Everything worked out OK. Played acoustic in the small room where <s>my</s> our stuff is (update: still) hanging. Perfect amount of people for that room showed up and we had a great time together. It was very chill, very fun, very loving space. I read some from <a href="ir/micha/">Micha's Story</a>. Sung a lot. Talked too much. Yeah. Thanks everyone who showed. I live because of you. <a href="miriam/">Miriam</a> especially helped me out today and I just want to tell the world how much I love her.

RSS is an important topic I need to learn more about as I develop my Dynamic Widget Moving System software. Yeah. This is why musician-photographer-novelists-with-websites developing software and learning a new language tend to end up a post-combustive pile of ash on the living room floor sometime around, oh 6PM on a Thursday. Meanwhile some past work is paying some dividends--sadly not monetarily, only in a bit of fame equivilant to yesterday's grinds left in the coffee maker overnight. And oh by the way there are about 250 of you visiting this trash pit last week, so I guess I'll keep writing for you--but please do keep telling yer friends!

But then I know the editor so there you go. <a href="http://www.next-wave.org/aug02/my_new_church_pt2.htm">My New Pt 2</a>, which caused a stir over at <a href="http://www.next-wave.org/">NW</a> last month (see <a href="http://pub95.ezboard.com/fnextwavefrm21.showMessage?topicID=46.topic">these</a> <a href="http://pub95.ezboard.com/fnextwavefrm21.showMessage?topicID=48.topic">two</a> threads in case yer not caught up {this is all assuming you could give a shit*} ), has already spured <a href="http://www.next-wave.org/sep02/godsword.htm">a retort article</a>, which in turn has already spurred (I don't know how to spell that word so I figured I'd try both once) <a href="http://pub95.ezboard.com/fnextwavefrm21.showMessage?topicID=51.topic">another thread started by some amazingly calm and intelligent person I don't know if I know</a> (if you are reading email me and let me know who u r). *If you don't give a shit, good. Here are the things that I thought at once hillarious and cul: 1. I'm quoted! WOW! Does this mean I'm legit? After the quote he says: On the surface, Daniel Miller's article gets points for being clever and sounding cutting edge but... it his comments are neither Biblical, as he casts light on the literal revelation of the Word of God, nor is there anything spiritually productive. First, where is God in the equation of giving and preserving revelation, ala I Peter 1:20? Secondly, the whole comment oozes the same mentality that is being used to present the heresy (gasp!) of the openness of God that teaches God does not know the future and that makes Him so "much more real." I LOVE IT! (Although I am unsure what "it his" comments are.) 2. Previously, on the aforementioned <a href="http://pub95.ezboard.com/bnextwave">board</a>, THIS incredible thing was said about me: I've seen this same article written by about 150 different people on the internet now. When's it going to stop being considered original? We all know this...so let's move on. Or is it the fact that this guy's tight with Coupland and Vonnegut that makes him more than cool? Damn I wish this were true. Although someone jumping to a conclusion (or are they mocking? oh well, ignorance is bliss) that I'm even remotely in the same camp as <a href="http://www.coupland.com/">Coupland</a> is a great compliment. I also wish I knew who Vonnegut (<a href="http://www.vonnegut.com/">a?</a>) was. Someone also referred to me as Sir Miller. Oh shite. They weren't being antagonistic, either... SO it is an interesting life, isn't it. Everyone go see the new pic up at <a href="http://www.christianpornmachine.com">Christian Porn Machine</a>. Does anyone watch those old SNL episodes with Mike Myers as the female jewish public access talk show host? The other day I was watching that and he goes: ...Christian Porn Machine is neither christian, porn, or a machine.

It's a two hour drive, and i've been just too exhausted and spent. Even though i really like that band, i just wish they were coming up to hit the DC market on this tour. I have to study, and get ready for Friday's gig. I'm actually now really glad <a href="http://www.overtherhine.com">OtR</a> isn't tomorrow night... On other news, found out today my guitar, the Guild, my favorite, is on its last leg. Hopefully there will be an inexpensive way to repair it, because the only way currently costs almost as much as a new guitar. Anyway, it has about another year in it ATM. I have to hit the books now... ...the main thing with this language training is that it's leaving my brain fried for any other decent work. I'm reading about 5 books concurrently right now, 1 on programming, 1 on design, 1 nonlinear fiction, 1 other fiction... ...and i have a lot of information and books about BiH (remember--Bosnia and Herzegovina--"i" means "and" in Bosnian), its history (especially the last 10 years)... if it weren't for the language training i would be consuming that stuff like crazy... funny thing is, that studying is included as part of language, but only once a week. The language training is funny actually... the tests they make FSO's take are very practical--u have to be able to speak and read, get the gist of a conversation and a newspaper article (or something) and spit it out. But the training is about getting each little case ending perfect every time--something that, in conversation, can be worked around (it's commonly known as bastardizing a language--u can understand when foreigners do it to english, right?)--it's words that cannot be faked or worked around. Another thing that i've realized about my own learning--i'm actually not bad at the grammar stuff and bad at vocab, so i shouldn't complain! I'm good when there are a few rules to remember and many diverse applications of those rules, or relationships between those rules (read: programming languages, systems, design... gee!). I'm bad when there is just a mound of crap to memorize... read: language vocab! Even english--I'm thinking the reason i've come into writing later on in my life is because it has taken me all this time to master the language! :) Actually i was into writing much earlier, but i do remember having to go to special classes in the first and second grades because i couldn't spell... Ok ciao! I mean "dobar dan"! 81694548daniel millerpublishCheck the multitude of updates all down this page... and if u haven't noticed yet there's also something that's been updated along the right --> 81633295daniel millerSunday, September 15, 2002publish<a href="http://research.yale.edu/lawmeme/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=198">LawMeme: Legal Bricolage for a Technological Age - Top Ten New Copyright Crimes</a> 81633052daniel millerpublishschedule if u r wondering where i'm at, IRL gigs are a big heavy right now. <ul><li>Yesterday (Sept 14): ALL day--Protocol class (whoooo was that FUN! :P yeah.).
