This is very cool. Flickr photos, as they are posted, worldwide.

CozmiKast Archive

Posted in ear candy, shameless plugs by Marcus Del Greco on February 6th, 2007

Fans of CozmiKast have long suffered a lack of access to past episodes. Due to the disk space limit on our webhost, we can only offer between 5 and 10 of the latest shows for download at any given time.

The suffering has ended. Thanks to Tim, DynDNS.com, my D-Link router, Damn Small Linux and my old Compaq Armada 1700 that used to run Windows 95, the complete CozmiKast archive is now online. That’s right. All 39 episodes (by latest count) that you can’t get on cozmikast.com. They’re being served up from underneath my audio rack right here in the studio. [NOTE: you can get them on cozmikast.com actually, but they are being hosted from the Archive.]

The power fails often up here in Alton, NH, though, so if the archive is ever down, check back the next day. And thanks for listening to CozmiKast. I know it’s an effort sometimes. ;)

RAW Energy

Posted in book learnin', dear diarrhea, shameless plugs by Marcus Del Greco on January 12th, 2007

Robert Anton Wilson, immensely loved and influential in the extended countercultural community, died yesterday. Words cannot describe RAW, but he came closer to describing the indescribable in his own writings than anyone before him.

He was the model of the post-dogmatic Individual. I never knew him, but will miss him greatly.

Thanks to RAMROzi for the pointer to these guys. Wait till you have time, and check out the whole 5 minutes of this, in kick-back mode.

The Condition You Describe

Posted in ear candy, shameless plugs by Marcus Del Greco on October 23rd, 2006

Check out this old tune of mine that RAMrozi and I hauled out and recorded. We did a demo of it for the RPM Challenge and later thickened out the horn arrangement and added backing vocals. Jamie from the Rhythm Ship substituted our machine beat with natural drums.

Good old Cozmik Corkscrew lives on. Hopefully soon we’ll get a visit from Black Hoxie, who is rumoured to be working on a “best of” CozmiKast’s 1st year!

Jessica and I have started a marriage blog!  If you think we get into trouble individually, imagine the trouble we can make together.  Check it out:

Don’t “worry”, the Garden’s not going anyhwere.  LOL

New Favorite Feed Aggregator: Vienna

Posted in geek out, shameless plugs by Marcus Del Greco on October 6th, 2006

Thanks again to Tim: I’ve finally found a feed aggregator/reader that does all the things I want it to, including allowing me to delete feed items just like old emails.  Vienna is Mac OSX only, but man, is it good.  Embedded browser, one-click subscribing, folders and smart folders, OPML import/export, update scheduling, Atom/RSS support, favicon display… yum.  Can you say “Open at Login”?

Vienna

Strongly recommended!

Thunderbird, you lose, for now.  I liked the idea of not having to run a separate app for feeds, but, Thunderbird just doesn’t cut it next to Vienna.

Mindfest 2006 Pseudo Press Release

Posted in shameless plugs by Marcus Del Greco on July 7th, 2006

True Believers!

Tickets for Mindfest 2006 are now on sale at
http://www.mindfest.org/tickets.html

This year it’s $25 per vehicle, so pack your people in! Clown cars welcome. As parking/camping space is limited, so are tickets, so get them soon.

The event is August 11-13 in Middleton, NH. Directions are on the website.

Our host band, The Rhythm Ship, has recruited twelve other musical acts to join them in a three-day celebration of peace, music, and minds. We are expecting more vendors this year, too. See the whole lineup!
http://www.mindfest.org/lineup.html

Mindfest is a grassroots festival, and as always we will demonstrate our respect for each other
and Mother Earth. It is the most basic and enjoyable of demonstrations. :)

See you there!

Marcus

Takes like, a minute. Not nearly as long as listening to CozmiKast.

Snakes On A Plane

What a sensation. I haven’t wanted to see a film on opening night in a long time.

Snakes On A Plane.

I love it.

2008

Posted in shameless plugs by Marcus Del Greco on March 14th, 2006

I’m getting kind of excited for the next presidential election: time for a change.

This image keeps coming to mind, over and over again, when I think about 2008.

Like the Clintons or not, see if this image doesn’t stick in your mind, too.
