I left LA around noon, to make it back up to Oakland by 10pm, maybe
time to meet Amy after her
flight and eat some Korean food. And I had a brief Scream screed due
for TheFeature.
Just partway up Highway 5 from Los Angeles and Allison makes
contact - I met her through this site, emailing and posting comments.
I interviewed her years ago as part of Links.net folks but I
haven't posted it yet. "I have a lot going on," I said by way of
apologizing. She verbally punched me.
That was over oysters. She invited me to take the road past Santa
Barbara to get back to San Francisco. It's a longer road but I had
already missed meeting her on my last drive in February. So I arranged
to stop in her town yesterday. I suggested we grab a bite to eat
before I hit the road. She insisted we do some hot room Bikram yoga. That was
her plan last time and she met all my whining about deadlines and
driving with teasing and pushing.
So I found myself in a bikram yoga studio in the prototypical
California resort town. It's like doing yoga in a sauna. This Bikram
guy was pictured on a poster in the room, twisted around himself with
immaculately coifed hair sitting on top of an animal skin, on the
beach. What kind of a yogi sits on a pelt?
The room itself was a non descript facility in a mall, with extra
heating units abounding. Man that place smelled strong. The funk.
Months and years of hot human dank. I'm imagine if that yoga sweat
studio ever moves out and some poor clothing store tries to set up
there, that room will never stop smelling like old pores.
Our class was lead by a late middle-aged looking man wearing a
headset. He kept up an incredible steady banter - sportscasting our
suffering. This was only possible, I figured, since he wasn't
performing any of the incredibly ass-kickingly hard exercises he was
describing. Sweat was running into my nose, into my eyes, my knees
were slipping against each other, my shorts were wet, I touched my
slick and slimy skin. The towel beneath me was wet with sweat. I did
all that I could, skipping parts of only a few exercises. 90 minutes
of hard yoga in a hot room - I couldn't decide whether to vomit or
pass out. I drank a ton of water. I threw death threats at Allison
with my eyes - for inviting me into this hell.
All the while, this guy is talking about the monkey mind and
encouraging us to look at ourselves in the mirror. Never been to a
martial arts or yoga tai chi type class where I was so encouraged to
look at myself. 
Red face ribs showing huffle puffle
wet hair and bony knees. I kept trying not to look at the lady in
front of me, with a tight body and a massive boob job. Boobs popping
out the side of her tank top, as she's standing on one foot, grabbing
the other and lifting her arm. Crazy boob job and yoga.
It was a throttling experience - I did feel quite high afterwards.
Like I wanted to sit in a swimming pool or lay on a wood bench and
feel all my chakras coursing with chi. Drink an assload of gatorade
and eat a pile of cheeseburgers. Here's a picture of Allison and me,
just after class.
Driving back, scenic tour
through Santa Barbara - I blasted Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" off her
IPod, "a place of neverending happiness, you can always see the sun,
day or night" and I watched some very white teeth and light colored
hairs turn towards our cruising station wagon. She pointed out
Brophy's near the ocean, and I suggested we top off our workout with a
dozen raw oysters. We traded stories and laughed good and hard.
Then I did have to hit the road, for all my work and wanting to
sleep in my own bed. 8.50pm at a small rest stop near Gaviola I talked
with a lone-riding biker lady, coming back from her place in Montana,
at the end of a three days ride. She suggested I had at least five
hours to go. Shouldn't I drive across the state some, to hit the
straight-shot 5 freeway? No, 101 is a beautiful drive. At night? I
asked, incredulous. It's not worth driving over to the other freeway,
she promised.
Another hour of driving and I realized I was tired. Too tired to
keep on - I could have had a Red Bull energy drink to stay awake. But
what would Bikram say? I decided not to push myself hard and bleary
eyed pulling towards Oakland two am no food no lights not safe. Why
not sleep full eight and drive straight in the day light?
Working mobile/internet, CHecker tried to find me a
room from some OddWorld local
San Luis Obispo Indie Game
Jam veterans. Too short notice - happily, I ended up in the magic
grounds of the Madonna Inn.
One of America's great hotels - kitsch embraced and extended through
every fixture - each room a unique homage to some aspect of travel or
location. A great attitude too; this solo driver was offered a $95
rate for a night in Swiss Bell. Stone
walls, waterfall shower, wooden ceiling. As close as I've been to the
style and brilliance of Love
Hotels in my birth nation.
 |
| I sat in a chair and pounded out my assignment, using my Treo 600 mobile phone
as a 150k bps modem since the Madonna Inn may be the last bastion of
true 'merican taste but it only has dial-up. |
 |
| Then I laid in bed, admiring the hand-painted broad wooden
armoire, very much Swiss-like. I watched Hosni Mubarak on
C-Span, waiting for him to give some insight into modern Egypt.
Instead he was asked mostly about Israel and Palestine.
Sigh. |
 |
| When I woke up this morning, the stained glass swiss cows and
flowers had come alive. Behind the windows, trees and a grass covered
rock pile. Beautiful! |

from art museum
08/22/2004 01:26 PMXeni Jardin: In Oslo, armed robbers stole one of
several known versions of
Th
e Scream along with
Madonna (
Caution! This art is totally NSFW!). These
two iconic works by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch are considered
impossible to sell because they're so well-known. In other words, odds
may be high that they'll end up destroyed. One of the paintings was
the subject of an earlier failed ransom demand. Snip from Reuters
report:
Two masked robbers ran into the Munch Museum, threatened staff with a
gun and forced people to lie down before taking "The Scream", an icon
of existentialist angst showing a waif-like figure against a blood-red
sky, and "Madonna". They escaped in a dark-coloured car, perhaps an
Audi, driven by a third man. The pictures, worth millions of dollars
and among Munch's best-known works, were later cut from their frames
which were found in another part of the city.

Look Under the WPA Label
Look Under the WPA Label
07/02/2004 12:54 PMPC World investigates whether WPA labeling matches WPA certification:
Sean Captain discovers that even when a product says it has WPA, you
might need to check twice. Microsoft's now-discounted 802.11g router
said on the box that it had WPA certification, but that's not the
case. The device slipped in under the wire for Wi-Fi certification
requiring WPA late last year, and the upgrade for WPA isn't due until
this month. The Wi-Fi Alliance's database of certification had the
correct details, however. Captain warns that if you need WPA, make
sure the device has it: just being 802.11g isn't enough....

The Ringtone Label?
The Ringtone Label?
12/24/2004 12:18 PMWith the rise of ringtones, it seems that some have really taken the
idea and tried to run with it. So far, certainly, ringtones have done
well for some companies, but it's still not clear if it's a
sustainable market, or a faddish one. There's also the fact that the
industry continues to deny that file sharing of ringtones could ever
be a risk -- which suggests they're only asking for serious trouble
down the road. Still, the latest move is that one company has
set up
a record label just for ringtones. Because, already, musicians
have separate labels for CDs and videos and digital downloads and...
wait a second... no they don't. Most musicians basically sign deals
with a single recording label to handle all of their musical
endeavors, so it seems sort of strange to have an entirely separate
label for ringtones only. For recording labels that don't already
include this in their standard contracts, they will soon -- and then
this new "label" will be out of luck. Of course, the reality is that
it's just a way for this company to get a little extra publicity for
these "unique" ringtones. Considering that part of the reason
ringtones are so popular, though, is that people recognize the songs
they represent, it makes you wonder if people really are that
interested in songs that are designed just to be ringtones. Seems
sort of like a niche market within a niche market.
