Today’s Doonesbury just hit a resonant tone with me: “the parameters of debate.” In the strip, the White House press corps is questioning Bush’s choices, or rather the choices he gives himself. While I’m glad the press has brought up this question, I think it has been brought up neither frequently enough nor with enough fervor (see my post “Who Frames the Parameters of the Debate?” from December 9th, 2005.)
Which is why i’m happy for the Blogosphere. The advent of personal blogs can only be good for democracy and the free exchange of (perhaps wild) ideas.

The Parameters of Debate
The Music I’m Listening To…
I joined Last.fm last month, and it’s pretty cool seeing my listening habits all collated on the web. Of course, iTunes does it all itself, but i can only see its stats from my own computer. Last.fm lets anybody see it, and lets me see it from anywhere on the internet. Plus, it lets me post my top ten list in other places, like here:
If you don’t get the table of my recently played tracks, you can just visit my Last.fm page…
First WordPress entry
Hello. I love trying out new blog systems. Found WordPress last night, liked the blog “Biosingularity”, or at least the idea of Transhumanism and Technoliberation: that technology will help humanity survive and even evolve into the next level of bio-informatic species.
But i’m really looking for a blogging system that will allow me to post images and music files really easily and prettily. I’m an artist and musician, and while i love to write, what will ulitmately decide for me which blogging system to use is its multimedia abilities, its user-friendliness, and its ability to customize its layout, colors, visual design.
So. Trying out WordPress.
peace+love,
Keith
PS: so, here’s a pic i just did for Cheryl’s business…
Music?
Will WordPress take? Do you see? Do you hear?
Well, no. Upon uploading a 6.4 MB .aac file (my very own “Garden Galaxies,” an original song composited in GarageBand), i got this error:
The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
Back to Image Uploading
“Image Uploading?” Can we upload only image files? I do understand the filesize limitation… I’ll try “fura logo,” an 8-second mp3 file…
–
Nice! OK then, filesize limitation was it! May be worth purchasing, then, more file space…
Now, what if i use the “Linked to Page” option instead of the above “Link to File” option?
Thin Coats
Well; I feel like blogging, and this is supposed to be an old blog, but my new one is unable to take new entries, so, just like i seem to do, i will spread out my life like a thin coat of paint, in a million different directions to try to get my color out there, all the while barely covering the bare necessities…
God, it’s cold! And it’s been cold all week, culminating in today and yesterday, and they say tomorrow’s supposed to be cold, too. Dang. And M wants to move north. To Santa Fe. Or Seattle. Or NYC. Gonna have to get something more than my current thin coat…
