Telephone graffiti - a new medium.
words to live by (not sure who wrote them, but I saw it on slashdot): Life is great! Don't miss any of it. Create your own time. Enjoy every moment. Life is a precious gift. Feel deeply. Enjoy simply. Celebrate life. Think freely. Take risks. Fight back. Oppose racism and injustice. Also welcome love. Be who you really are because life is too short to do otherwise. Be stronger than your condition. Be kind. Be supportive. Walk in somebody elses shoes. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Above all, seek justice and do no harm.

looks like a great place. I haven't done biz with them myself, but just stumbled onto them and thought I'd let you vinyl junkies know.

Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich, (Ranking Minority Member Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats, and International Relations) is running for president and he thinks the same thing many of us think about the way the country's going. Register to vote now. We've got a lot of cleaning up to do next year. Kucinich hates the Patriot Act, questions the war in Iraq, and has called for investigations when every other congresscritter has been cowardly and silent. He needs your $10 now to make his campaign go the distance. All funds are being matched, so whatever your tax-deductible contribution is, it will be worth 2x as much to him when it's automatically matched.
"As President, I will cancel NAFTA and the WTO, restore our manufacturing jobs, save our family farms, create full employment programs, create new jobs by rebuilding our cities and schools. As President, I will repeal the Patriot Act to regain for all Americans the sacred right of privacy in our homes, our libraries, our schools. (Presidential Debate, ABC News, 5/3/03)
June 6: Salon, whose sub-headline reported, "Kucinich's Bush roasting gets the biggest cheers": "The most impassioned applause of the day was reserved for Kucinich. Introduced by Leo Gerard, president of the United Steelworkers of America, as 'the only vegan in Congress,' Kucinich took the stage to John Lennon's 'Imagine' and proceeded to conjure the heyday of American progressivism by promising a new version of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Works Project Administration. 'We're gonna rebuild America's cities and we're gonna do it with America's steel'... Medicare for all, money pulled out of the Pentagon budget to pay for schools and other domestic programs, and 'total nuclear disarmament.' He spoke to the crowd's fury over the war in Iraq, getting a screaming standing ovation when he cried: 'This war was wrong! This war was fraudulent! We must expose this administration.'

Got DSL or Cable internet? You may need more security to be safe. So who cares about your files? Crackers don't want your files, they want your computer to use in attacks against other sites. Other people might want your files though, so button up!

New Mac G5 computers on the way. Students get great discounts, so don't pay full price if you're in school. Do your homework and get that education discount. The $1999 G5, the 12-inch Powerbook, and the iBooks are all excellent deals, but the most computer for the least money is the emac. They are all multimedia machines and some have DVD readers or writers (think backup, think making your own videos!). We've used Macs for decades around here and we can tell you they work longer and break less than the other kind. Plus they are tons of fun to use. I buy a new one about every 5 years just to get the new technologies, and I give away my old one to someone with no computer, who can still get years of useful life out of it. I wish I was as happy with everything I buy. Macs are so much fun. Plus they are a lot safer to use on the net.
