I went to the opening of Conversations, a painting exhibit curated by Roberto Chabet at the Art Walk. This is a once a year exhibition by Finale, a leading gallery that show casing post-modernism works. It is a reunion of sort for most of artist were once under the helm of Mr. Chabet at UP Fine Arts.

I saw Romeo Lee who was mislabelled as the ukay-ukay king. He doesn't have any work this year, but last year he had the whole wall of the rear room facing EDSA with his work work mostly about himself. As usual Gerry Tan, Nilo Ilarde, Juan Alcazaren and Bubbles De Leon are there with works that are truly imaginative, product of beautiful minds.

Francine Medina handed me a copy of Flip, a magazine which she edited with Jessica Zafra, the official magazine for the Filipinos' agenda for world domination as envisioned by Zafra herself. Its the magazine first issue so I have a collectors item at hand and I hope I can put this on the bidding block in the future, once its agenda is done.

I hate the tech columnist for declaring Mac as the computer for world denomination. He boasted that Flip office is an oasis in the dessert of Mac. His partly right, the magazine has very good layout and to which he failed to thanks the Pinoy artists who did well with their job while much praise were given to Steve Jobs. See, how could we dominate the world with such thinking, maybe Jessica should rethink with her position for this guy.

Well Mac is pretty damn good computer but definitely it will not survive the riguer of the long protracted struggle for world denomination. We will not win this war with an oozing cute pod that geekless can work at ease. This is a serious breach of security and a 3 year old clown of the geekette sachac is enough to hack it. Linux is still the best OS for world denomination, no cute pod needed, no less imaginative GUI needed and simple Intel architecture to work with.

MacOS X is pretty damn good thing but if only they will open its source I'm quite sure gnu cc can compile it and port it to simple Intel architecture. Well X will be a debutant in a few years and the graphics engine of MacOSX is really the future. I hope GNUStep will be a realization soon, but heck my Linux is pretty rock solid running on less annoying X, and infact MacOS is pretty well emulated in my KDE desktop.

Yes I'm a great Apple fan too, got a first taste of Apple in the early 80s, running on 8k, without fdd, hdd and only cassette tape to save my data. But its pretty good, a multi-media machine already, it can play the Gettysburg Address with Abe Lincon voice and too powerful for pacman and donkey dong. No BSOD either.

Enough.

You are 31% geek



You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with
normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as
friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal
people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact,
you can make a good deal of money as a translator.
Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.

You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you
can squeeze more outta them engines!

Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more
dilithium crystals!

You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

31% Not even my love for the jonh coltrane, Miles Davis & Brian Eno made me a
