNCs, governments, etc. That is nothing more than a medieval mentality and
such people should be denied the right to vote - as are children and the mentally challenged.
If you think about it further, once there is total transparency, 'conspiracy
theory' will cease to exist as such and become one of the modules within
political science.
Just for the sake of argument....
So the ruling church in Venezuela has criticised this breakaway group for dividing the church. Well, are they dividing the church or are they claiming it for the proles, or working towards a clear distinction between a bourgeois socialistic church and a proletarian one. I think what the church has to do to put this matter to rest is to determine if the Christ was a bourgeois or a socialist in inclination. Till that is done, for all you know, it is the ruling church that is the 'breakaway' faction from the original one. Think about it.

a piece of my sweet memory of Christmas Eve,, 2007 in NY.
There is no doubt that windows is quite the dodgy software. I've been using it since win95 through to winXP and am hesitant to fork out money for what will certainly be the latest DBI version of Vista (dodgy-but-improved). But one of the reasons why it is such a 'crap' OS compared to, say, MacOS - according to reports - is that Mac is competing with Windows whilst Windows is competing with previous versions of itself.
Here is where I apply what I call, 'the principle of relative relief', to understand this. In
other words, so long as what we experience is better than what we are used to,
we can potentially mistake it for 'good' simply because it provides us with
greater relief than what we are accustomed to - that's why political systems, cultures, the human condition, etc, can remain is such a sorry state year after year.
But hey, who cares, that's capitalism for you - selling screwed up goods so
that we can sell you upgrades for the future and depend on the Principle of
Relative Relief to help the fat bast*rds rake it in. Anyway, I'm waiting
for a Win version of the MacOS that enables software written for the windows environment to be used within a MacOS environment. All that Mac has to do is to write up a software compatible with software written for windows. Of course that's not going to happen anytime soon as the fangirls and boys waving flags under the loins of each company are too busy forking out money to maintain either camp without pushing for an amalgamative strategy. So long as Mac can keep their software attached to the hip of their hardware, they can rake in money for their hardware as well. That's 'progress' for you.
