Silly questions for Paul
-
oooh! Is that the sun with the iron ions? It is soooo cool looking! Thanks so much for letting us all groove on your sun! Yes, it is my way to "step into the unknown" as you were mentioning Opus. LOL! I usually come out just fine too! I suppose you do the same?
-
Hey Paul! I want to know if you really were in Sycamore, Illinois recently?????
-
Yeah, that's the Iron ionic one, note the occasional flare that shows up ... still thinking that I prefer the Helium one. Although I'm pretty sure that either would look fine in this subblack mode. And yes, I definitely am one that is more than willing to venture into those unknown regions ... and land on my feet (well generally on my feet ... aside from the occasional face first landing ). How 'bout you Paul, are you up for the unknown these days or are you a little indifferent at the moment???
-
OPUS...............I really like your avatar image..........its the BOMB!!! If I was more PC literate I would have something similar for mine.
-
Uhhhh ... thanks Rona.

Say Paul Do you like chocolate all over you ice cream. love doris.
-
Have you ever opened a box of Cracker Jacks merely for the prize Paul??
-
I am loving that iron ion sun too much! I wish I had one here at home. Man, wouldn't it be cool if you had a house and throughout it were images like that? You know like revolving artwork! oh! That would be the best! Yeah those flashes are so cool! The helium one, blue, is very beautiful as well. I do like the blue best, if I HAD to choose. I bet Paul would like freaky planet artwork all over his place? Would ya Paul?

You know I went to a holograph exhibit once down in California that was totally interactive. There was this one picture that was on the wall that if you stood right in front of it appeared to merely be an image of a lighthouse with a ship off in the distance ... however if you came at it the "right way" you'd be able to see a spyglass that extended out from the wall. You could then position yourself to "look through" that spyglass and "see" a magnified version of the lighthouse and ship in the distance. The funny thing was watching people at a distance as they jockeyed for position (to get the spyglass in the proper consideration of themselves) because it really looked like they were just doing some freaky dance in front of a wall. You had to come up on 'em to see the spyglass extending out from the picture and get the sense that they were actually doing something that was a good deal more rational that it first appeared. They also had this full-sized holograph of Dizzy Gillespie that if you walked past it would turn and wink at you and then pull up the horn that he had in his hand. He'd put the horn to his lips and then his cheeks would expand out (in that signature horn blower distortion of his) and then he'd lower it and wink. Totally cool exhibit ... ended up buying some prism glasses and some prism type discs that you could spin and get some 3-D effects from. Those glasses could certainly adjust the most dower of outlooks, I even made a friend of mine wear them during labor (she was driving her husband nuts at the time ... so I came in and plopped those glasses on her and told her to "chill out" ... so her first child was born while she was wearing these freaky spectacles that showed everything all refracted like a lightshow). Do you like holograms Paul? ... and LOVEWOLVES I'm thinking you have a pretty cool idea with populating a place with some sort of multi-dimensional artwork. That'd be way cool, if done in a tasteful manner. I mean especially if they kind of changed with the rooms lighting or phases of the sun's position over the course of the day, or whatnot .... As I understand it Bill Gates' home up in Redmond has something kind of sort of like that. Evidently they've programmed the place for different lighting for each of the inhabitants of the house so that when they walk into the room the lighting changes to fit whomever is walking through the rooms own preference. Of course I'm not quite sure how it works out if they're all together (i.e. the whole family in attendance), I'd presume it might be a little "rock, paper, scissors" or something ... with Bill (or perhaps his wife??) always being the one that trumps everyone else's choice. Or who knows ... maybe they have a "family time" setting in place to cover that sort of event. Regardless it's an interesting way to deal with the atmospherics of the place I suspect.

Say Paul Have you ever baked a cherry pie plain or with honey? love doris

How does you garden grow? (more of a slightly lame question, but that's all I got at the moment )
-
Opus, trippy! Remember how we were talking about numbers that are special and such? Your post I just read saying, "How does your garden grow?" was post number 324! You don't know, and it isn't important to you, but that is a very significant number to me. Far-out huh? Yes, multi-dimensional artwork, exp. the interactive artwork, would be very nice. It would have to be tastefully done as you said to avoid the "blacklight poster effect!" LOL! Paul do you ever plant flowers? I think it would be nice if you planted a special little plant, it would make you happy don't cha think? Oh, I think holograms are so very groovy!
-
Oh me oh my ... sometimes it's difficult to leave things alone out here, even if what had been left was something that amused me in a moment. How are your editorial skills Paul?
-
Say Paul do you do windows. love doris.

Opus, tomorrow night, Jan. 09th on the History Channel they are gonna show "Man, Moment, Machine: Galileo and the Sinful Spyglass." About the invention of Galileo's telescope in 1610 and Galileo's subsequent clash with the Catholic Church. I don't know if I have seen this program before. I am a History channel junkie. Anyway, thought you might like it. Paul do you like The History Channel?

Paul do you like a harvest moon. love doris

Paul, do you like chocolate?

Thanks for reminding of that program, I was planning on catching it myself but have gotten a little messed up by the cable switchover in my area. All the channels have been rearranged by that, and although I've got this 'menu +' option that my TV is capable of handling, it's not working with the new channel lineup. This is totally having an impact upon my occasional channel surfing pastime ... how can one be an effective couch potato if one can't quickly determine the 10 shows that one wants to watch at the same time??? Which leads me to the latest silly question (oh boy!): Paul do you channel surf??? Or do you have any interest in the TV in general ... not quite sure if you've got the same excesses we have here in the US. We've got way too many channels. By the way LOVEWOLVES, yes I totally dig the History channel, Discovery channel, PBS stations, A&E ... basically anything like that. Although I do occasionally get stuck in a news overload routine, and then it's all about CNN, MSNBC, and now I suppose FOX-News too (since that's been added). Although as I've previously stated I can't rightly figure out where any of these things are anymore and I have to relearn it every time I turn the darned thing on ... 'cause I rarely get over to it much these days.
