    The Zen of riding a bike would be to become none with the bike.

    Heh.

    That's me. I do Zen bike riding all the time. I've progressed so
    far, I no longer need the bike.

    Time magazine's recent poll (Jan. 24-26, 2006) found 74
    percent favor
    "major penalties" on employers of illegals, and 70
    percent
    believe
    illegals increase the likelihood of terrorism.
    Fifty-seven
    percent
    would use military force at the Mexican-American border.

    The fact that there are loads of [censored] does not make you
    a
    [censored].
    Your own actions determine that.

    Don't shoot the messenjah...

    You're the one advertising a website like that. Ask
    yourself - are you the [censored] or the [censored]?

    Heh.

    That's me. I do Zen bike riding all the time. I've progressed so far, I
    no longer need the bike.

    Ah. You're a fish.

    There is no bike.
    There is no ride.


    There is no pain.
    There is no gain.

    Your art isn't bad, but no real /production/... You need to be
    more prolific, or perhaps there's more?

    There are 13 volumes containing 1000+
    pages of illuminated manuscripts.
    Scanning them is quite a task and I'm in no hurry.

    The electronic/digital quality to the sound clips

    It makes http://www.dubreq.com/stylophone_past.php
    sound like http://www.berliner-philharmoniker.de/en/home/
    in comparison.

    I have some slideshows: http://Art.Here.nu
