All the Concerts I've Ever Attended
Tributary, my week radio program, reaches three states every Monday night
with tunes from Folk to Funk, from Jazz to Jambands, from Bluegrass to
Blues and bedtime stories on the hour and the half. Spent the
last five summers camping out in open fields, volunteering at folk and
bluegrass festivals. Filled a 20 gig iPod less than a month after getting
it.
Poet
Winter Comes To Shadow Lake
Aftermath
Hurry Up, It's Time
Poetry most recently published at asiniepoetry (well, they can't all
be winners). Previously published in a plethora of zines and
webcollections. Once wrote a sonnet a day for a month, and
dreamed in iambic pentameter; now writing less than a dozen poems per
year. One of these days I’ll get the archives up and running again.

Technology
I have an undergrad degree in Cyberstudies (Sociology and American
Studies, mostly, plus some psych, anthropology, education, rhetoric and
writing) and a Masters of Arts in Teaching Internet technologies, both from
Marlboro College.
Theoretically, that means I'm a trained digital culture vulture -- able to
synthesize issues to evaluate the cultural ramifications of any new
technology on a grand scale. In reality, it mostly means I think I
know too much about everything...but then, what's a blog for, anyway?

I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
And you know, when you study the semiotics of Through the Looking Glass or watch every episode of Star Trek, you've got to make it pay off, so you throw a lot of study references into whatever you do later in life.
- Matt Groening
She wrote secret web pages with gentle empty spaces where the universe could creep in and rest when it got overwhelmed.
- Robin Williams
Cable news networks...often act as if the best way to present information is to serve the viewer two opposing advocates battling it out. But in many instances, this ends up confusing rather than illuminating. Not every fact is debatable, not every opinion equal -- or worth equal time.
- David Corn
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
- Arthur C. Clarke
This "telephone" has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no use to us.
- Western Union internal memo, 1876
The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular?
- David Sarnoff's associates, in response to his urging for investment in radio, 1920s
Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons.
- Popular Mechanics, 1949
There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.
- Ken Olson, President and founder of Digital, 1977

Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2002 08:53:27 +0000 (UTC)
From: "MRS WANG"
Organization: FUJIAN HUALI TECHNOLOGY CREATING CO,LTD
Do you like to comprehend a computer housemaid ? Do you like to own a blue soldier ? Today , SHIELD gives you the answer .
SHIELD is a computerize gas kitchen which is controlled automatically and intelligently. It is a world wide invention , is a new generation of the gas kitchen..
What is the benefits that SHIELD brings to us ? Firstly , it will relieve you out of the kitchen ,you shouldn't be in when you cook the food .Second ,it solved the problem that the food would be burned ,the soup be out and the gas be leaked .And it will make your family safer and healthier.
Do you want to understand much more merits about SHIELD? Please see the followings:
1. amounts and the kinds of food (boiling water, porridge, rice , soup ,fish ,meat ,medicine), SHIELD will regulate the temperature and time to cook automatically ,and the soap won't be out ,the food won't be burned .It will turn off the electric and gas source by itself ,and tell you by springing out the music .
2. when needing and you can set five times to light fire .
3. ,it will send out a big fire ,and when the temperature reached 100 ,it would change the flame .If the temperature is below 100 ,it will turn to be a big fire ,and keep the flame blue .The containing of CO is less than 0.04% of total .(standard :less than 0.05%) . And then it reduced the pollute .
4. B"CAutomatically limit the time of offering gas :It is 30 minutes that offering the gas. When cooking ,it won't be out whenever it is blew or watered .Because when the fire is out , it will light automatically. When the gas leaked ,the density reached up a level or the temperature of the platform is over 80 ,SHIELD will warn you and turn off the electric and gas source .
5. need ,it can set the temperature and heat the food by itself .
6. according to the container .
7. 70.51%(standard :higher than 55%).Comparing to the common gas kitchen ,it can save more than 40%source of total .
8. natural gas and marsh gas to cook , also can use many kinds of pans, such as iron pan ,aluminum pan and high pressured pan. SHIELD computerize gas kitchen is a housemaid , is a soldier .Is there anything more important than the safety and health of your family ?
Let us share more happy in our lives .Not to bore for the burned food, not to be sad for no time for cooking .For you love your family ,please begin with SHIELD .Possessing SHIELD is possessing love .
