one moment you are upset about the lack of respect from the crowd, and the next you are talking about next week’s concert featuring the weakertons. i can’t imagine why you weren’t getting the crowd’s respect.
there was a great line in last sunday’s toronto star article entitled “road testing the $100 laptop’s ‘appropriate technology'” by ryan bigge, discussing the TRS-80 model 100, a laptop from 1983:
for any youngsters reading this, 300-baud is only slightly faster than watching jean-dominique bauby composing a sentence in the diving bell and the butterfly.
and if you haven’t seen that film, please please do.
as you may (or quite possibly may not) have noticed, i’ve finally given chumptastic a long overdue makeover. in the process, i’ve moved chumptastic to a real host (rather than an ancient and slowly dying P2-800 PC that’s been sitting on my floor for 4 or 5 years), and i’ve finally ditched movabletype in favour of wordpress.
things are still a bit rough around the edges, so bear with me. oh, and you’ll have to update your feeds – apologies.
