Personnel Problems

Hey! Lookie! It’s a binturong (see Very Serious Nature, 1/21).

After a consultation with my computer guy, Dirk, and kicking around phrases like, "live window" and "alt print screen to capture,” I think I have this jpg file downloading thing going.

One of the members of the Being & Nothingness Cam Tech Team is behaving, let’s say for now, “inappropriately,” and complaining about the working conditions. He’s trying to wank on exploring the genesis of the brief image we got on the Being Cam on January 21, insisting that it’s in an alternate universe.

And, no, I’m not going to have him "spend more time with his family," like three-quarters of the Bush Administration had to. I happen to know that his family can’t stand him and vice-versa.

The Woes of Week One

This week's true woes have to do with the external, political world, and I'm not going into them. I will remain ruthlessly self-oriented and review "Probably Space Monkeys" first week.

I learned that:

1. My first postings were shaky.

2. Your Own Personal Jesus photo "contest" is inscrutable.

3. I haven't a clue how to download jpg images from the web, otherwise you would have seen a binturong (but not the binturong with the caption, "Can I has bearcat?" That's nasty).

4. There may be nothing else that smells like buttered popcorn.

5. My Being and Nothingness Cam Tech Team, while a lovely bunch of folks, is fairly edgy when it comes to any kind of electrical failure. They are not what I'd call philosophical.

6. The Nothingness Cam was not under my bed. Did everyone check their hall closets?

Being & Nothingness Cam

We were freaked out when we got this image--just a blip, really--at 3:23 am PST. We are assuming that it's from the Being part of the B&N Cam. This was a surprise, because we weren't sure that the Being cam existed, nor do we know where it's located.

Being & Nothingness Camera Problems

This is the way the world works. Yesterday was the on-line debut of the B&N Cam and last night we had a super-major storm (you can hear the bluffs talking amongst themselves trying to figure out where and when they will tumble into the Pacific).

Now, as you can see, the B&N cam is dead until we figure out what the problem is. Sorry.

Being and Nothingness Cam

Watch the B&N Cam for up-to- the- minute jumping off points for your philosophical arguments.

Currently, the Nothingness cam is (choose one):
1. Under my bed
2. At the edge of our galaxy next to that little, you know, pointy white thing
3. In your hall closet

Being is not involved in this particular post.
