Context free movie making

Animation of a context free fractal drawing

Need to think of a title for this one.

six-schizoid

binomial myopia

inflationary hypothesis

I've been playing with context free, a fractal drawing system—I guess that's what it is—and giving the resulting images the most pretentious names I can think of.

Early results of Google AdSense experiment

One week ago, I inserted Google advertisements at the bottom of my company name generator page.

The bottom line—I've earned roughly $1/day on average, and $7.76 total, so far.

Google won't send me a check until the total reaches $100, though.

From a newspaper article I never finished reading

Once some popchick in a slutty outfit, Madonna yesterday emerged as one of the most potent critics of the hegemony of the industrial-media complex.

The retrial of Roy Garcia

I went down to San Jose this morning to witness the closing arguments in the first-degree murder retrial of Roy Garcia. He's accused (and previously convicted, in 2000) of murdering Deborah A. Gregg following a property-line dispute. It happened on rural property, just inside the southern border of Santa Clara county, where I live. I was a juror in the first trial.

[previously blogged, "it's a long story" links].

I was interested to meet the victim's mother, who travelled from Connecticut to see this retrial. We had a nice conversation this morning in the courthouse for a few minutes after the closing arguments.

Thanks to Pamela Jones for suggesting this meeting!
