Every Fremen kne the sound, could distinguish it immediately from the noises of worms or other desert life. Somewhere beneath him, the pre-spice mass had accumulated enough water and organic mater from the little makers, had reached the critical stage of wild growth. A gigantic bubble of carbon dioxide was forming deep in the sand, heaving upward in an enorous &quot;blow&quot; with a dust whirlpool at its center. It would exchange what had been formed deep inthe sand for whatever lay on the surface. The hawks circled overhead screetching their frustration. They knew what was happening. Any desert creature would know. And I am a desert create, Kynes thought. You see me, Father? I am a desert creature. He felt the bubble lift him, felt it break and the dust whirlpool engulf him, dragging him down into cool darkness. For a moment, the sensation of coolness and the moisture were blessed relief. Thef, as his planet killed him, it occurred to Kynes that his father and all the other scientists were wrong, tat the most persistent principles of the unvierse were accident and error. Even the hawks could appreciate these facts.</p></div>

<p>&#8230;about degradation, obfuscation and endless levels of duplication being key to the process, but ultimately just means. thematically it&#8217;s an analogy to the human experience. we move through our lives, collect experiences / memories, the process of time continually distorts our perception and thus relationship to this ephemera, altering it into something wholly other than what it originally was. fundamentally, the contents never change, but the vessel that surrounds it and gives it shape continually changes. this is the crux i suppose, attempting to capture that idea in sound and vision&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was dicking around with css3 gradients the other day and decided to implement these little bubble tooltips:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-694" title="bubble-safari" src="http://brokendisk.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/bubble-safari.png" alt="how it looks in Safari" width="295" height="284" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-695" title="bubble-firefox" src="http://brokendisk.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/bubble-firefox.png" alt="how it looks in FF4" width="308" height="365" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-693" title="bubble-chrome" src="http://brokendisk.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/bubble-chrome.png" alt="how it looks in Chrome" width="283" height="330" /></p>
<p>You can check the source out here: <a title="Image-less CSS3 gradient bubble box" href="http://jsfiddle.net/qteGu/">http://jsfiddle.net/qteGu/</a>.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re not quite there from a graphic design perspective &#8211; the edges don&#8217;t line up exactly, and the borders aren&#8217;t as crisp as I&#8217;d like (not to mention I didn&#8217;t implement it in Opera or IE or test on any other platofrms besides my dev machine, oops).  If I needed these for a professional project I&#8217;d still use images for the corners, but it&#8217;s a neat indication of where CSS3 can take us in the very near future!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jenny and I went to a lecture series last night called <a title="Great Lives lecture series at the University of Mary Washington" href="http://www.umw.edu/greatlives/schedule/default.php">Great Lives</a>, and this one was presented by noted historical biographer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Chernow">Ron Chernow</a> about George Washington.  They said he&#8217;s considered to be the premiere Washington scholar today and he just published a new book, so it&#8217;s a veritable treat to be able to hear him speak.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/keyword/ron-chernow"><img src="http://brokendisk.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/chernow.jpg" alt="" title="chernow" width="238" height="295" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-665" /></a></p>
<p>So he was up there talking looking kinda like Ben Stein,<br />
and we were sitting in the audience supposedly very lucky to be having this experience,<br />
but all I was thinking was&#8230; there is NOTHING to fucking LOOK at.</p>
<p>I was scanning the walls for cool pictures,<br />
thinking about how it would be cool to float invisibly in front of each member of the audience and study their faces in turn while listening to this historian speak about one of our founding fatthers,<br />
I ended up admiring the folds in the intricate curtain dressings of the auditorium.</p>
<p>The talk was really enjoyable and I learned a lot, but I was sort of dismayed to realize that I require *constant* stimulus assault of all my senses to stay entertained.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 402px"><img class=" " title="Ron Chernow?" src="http://phillips.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/619passion_1.jpg" alt="Ron Chernow?" width="392" height="549" /><p class="wp-caption-text">No idea, but this showed up in a google image search for &quot;Ron Chernow&quot; </p></div>
