Having a *really* hectic week but thought I'd drop by to let you all know, in case you don't yet, that Suzanne Vega has a new album out. (I'm a huge fan and I've been waiting five years for this.) It's called "Songs in Red and Gray" and samples can be heard here.
She's such a wonderful lyricist too...I'd love to tell you more about it but
"...these words are too solid, they don't move fast enough...to catch the blur in the brain that flies by and is gone."
("Language" - Solitude Standing)
Linkage: Like any other child in the70's, I went through an Atari phase but the last time I was ever really addicted to any electronic game was back when Castlevania 3 on the FamiCom was considered hip... Meanwhile, Calvin proceeded to explore the video gaming world, moving from the Super NES to Sega Saturn to Playdia to PSX to Dreamcast to whatever he's planning to blow his allowance on next. (Well, he does have the added 'power' of being able to read and understand Japanese, having spent junior high in Japan).

My brother Calvin introduced Arnold and me to modem gaming just this weekend. Tsk I've been so out of the loop and am still struggling to catch up on the new titles since the only games I played regularly in the past 3 years are Parappa, Jet Set Radio, and lately, Rush 2049. 
Links I stole from his site: The fine print at the bottom reads Merry Christmas from John and Yoko. This billboard loomed over Duffy Square in December of 1998. I took the photo while waiting for my turn in line at TKTS (which, sadly, also had an outlet at the WTC). The optimism was both inspiring and reassuring back then, and so it breaks my heart to see something like this right now (c/o Brooklyn Kid). Still relevant:
• Game FAQs
• Game Software Code Creator Sites
• Game Combos
