stray thoughts

The best way to get a message out there into the zeitgeist would be to have a short video presenting the idea, and then to hack into the Tivo and Time Warner DVR system and just have the video falsely label as a new airing of a selection of, say, two or three very popular shows. you could have the DVR machines falsely believe your video is a fresh episode of, say, '24' or 'heroes' or 'dancing with the stars', and then have the thing be recorded at night (the way these DVRs work is that they automatically search for tags indicating a particular show and whether it's a first-run of the episode) so nobody notices the recording happening. then, when people go to see what's stored intheir DVR, they'll see that there's an extra entry and they'll get curious and watch the video you've put up.

Pop Iris and I haev a running list of fake words. This includes things like "secondly"(hers-- shoudl just be "second") and "existing"(mine-- real word is "extant"). I have a new one. "purposely".

The word people mean when they say "purposely" is "purposefully".
