Re: Monday, October 8, 2001
A survey would be less fun 'cause it's not open-ended, but: My entertainment tastes haven't changed much, I spend a little more time surfing global news sites, but, alas, there's not much I can do about foreign policy. The gifts for the kids I get stuff for will be scaled back a bit this year 'cause the ACLU and the EFF need a bit of support. But I expect the same sorts of things, a couple ultra violent video games to give 'em catharsis from the pressures of high school (and give their mother the appropriate "oh my god, you gave my children what?" heart attack), some robotics or similar kits and parts to encourage the creativity. In the days after the attack, when people were openly friendly on the streets and met each other's eyes more often and offered to help each other, I thought "Gee, this is just like being back at Burning Man". So rather than veging out in front of the tube I'm trying to leverage that time into making connections with real people, getting out to those live shows and exhibits that I always say I'm going to make and then end up missing, working on sculpture and projects for bringing a bit more Burning Man style wackiness and art into my life and my community. But then I say that every year about this time... There are responses to this message:
