Barenaked Ladies did
excellent show. They worked the crowd beautifully. Fun. I would have paid to

incredibly funny. Hire them as Big Blue house band.

Context crumples in on
itself like a crinkly membrane as subject engages with objects in situational
milieus, much as proteins fold.
In my vision, context
is the milieu, membrane, or manifold through which subject and objects engage.
Had an odd
metaphysical thought about Jeff Jonas' "context accumulation." My
image was of "crumpled context."
I take absolutely no
schadenfreude in the fact that the Cardinals, who eliminated the Nationals,
were themselves eliminated by the Giants.

Jeff Jonas is also
noticeably ripped. He runs Ironman marathons and answers his email while

Jeff Jonas is freakin
briliant. He just gave me rapidfire preview o his#ibmiod preso on "context

"I'm a mover and

"Service with a

many reasons, some of them mean. Bared teeth.

50 years ago this

Nice to be in Vegas a
day before I get down to work. I always walk the city, off-Strip, alone, to
catch my breath and clear my head.
There's plenty of data
on the future. It's called "the past." Trick is to find it buried
down deep inside that great historical dump.
