-- Voltaire
Experimental and fun; electromagnetic and dream-like. Happiness First. Focus on What You Want. Life is a Dream. What You Focus on Becomes Real.

Mac OS 7.6 Instruction Manual
This is my instruction manual for my Apple Performa 6400 purchased in April 1997. What was cool was that it was "internet ready", which sold me on it.

A man who knows how to live
Master Po: He who knows how to live need not fear death. He can walk without fear of rhino or tiger. He will not be wounded in battle.
Young Kwai Chang Caine: How can this be?
Master Po: In him the rhino can find no place to thrust his horn. The tiger, no place to use his claws. And weapons, no place to pierce.
Young Kwai Chang Caine: Why is this so?
Master Po: Because a man who knows how to live, has no place for death to enter.

Clockwork Universe, Time, Reality and Great Filmmakers
The clockwork universe we were taught about by parents primarily — but importantly by friends and the mainstream voices in the media … does not exist. Sorry.
The best filmmakers know this. That’s why their films are so astounding and soul wrenching. If film is a subversive art, then film by these great filmmakers are subverting the clockwork universe one generation at at time.

Laura (1944)
Laura (1944)
Directed by Otto Preminger
A classic film noir masterpiece.
“Film noir is known for its convoluted plots and arbitrary twists, but even in a genre that gave us The Maltese Falcon, this (Laura) takes some kind of prize … That Laura continues to weave a spell—and it does—is a tribute to style over sanity”
Rober Ebert, Film Critic

The Hughes Brothers
Albert and Allen Hughes, Filmmakers
(Allen Hughes) “The elements have to be right for us to make a movie. If there’s one personality off in that room and, you know, we’ll bow out gracefully. The material doesn’t speak to us on an emotional level - it can be an action movie, it can be great but, you know, it needs to speak to us.
And there will not be another nine years, but I can guarantee one thing, for me - and I’m sure Albert will agree - is that we’re connoisseurs of life. And in between each movie, we go out of our way to actually observe life and interact with real people. And we don’t live in the buffer zone of valet cars and lunches in Hollywood, this, that and the other. So, I think the movies will get better over time. They won’t get worse.”
