Ok…getting peeved at Radio, which is a bad sign. Going to seek help on their help boards, since uploading is now a bitch.

Dale Hollow Lake
Had a great
time this weekend on the lake. Went fishing with my dad everyday, on his new boat, and can't say I've ever seen him happier than having me and Jenna (my younger sister) fishing with him on his boat. Bets got some sleep, and we both generally just tried to recharge for a couple of days.

William Gibson Speaks!
“The story of film begins around a fire, in darkness. Gathered around this fire are primates of a certain species, our ancestors, an animal distinguished by a peculiar ability to recognize patterns.”
William Gibson, from his speech to the Directors Guild of America on their Digital Day, Los Angeles, May 17, 2003.
So many good things in the speech for information/media people. Gibson is just amazing in his ability to weave words into patterns that mean more than the words seperately…they hold weight they did not previously have access to when he finishes with them. Read this. Everyone who reads this blog…Read this now.

Great birthday party last n
Great birthday party last night for Marianne…sushi making madness. Lots of good food, esp. the Ginger rice pudding for dessert (great stuff, Abe).
Heading out this weekend to TN…my 'rents rented a cabin for the weekend on a lake, and Dad is bringing his boat down. So there should be lots of hanging out on the boat, laying on the deck of the cabin, generally being lazy and reading. Sounds perfect. I'll have pictures up on the blog when we get back, but no blogging while there. No 'net, so I'll be unplugged for the weekend.
