hi john.

the more 'edges' i receive, the more i like getting to know you.

your friend's phrases beg to be interactive. --one a day. --or randomly inserted into your document as you type. --or, as audio, when you do a certain action, or at a certain time. (etc)

i shut animatrix down friday (after 14 years). it feels GREAT. well, i have one personal project in development, but that's it. NO MORE SERVICE work.

will be teaching at stanford in the fall. interactive design (in the engineering dept). i'm opening the class with the words on lefty o'doul's tombstone.

"he was here at a good time and he had a good time when he was here".

hope it applies to your thoughts of your friend.

thinking of you, marney

Dear John,

I enjoyed your writing on Jamie Lee Byars. Heinz (Pagels) took me to one of his openings once, where he sat statue-like in silk suit and black blindfold. Heinz proceeded to heckle and insult him until he got some choice responses. I was entertained.

Yours,

-Seth

I liked your personal remarks on James Lee Byars a lot, I regret even more now that I did not happen to know him.

all the best
