Adam and Evil

While riding the subway into Manhattan this morning, I saw an advertisement from Apple about music.  The advertisement angered me.

1s and 0s is NOT music, Apple.  Music can be represented in a computer, but is not the actual music.  Digital    is false music.  The human brain is forced to fill in the music as it cannot be accurately represented in a computer.  I do not care how many 9s are placed in the between.  Just as a computer simulation is not reality, so as a digital recording is not reality.

Bit off too much of the apple

Am I a pod?


Was that a bad apple?  j/k

The Brotherhood of Badasses

Now, I did not invent this name, I was declared its King and leader by the one who did.  The Brotherhood of Badasses is a complex thing that has roots in Buddhism and monasteries.

For one, it is a loose translation into English.  The original Thai is difficult to translate into English.

Right now there are only a few levels of the Brotherhood:

acolyte
apprentice
master

The Brotherhood is one of self designation and recognition.  One MAY designate themselves as affiliated with the Brotherhood of Badasses if one wishes, however, MUST say they are only affiliated and as an acolyte only and be VERY clear about the communication.  Otherwise, there will be consequences.

An apprentice is one who has a master or teacher.  One cannot choose a teacher.  The teacher must accept one as their apprentice.

Many and most people affiliated with the Brotherhood of Badasses will never reach the state of master.  Perhaps other designations will be made at a later time, but for now there are the 3.  Plus a Grand master and the King/Leader (me).

While it is called the Brotherhood of Badasses, it is open to females as well.

I am not accepting any apprentices as my 4 year old son Kohdee is my only apprentice.  Well, his mother is also, but only through loose affiliation and not as direct.  I am open to other female apprentices, but have my hands full with Kohdee on the male side.
