			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found this hand written flyer posted in the underground garage of my local grocery store:</p>
<blockquote><p>Attention Shoppers and/ Car Burglar</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>On Wednesday April 25th between 8:30 and 11:30 someone stole two center caps off my aluminum wheels. I have a silver &#8216;06 GMC pickup &#8211; tricked out &#8211; lowered, fully customized. Those center caps have &#8220;GMC&#8221; emblazoned on them. If you&#8217;ve seen anyone missing center caps on their wheels who routinely parks down here and now suddenly some shows up thats our guy.</p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-204"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>But actually you don&#8217;t need to do that. Because as I said my truck is customized. And what our friend didn&#8217;t know is I have micro cameras (digital) that covers every square inch of my truck on the outside. I was able to download one so far &#8211; I can see him crouching down and I saw the thing in his hand he used to pry them off. Theres 25 more pictures I&#8217;m waiting on. To the Burglar &#8211; I&#8217;m going to crush you. Then take your whole truck &#8211; from now on everyday you walk this earth look over your shoulder. But you can stop this before I start by putting my caps in a box sealing it put it in one of those shopping carts and label the box Attn: <u>R&#8212; Managers</u>. You have 48 hours to do this by Monday &#8211; April 30th sundown. If not I&#8217;m posting those pictures all through this garage &#038; internet. The Police want get them. I&#8217;m sadistic. I&#8217;m going to do you myself asshole.</p></blockquote>
<p>An interesting thing about this flyer is the author&#8217;s sense of entitlement. Because he (presumably a male) owns the truck and paid for the custom work, he had a personal right to seek revenge on the thief. Nor does he hesitate to tell us how fantastic his truck is, or how clever he is to put micro cameras on it. One suspicious detail is this section: &#8220;Theres 25 more pictures I&#8217;m waiting on.&#8221; Why so specific? And how is it he is writing this flyer before viewing all the pictures?<br />
I don&#8217;t give the guy very good odds at getting his center caps (are those the same as hubcaps?) back. Tonight is the deadline.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seven Days of Art and Interactivity in San Jose starts in just a few minutes. We&#8217;re getting ready to head up for the ISEA symposium portion of events which start on Wednesday. As I don&#8217;t have any sort of wireless setup at the moment I won&#8217;t be able to blog directly, but hopefully I will be able to find a stray terminal somewhere and post some notes when I can.<br />
Perhaps I will take a prototype of my as-yet-unfinished Semantic Trumps game.<br />
So, if you see me, say hi. (I&#8217;m the guy who make an indrawn &#8220;sss&#8221; sound when the presenter makes a highly questionable remark.)</p>

		<description><![CDATA[How to stage your own production of The Black Rider at home.
]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Robert Wilson/Tom Waits/William S. Burroughs musical is about to close in Los Angeles. If you missed it, or are otherwise curious, I present you with this free guide:<br />
How to stage your own production of <i>The Black Rider</i> at home<br />
1. Buy or download the CD, <cite>The Black Rider</cite> by Tom Waits<br />
2. Rent a copy of Laurie Anderson&#8217;s <cite>Home of the Brave</cite>.<br />
3. Cover a toothpaste carton in black paper and stand it on the television set next to a photo of Alice Cooper.<br />
4 (Optional). Make hand puppets (12) out of old socks or scraps of felt, or buy some authentic Balinese shadow puppets on eBay.<br />
5. Put the CD in the stereo, the tape in the VCR, mute the television, and enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I live in Los Angeles. Lately I&#8217;ve noticed a couple of billboards directing me to <a title="www.JayTheWriter.com" href="http://www.jaythewriter.com/">www.JayTheWriter.com</a>. The billboards have black text on a white background, one I&#8217;m thinking of in particular says, &#8220;Hey Kevin Costner, I wrote ___ ____ just for you.&#8221; But the word &#8220;Costner&#8221; is crossed out, and &#8220;Kline&#8221; handwritten above it, so it now reads: &#8220;Hey Kevin <strike>Costner</strike> Kline, I wrote ___ ____ just for you.&#8221; As the weeks go by, the name is crossed out again and again, replacing &#8220;Kline&#8221; with &#8220;Spacey&#8221;, and now &#8220;Bacon&#8221;.<br />
I assumed from this that JayTheWriter was, perhaps, a disgruntled Hollywood insider, who had been part of the industry and was sickened by the platitudes and back room deals that result in movies like, oh, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0315824/">The Big Bounce</a>. I figure JayTheWriter has written a scathing commentary on Hollywood ethics &#8212; &#8220;Yes, you are the first person to read this script; I wrote it with you in mind.&#8221;<br />
Sadly, JayTheWriter is actually just another vanilla writer with a bunch of boffo screenplays. He&#8217;s got a drama, an action thriller, a farce comedy, and a sitcom. Bleh.<br />
One thing JayTheWriter does have is a clever touch for marketing. So here&#8217;s some free publicity for you, Jay. Good luck and all that.</p>
