Hi here, Mr. Hoffman, Ms. Marine, Chris Burke and IETF/WEIRD Club
Members-this example shows then a typical way in which the other-half; or
"GREEK" solution could be utilised, as seen at
http://www.slip.net/~navyblue
(in reference to yesterday's post "BAOZI" (Chinese))But to plainly
state "what-it-is", that I'm designing; let's just call it "New-TV?"
Last night on PBS they had a program; New York City Television History
and the upshot was that "if only TV could be seperated from the Madison
Avenue people, just long enough to allow for the natural growth of the
medium, in order that the public might be able to se the
full potentiality as an art form...?" WOODY ALLEN, ROD STIEGER, etc.!
The same may be said of the "Internet;"( read "WEB-TV," TiVo, etc. )
There is going to be PLENTY of REVENUES for EVERYONE...so...? Would
it be 'allright' if the people who DON'T understand the FUTURE MEDIA
please just sit in the backseat with their mouths shut? We'll pay you!
I'm not kidding, it's like some many other enterprises in the last
30-years...it is kind of a 'superstition' with these 'big-wigs' they just
don't think anything will sell unless they have a kid beating on a garbage
can in a ghetto! "We" ...( THE... real... genuine... people)
DO NOT WANT OUR CLOTHES, PERFUME, CARS, ETC., to come from a GARBAGE CAN in
A GHETTO! One question? WHAT DO YOU THINK 'they' WERE TALKING
ABOUT WHEN 'they' MENTIONED..."VOODOO-(read 'Doo-Doo)ECONOMICS?"
That's right, just like in '1984; they laid the truth on you but you
wouldn't listen! YOU ARE GETTING THE INFERIOR 'STUFF!"
I'd like to see a 'modern' Internet. How about you? But with 'info'
it cannot be..."BY DEFINITION"...all 'Nuts & Bolts' (MECHANICAL!)
At some point...ENGLISH SPELLING will have to be 'reformed!' Right?
Write? Rite? Wright? Huh? ( as well, many languages still have
NO writing system...or MANY! So they 'ain't ready for 'PrimeTime!')
Phony Hindu accent on TV ad ..."Are you RRRReady?"("for Internet?")
"Sheesh!", "Come off of it!", " Next!" ( Let's cut the 'baloney'!)
But if we wanted to just do "Op-Art" perhaps the easiest fast look
at an example of "fun" ...'solutions', can be seen at
http://www.slip.net/~o614275
Which is the "DIGITALIZATION" of the "GIANTS!" baseball logo. A very
"Y2K READY" design?
Unbelievable as it may sound, many of the varied works I design are
made to go together as part of a larger "picture"...and one of those
"pictures" can be found at
http://www.cam.org/home/Wcoprod/mmpro.htm
first page; 2nd Item, "CALIFORNIA STAR"
and that is the 'formatting' of information 'by design' for the
eventual 'convergence' of the technocratic jumble of networking which
soon will require some semblance of organization.
Best method for creating stanards? At the state school-text level!
So this is a design for "DIGITAL HIGH SCHOOLS" (AB 64 Mazzoni)
NEW SCIENCE IS HARD ON OLD BRAINS!

P.S. (This might be said to be the way in which to create browser-ads
in the GREEK language...but can be created from the Roman keyboard!)
