sundries:listage, eggs:easter, notes:random

haha Trev, *I* found Easter Eggs, too! well, they're not half as cool as the one you found, but check it out... type 'Dave' or 'Dave Winer' in double-quotes: Dave ... Dave Winer (btw, don't click on Jerry's icon--unless, that is, you really want to start DLing a 5.6Mb mp3 of touch of grey! i do recommend it if you've gove a fast connection, though. it's pretty cool. for me, it's a huge Proustian rush... brings back way cool memories of Dead concerts at Berkeley's Greek Theatre in the 80s. i remember this one concert, i was up at the grassy part of the theater, and as i looked out over the rim, i could see the Campanile (bell tower) beyond, sorta melting and waving in the breeze, its clockface kinda like the one in that famous Salvador Dali painting.

"aretha" ...hmm. was expecting something here.
"lloyd" ...of course this does nothing. grr. ;-)

as i was explaining to Trev last night, when he stumbled onto the Jerry Garcia icon by typing up 'jerry' in quotes (or shortcuts, in Manila parlance), this particular Easter Egg is because Dave Winer, the main programmer and visionary behind the Manila technology (and prior to this, Frontier) is a big Grateful Dead fan, of course. anyone else wanna try to find Easter Eggs? (i tried "aretha" because Winer is also a known Aretha Franklin fan. no go on that, tho!)

...as for me, Abe, the earliest memory i have is an auditory one. i might have been in a crib or something, or swaddled in blankets on the floor, while my grandma husked peanuts, to make peanut butter. i remember the sound the peanuts made as she dipped into a sack and took cupsful and poured them out onto the floor. (the visual details came to me later, when i asked my grandma when i was much older what it was that she used to do to make that particular sound i remembered from my infancy.)

Talkback...
