In a time before the Prius, the custom conversion van ruled the roadways.
Pushing the
boundaries of the airbrush form, testing the limits of
mobile interior design, featuring the latest in
automatic pink leather bed,
compact toaster, 8-track, and
love machine technology, the 70s van was celebrated in
song and
cinema. You started with
a factory model, new or used, and ended at a place limited onlyby your creativity, your budget, and your
old lady's patience (NSFW). Ford could
make you a man.If push came to shove, you could even
live in your van. It was fantasy on wheels:
van-tastic, man.

The Falling Sand Game
is an engrossing but hard-to-describe online toy/game that lets you create environments using falling streams of sand, water, oil, and salt by adding fire, plants, clay, and other substances. Inspired by
The Falling Sand Game are a number of variations, such as
PyroSand, featuring many kinds of explosives, and
Hell of Sand, with little people who you can torture. One of the most interesting versions is
The Powder Game, which lets you paint with superballs, adjust air pressure, and build
very satisfying volcanoes and gardens. For even more,
WxSand [downloadable .exe] is a Windows version with lots more options and many
interesting mods.
[Games are Java applets and are incredibly addictive, especially The Powder Game]

Attention: Los Angles(L.A.) I'm flying in and staying around the airport and working near the Staples center for a few days. I'd like to organize a meet up and meet some American mefites.
If some one would be so kind as to pick a place and time I would love to show up and tell you stories about Canada or something.

On This Day Pre-Y2K
In conjunction with my recently released novel about Y2K anxiety, I'm maintaining this retroblog. It offers a small daily dose of the doomsaying about the Y2K bug that was circulating online last millennium, from today's date in 1999. There are also some
notes on the sources of the material and a
glossary of jargon frequently used by the "Y2K-aware."

Another Christmas nugget (see also
this post) from Sovereign Brass. Like the other tune, I arranged the music and played tuba.

A great arrangement of a classic tune by the Sovereign Brass, an all-brass quintet, which was an impromptu thing between my friends and I to spread some Christmas cheer and create a few new arrangements of some old chestnuts.
