john cage on pandora
I am listening at this very moment to the “John Cage” channel on Pandora Internet Radio. “They” played some pieces for prepared piano a bit ago. Now it sounds like some Steve Reich that I don’t know the title of. In any case, considering that my other saved stations are “King Crimson Radio,” “J. S. Bach Radio,” “Brian Eno Radio,”...

Scanning a Barcode in a Digital Magazine
I got an iPad a few weeks ago and I really do like it. Maybe too much. There are so many cool things that it can do, and I’ve found that I actually DO get more work done. Crazy, huh?

I Changed the Name on my Tumblr...
I changed the name on my Tumblr blog from StuDu, which is what my mom and sister used to call me when I was younger…sometimes still when they want to irritate me… to my actual name, Stuart Dummit.

Should I?
It is now post birthday and I have a little bit of money to my name, though not nearly enough to justify spending any large amount. Still, my talent for justification has steered me toward the purchase of an iPad.
I know, it is expensive and it is something that I really don’t need, but I really do want. I can justify it in many ways, but when it comes down to it, it is just desire. I want...

…that’s when and where I was born. A lot has happened in those years, and a little bit of it, just a smidgin has happened to me. Of course, I’ve made a mountain out of a mole hill. I think the universe has me as its center and all the energy and matter, and all that matters is about me. One would think in the time that I’ve been alive that I would have learned better.
