Hey Scott, If you get hold of Gullichsen, give him my regards. I haven't seen him since my days in Austin, Texas. While we dined one night at a local restaurant, I interviewed him for some public relations work I was doing in the area of virtual reality. A most…
Angel, You three timing devil… Didn't you promise the first dance to Chris Allis? And what about that fine-feathered husband of yours? We're already dancing in a virtual world. Maybe one day we'll dance with a visual interface, eh? We'll probably see each other in the real world before that…

Dear John, I love the episodes of the Freedom Fighter living on the edge of cyberspace. Your creativity and humor is a blessing. Let's channel it wisely. This whole split looks like it was a contrived deceit. Where do you guys find the time to generate so many messages? Kennedy…

Virtual World Building
Message #2949
Scott, Man, I'm really sorry I've not been in touch. But I am swamped. I really think you should give some consideration to getting a group project going with the users of your various products. It is a great way to create community spirit, encourage learning and foster growth in…
#Mail Handling
Message #145566
John, > Anyway you might want to repost to him > in case he's just picking up his own mail. Yeah, sure. The only thing that gets past me is the stuff that's posted while I'm online. And I do a good job of picking up most of that too.…
McGlassOnion, Music is the universal language. It is a reflection of the soul. As such, it reveals much about the condition of the person who enjoys a particular vein of music. It is obvious that if rap music does not appeal to you, then it does not speak to your…

Bruce, Did you mean "shittah happens?" Talk about your master plans! BOZO FILTER? Well now, I could interpret that in one of two ways. You'd like my services. Or you'd like something that doesn't exist. Of course there's many other ways to interpret things. Life is so… Kappy the Klown…
David, Regarding your questioning of Kennedy's "Bosnia Portal." What I think Sanford was saying, when he said "no comment" is this: A Bosnia portal is an option. War is an option. I don't think he was seriously advancing an argument for the continuation of blood and gore. He was saying…

John, Anything you want, I'll do. "within reason" "but I have assumed" Oh. Oh. "hopefully Kevin would re-join us in his previous capacity." What capacity is that? Klowns-R-Us? Idiot-B-Me?

Paul, Level Whatever…. ( If you are not Paul Sanford.. Please don't download this message. It is not important to you. Heck. It's not even important to Paul Sanford. I just offered to upload a list of the books that decorate my desk this week. He said Okay. So I…
Bill, " The camera therefore possibly being more "accurate", not being influenced by the post-imaging processing carried out in the brain. Of course, with modern programmable & AI cameras, that argument has less validity ." If a camera atop a tripod is triggered by the motion of a falling tree,…
Alec, Re: ( 1. Have a visible number (or letter) "tag" on each camera and spotlight so I can tell which one is which. ) What's up Mr. Forensic? If it got any easier anybody could do it, including an ignoramus such as myself. Let's hope the powers that be…

B. "Kevin's Korner…" I won't be painted into a corner. The playing field is much larger than others may be contemplating. "Demon of Excessive Verbosity" You're a riot. Thanks for putting a smile on my face. Came in most handy this morning. I lost my CMOS last night and had…
B. You are right about my parents' aversion to the music that I grew up with. But they enjoy it a lot more today then they did then. I was particularly intrigued by my mother who recently videotaped Woodstock II. Most curious. Remember, I'm 40. The original Woodstock wasn't exactly…

Hi Tyler, I was just goofing off with Jonas. In message 143372 he said he'd be logging in from Lake Tahoe over the holidays. Marcella is a very special lady in his life. We met at SIGGRAPH in Orlando. I was tempted to say his favorite dish is Chick-en Marcella.…

#EDUCATING PAUL
Message #143771
Paul, Me… Vindictive? Mean-spirited? It could certainly be interpreted that way. How many ways could I possibly say, "I love you" and yet have it interpreted in a way that is not intended. Sanford Kennedy is playing a game. He sent a message to me titled STOP IT KEVIN. He…
Paul I'd really like to meet Griffin and find out what inspired him. His inking is awesome. What's REALLY young? Check out Tales from the Tube. Murphy's in there surfing all over. Major De Ja Voodoo. OxoMoxO -k-

Bruce, Seasoned Greetings and Happy Holidays. You ever land a new writing assignment? I'm wondering if you'd be interested in a writing / editing gig. Maybe part of a team. No lazy editors allowed. "Said the Duke of Gloucester to Edward Gibbon upon the publication of his "Decline and Fall":…

Message #143569
Regarding your quest for the Sphinx. I don't know much about such things. But you might want to hit up the Jerde Partnership in Venice, CA. A few years ago, Thomas Jaggers, the CAD director there, was part of a team that recreated the Sphinx (with nose). Don't rule out…
To: G-Man From: K-Man Re: Ray-man You said to Ger-man: " Now, good luck on rayman version 2.0. " How cruel! (Laughing out loud) Besides, he might want to release 1.5 first! By the way, have you ever "eyed" the works of Rick Griffin? I'm thinking specifically "Tales from the…
