With the Saturday Market closed
until Spring, Nancy's income has
dropped to about zero, in spite of
the 10,000+ visitors she's had at
her gallery. Her greeting cards are
actually less expensive than the
"commercial" variety, and prints
are also available at reasonable
prices. I'm posting this to help
support a local artist, whose images
are well known throughout Oregon.

I celebrate the slave women in Kuwait
who still wear veils and are not allowed
to drive. I was never a big fan of
Sadam Hussein: the face of George W.
Bush is much more inspiring as a
picture on my dartboard.
What about the occupation of Tibet?
What about Indonesia's genocidal
occupation of East Timor, where
hundreds of thousands have died
brutal deaths?

"How does the order in which we
process a sequence of events
influence our memory for those events?"
Among other things, I'm a serial
composer with a perverse interest
in questions like this.
I would also like to apply the
holographic model of memory
to an analytical framework for
musical studies. So here are
a few recent essays that may
help to connect the dots... David Roknichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00062279203901155334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1226278.post-18576642001-01-04T21:22:00.000-08:002001-01-04T21:22:37.660-08:00Library of Progress

"...important as the first one who
fully developed the Taoistic thesis

the epigrams of Laotse."
All the beatniks were so enamoured
of Lao Tse - why not go all the way
back to the earliest source of Chinese
metaphysics? To Chuang Tse.
An arguably complete translation
of his works is now online at the -

it's probably the only storage

unintelligible but new words emerge."
