from pud at fucked company comes amazon scan, track amazon products’ sales ranks over time…
from amazon: “The top 10,000 best sellers are updated each hour“. How long before we can speculate on amazon rankings?

When I need a spelling or definition these days, I use a paper dictionary only about 5-10% of the time. While at a computer, I’ve been using m-w.com out of habit and speed. On my phone, I’ve been using a WAP interface with dictionary.com mostly due to a default link.
Beyond simple spelling or definition though, I’m quite excited to find that wordnet has a WAP interface now as well.. I’m curious as to what other linguistic monsters the language of the web has spawned?.. more if when I find them.. send links, please. ;)
I’d like to find Kimerer LaMothe‘s forthcoming book ‘A Disconcerting Miracle: Theorizing Religion and Dance’ when it becomes accessible.
argh!.. it’s true, i can’t stop thinking about tap, i’ll be training my dancer on the 1st.
Along the same lines, it would be fun to write a virus with the goal of grabbing the most frequently accessed information on any given system and sending that off to other systems. After all, if it’s being accessed so frequently, it must be important.. might as well let other computers know about it so they can use it as well. In the interest of computer equity of course.
apparently, taking an old idea, adding a bit of corporate support, a little government funding, and the word ‘art‘ is enough to get Tap by James Buckhouse in Collaboration with Holly Brubach a display in new york city. In all fairness, it is cool that beaming coreographed dances around is possible. I’ll check it out and likely change my opinion after spending 10 hours training one ;). It’s too bad daliworld‘s net wide aquarium seems to have fizzled… but now that i’ve found progress quest I feel oh so content.
A googlebot though, that gets me going ;).
This year’s Phoenix Festival is officially on the calendar… I can’t wait.
all this weekend at concordia in st. paul, mondo jugglefest XIII, complete with guiness book of records attempt by jumping rope on a unicycle. i may stop by on my way to dieselboy at plush.
If you’re not the greatest unicycler, but refuse to be left out of the action, one more attempt next weekend by with 51 hours of movies at the act II popfest, march 1st through march 3rd.
possible geek gathering at BlogCon2002 before bman?
popblog put herebox under music/electronic/techno. hey hey.. wonder how i ended up there ;). thanks for the link.
memepool‘s mention of the ability to use google in pig latin (and many others reminded me that i’d meant to mention the google zeitgeist a while back. The 2001 overview and timeline is a really cool look at trends from the past year.. over 150 million queries a day offers quite an amazing angle to look at culture I think.
this wednesday! 20:02, 20/02, 2002 – only once before (10:01, 10/01, 1001), and never again (unless we allow 30 hours in a day). another cosmic moment.. ;)
Diller + Scofidio’s ‘blur building’ is only one of the cool things going on at the swiss expo 02. (looking for a summer job?)
(thanks corinne, for both… and, of course, bucky)
Tempest high score will be mine.
these magz are incredibly cool.
an unfortunate monarch masacre might make them a bit scarce for a few years..
finally updated radio playlists for the past two weeks.. first two shows may follow shortly. thanks for listening (krlx, 88.1fm).
I was lucky enough to watch what I generally refer to only as ‘lain’ in seattle (thanks jen and megan).. I’d never looked for further resources though.. luckily, memepool comes through again directing me toward the slightly outdated, but nonetheless resourceful Serial Experiments Lain: The Cyberia Cafe.
we’ve got to get a copy around here.. who’s staying for spring break?
Noam Chomsky, still around, read this.
let’s get twin cities dancesafe back off the ground. join in.. meeting and further online resorces coming soon (go vote on a good time to meet). alternatively, post to the thread over at mnvibe. definitely get in touch if you are interested in helping out.
ira glass is visiting the U of Minnesota on Feb 18th.. hope i can make it up. (more tour dates)
