Check out the free music on myspace...

In spite of the occasional content ownership rights suit threat... myspace has a universe of dynamite musical talent letting you hear their wares for the cost of the streaming bandwidth. It is the thriving artist and fanbase web community that has become the new bohemia...music, art, film, and oh yes the sizzle :) too... it is all here just waiting for you...

...that's my myspace....

Allow me to introduce you to 'Your true self'...

I am writing this from the passenger seat of my SUV. My son is driving as we are returning from a holiday visit with family in Atlanta, GA, USA. In what struck me at the time as a good application of technology, I used my Wireless EVDO connection on my MacBook Pro to get online while rolling down the highway...


So here I am... The message I needed to share with you is that you are a spirit being made up of three elements - the conscious, the sub-conscious and the super-conscious.. In addition to these elements, you have a physical body, a meat puppet that is alive and linked to your tri-part true spiritual self. The goal of life as a human on this reality plane is to live to the fullest extent possible so that your physical body is in as much alignment with the vision held by the spiritual self. In parallel with seeking this state of being, you seek to clarify the unity with universal purpose of the spiritual selves vision. Over time this strategy will elevate the core vision to ever higher perspectives while honing the manifestation of that vision on the physical plane.

"To thine own self be true."

Violence Mars PlayStation 3 Launch

Violence Mars PlayStation 3 Launch

Gunman robs Whitehall Township, PA teen

Man injured in PlayStation 3 melee

...and so on...several other examples made the news, many more probably did not...

This is a microcosm of what is really wrong across the face of our so called "civilization". The pursuit of goals, activities and objectives that are as "virtual" as the "reality" that those gamers will experience in the PS3 "world". The abstraction of existence and life itself away from the core of our real interaction with the universe and our planet... This is why we can fight wars over ideaologies, or even over a percieved "ownership" of a piece of land or its resources. The very concept of a "nation" is a virtual reality. We are a life form who find ourselves on a rock hurtling through space but we think that, for example, the end of this world will be somehow predicted by the arbitrary and virtual reality that is a calendar followed by a subset of our population. After all, if you get far enough above the surface of the planet, there is only one day.

...terrible things...

Usually, terrible things that are done with the excuse that progress requires them are not really progress at all, but just terrible things.

Victor Wooten plays the bass, and now, writes a novel...

Keep your eye out for a novel, written by bassist extraordinare, Victor Wooten. His book "shares some ideas" by following a student and their teacher through lessons in music and life. ...more info here...

By the way his show November 3rd (my birthday, yay!) at the Chicago House of Blues venue never failed to amaze the assembled fans. Featuring jaw-dropping guitar work by his brother Reggie, the non-stop avalanche of Victors incredible and tasteful musicianship was a sheer joy to behold...
