Hey Boo, how you?
On the final day of The Show with Ze Frank, I heard of The Show with Ze Frank.
What a sad state of sadness. Now I’ve watched almost all of the episodes over the last 6 days and it makes me wish I’d been there as it happened.
Oh Sad.
If you’re like me or, rather you as me 6 days ago and this is the first you’ve heard of The Show with Ze Frank there is a nice summation of the fun we missed out on out today at Slate Magazine

As to the rest of it, I've been away, yes. And have now returned. As it always is: bills must be paid else cable companies repossess their modems… This is set-up to work best for commerce. Fight them if you wish. I do. And to no avail. In the end we pay. It hurts. Yes it does. But if we are to spread the message of Ceiling Cat there is no better way but by internet. It has been too long between entries. I'm rusty at this now. How quickly hiatus saps my prose of grace! My grace saps my maple tree of intent. My nonsense signals me to cease. I heed to nonsenses counsel.
Good Evening. We now return you to your regularly scheduled genitals.
That is all.
Good Morning.
Now speaking of radio; I heard of a thing saying that coming up, FM will move off to a special new hi-definition bandwidth, AM will be reclassified up to equal current FM sound quality, and the current AM frequencies…??
Wouldn't it be Supergayhot!awesome totally! as if by magic – if they'd open them old ol'timey A.M.'s up nationwide upon our shining democracy and grant easy access of the airwaves to the general public? A little spark of life might flare up. Lets see that private individuals are 'on the air' with influence from right inside their own community broadcasting to friends and family on one of these "extremely-local" radio stations. ("neighborhood/family/block/grove/orsmallvillage" station) A newly re-imagined commodity given to The People. The commodity of presiding over wee broadcast ranges to nowhere.And yet….
When one envisions the potential to inform the thoughts of the public in such a system, within very specific groups of listeners very thoroughly, one smiles contentedly. And, even better still, our information will be delivered to the group through our closest friends and neighbors. One need only plant the seed of information. It will spread. Or would. If you had your own radio station.
Plus just think! For instance: just imagine… and….enjoy the thought of the very very very many extra local bands we'll get to hear from and about if the sheer number of radio stations on the "air" and totally available to local bands suddenly expounds by factors of 10's and 27's virtually overnight!
There's always a bright side.
For instance don't you just know some stone-cold freakaleeks out here in the hot and sexy 'merica are stone-cold guaranteed to leave their microphones up & full on broadcast while they hump hard next to it. Come on. That shit is inevitable. Oh What A Delight!
Unlike the radio of the past, now nearly anyone who wishes it will have a station of their very own on the air of influence in absolutely no time at all and will become a part of the conversation before they even thought halfway of anything worth saying once. But, by opening these connections & blurring the lines between "listening & broadcasting" : the two could become effectively one and the same idea, thereby: the network will grow organically. Consciousness will grow exponentially. One way or another at every moment EVERYONE will be listening in, learning, contributing, creating, growing, understanding (& broadcasting themselves humping to each other.) Inside such a network information will travel practically instantly from mind to mind at INCREDIBLe SPEEDS!!! as if by…T-Mobile Sidekick and Television. As if by Blogosphere & Myspace.
Except in my scenario it would be traveling by actual amateur radio broadcasts. And that's Ol' Timey!
(Like democracy!)

The people on Flickr.com are a bunch of cat lovers.
It's one after the other shots of cat upon cat twisted this way and that. I refreshed the Explore/Most Recent Photos area for 3 minutes straight and the whole time it was nonstop: Cat shots.
Now of course, yes occasionally there was the odd photograph here and thereabouts of a chimpanzee, a crocodile, packs of mall gulls or herds of sheep. Perhaps one special sheep. But those were all fairly few and far between, like pictures of tulips and reverse in the mirror pictures of yourself taking the picture of yourself on your cell phone.
Cats were far more prominently featured.
Perhaps it was the passing fancy of a few likeminded individuals into the middle of which I pointed and clicked my way. But that is not what I suspect! If I'm correct, (And I am.) then the truth is that: "Flickr is the face of new Egypt."
There, I said it. And just look at us to agree with me! Do we not build our own perfectly composed geometrically aligned photographs in the desert of Flickr? Thats just like the tombs and pyramids and ancient ruins of glorious horrible Egypt. And scattering amongst our modernity, what do we find? Why, It's pictures of a myriad felines in grand repose! Of course it is! And what of it, Sophocles? What Roman discourse doth we abide? The fall of empires? Issues of state and unspoken bond in blind citizenship? Some sort of sinister shift in the certain humanity we used to embody. This new us. A mix of old and new used-to-be's. Cat people.
Well, beware friends.
One of them is 1/2 racoon…possibly some lemur in there too. Whatever that means.
