[18:13:31 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> C++ is a crazy language
[18:13:46 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> a good skill to learn, but don't let it rot your brain
[18:14:10 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> anyway, I should run
[18:14:42 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> no prob
[18:14:45 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> good talk
[18:14:45 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> I have 100 pages of Baudrillard to read tonight
[18:14:50 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> yeah, always nice to chat
[18:14:52 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> ohhh quickly
[18:14:54 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> before you run
[18:14:55 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> let me know if you do any visualization stuff
[18:14:57 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> yep
[18:15:20 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> http://www.amazon.com/Counterculture-Cyberculture-Stewart-Network-Utopianism/dp/0226817423
[18:15:26 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> and

[18:15:56 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> two books on my shelf right now
[18:16:22 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> Ah, yes. Jeron Lanier
[18:17:41 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> Paul Demarinis suggested CounterCulture to cyberculture
[18:17:51 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> the Lanier one was from a reading David had me do last year
[18:21:08 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> Say hi to Mayank for me if you see him tonight
[18:21:18 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> I'm really impressed with his progress

[18:21:49 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> be well, and again thanks for the lesson
[18:22:08 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> You should get this Schmickler album sometime if you're in the mood for some crazy computer music: http://editionsmego.com/release/eMEGO+113

[18:22:35 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> which might resonate with you as you learn all the techniques
