If you get really bored, feel free to call up the voicemail to Weezy
and The Swish. But why should you call up? Good question. Probably to
help us get to the bottom of a serious poll. Ummmm, I just read about
green evangelists, evangelists for the environment. They're behind the
controversial website
What Would Jesus Drive?
I think that's a wonderful question to kick things off. Here's my
answer: I think he'd drive a convertible 1999 Mazda Miata with a bumper
sticker that read, "If you can read this you're too close" in the back.
I can totally see him in a Hawaiian shirt, shorts and Birkenstocks
driving along the PCH with his hair blowing behind him, former blind
guy sitting next to him.
What do you think? Call , post your response or do both.
In
other news, following the indirect advice of Weezy, I went out and got
Cool Edit Pro so I can learn to do some sound editing. I can now add
this program to all the others I want to learn--HTML, Photoshop and
Dreamweaver. It's supposed to be really simple to use, very intuitive.
I suspect it's probably very intuitive. And if I am, in fact, correct,
it follows that I am the opposite of intuitive. Either that or I don't
possess the same level of patience most technical folk do when tackling
new projects. A good friend of mind is a self-taught computer
consultant, very bright. His wife told me that he'd spend as much as
six hours tinkering with a problem until he figured it out. I was blown
away. I typically give up after fifteen minutes on a problem. Then
again, it probably would have taken me much longer than six hours to
figure out the same problem, but it put things in perspective for me.
All right, I've got to get back to learning all these wonderful things. Maybe in 10 years I'll have figured one of 'em out.
