Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.<br /><br><br />I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further advances, the possibility of transferring our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could see in my lifetime.<br /><br><br />(Posted on Nintendo DS running [url=http://cryst4lxbands.livejournal.com/398.html]R4[/url] DS FFOpera)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000823728641791312.post-25353640793454558472008-09-03T08:06:00.000-07:002008-09-03T08:06:00.000-07:00Thought you'd like this, from a comment here:http:...Thought you'd like this, from a comment here:<BR/>http://www.danwei.org/2008_beijing_olympic_games/the_giant_ear_of_corn_at_the_c.php<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>To put it into the ever-popular "Mastercard" format:<BR/><BR/>Bottles of water (so you don't sweat to death): 6 kuai<BR/><BR/>Nose-bleed seats: 800 kuai<BR/><BR/>Huge impressive "human flame" gantry: Millions of RMB<BR/><BR/>Playing "Whole Lotta Love" at full volume 50 yards away from the assembled Central Committee: Priceless.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08951885550814609773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000823728641791312.post-674755763122041832008-08-25T21:48:00.000-07:002008-08-25T21:48:00.000-07:00I think it would've been cooler if they got the St...I think it would've been cooler if they got the Stones to play Sympathy for the Devil.

Gotta check that tomorrrow" But as John Fogarty sang, "Tomorrow never comes.." Heh. <BR/><BR/>My bad, as the kids say. Thanks for the correction and kind comments, my friend.

It sure looks like a Gibson Jimmy Page Signature model... see http://members.tripod.com/gtrkev/guitars/jimmy_page_body.jpg<BR/><BR/>I gotta say I was a little surprised (as it sounds you were also) to see that the British Olympic Organizing Committee chose Mr. Page as their representative to set the tone of 2012. I would have thought someone along the lines of McCartney or Elton John would have been a safer choice. Perhaps they were busy working. Why not Keith Richards or Gary Glitter. Gary's probably not too busy these days.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, good takes on the Beijing scene from a back alley. It was a scene all too overlooked by the mainstream media.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
