    Default i wish i had known....

    i wish i had known this man. i think we are kindred spirits across space and time.

    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    ... remembers me on my first DIY-"light-pen" for my C-64 -- essential a photo-transistor in a pen and right timing vs. the horizontal/vertical syncing of the electron beam

    “To get emotionally involved creatively at the computer is not easy. One considerable problem has to do with the matter of real time.”
