Some of the changes and shifts in concepts and scope that have passed through Industrie Toulouse have brought out some new classifications.
- Informd
- Informational entries about Industrie Toulouse, its author, its rules, its regulations, its import/export habits. While one would hope man could find his way without a guide, history and industry continue to dash said hopes.
- Photo Anyday
- First, I want to preserve a link to the LS4 Party Photos entry - snapshots of one night of lux life here at The Meredith Street Studio. Second, this is my way of unofficially participating in Photo Friday, which I came across as I wandered into the Photo Friday Japan webring, which I came across in my search for a Baby Holga, which I came across for reasons unremembered.
- Perfect and Unbelievable Hearsay
- Word virus. Exploration of ve ah'Ski and ve klihnn. Sound experiments (beyond or being ancillary to those in the sound design archives). Stories and memory fragments. The results of this I hope to someday combine into Laa 5 or into some other publishable format.
And because the pictures from the Luxury Spring 2004 launch event are so pretty {even though the camera spent a good part of the evening hiding in a ski boot}, I present them here again. Both pictures are linked to the full album.
There have been some changes, gradual and immediate both, here at Industrie Toulouse. There is a new chain of entries that are more prosaic in nature than the technical and political posts of the past. That's not to say that that the technical/political will stop, but there are better pens and voices than mine and I want neither to just regurgitate links nor to go off on half cocked rants {if for no other reason than that is usually much better to go off whole cocked, according to A Bit Of Fry And Laurie}. Further, while I am having fun at work, there's barely enough time to actual work on the technical bits, let alone write about them.
The graphic design of the site has been updated to reflect this prosaic nature. It also allows individual entries to render nicely as full pages in news readers like NetNewsWire. Fonts are larger and darker. There's a new category dedicated to the new writings. But there's a fairly big part of me wanting more.
A rain walk through the city to the office this morning. My heart, as usual, was in an anywhere-but-here mode (rain in cities raises memories of Philadelphia and stapled pain pricks in coffee shops). On the other side of the tunnel, the thoughts converged on the breath and memories of the Blavatsky books I started reading so long ago. This contrasted nicely with the breath changes brought about by tonal shifts.
What happened to Gina, and why did I not make a better application of her? My experiences with environment manufacture could no doubt be improved with what she could have taught me (on top of what else she volunteered).
Where now those books?
Three copies of Laa 3 remain. As for me, my next purchase will be The Hafler Trio's Normally. My experience with the trilogy in three parts (as well as the older unfinished trilogy, of which Andrew's been documenting as well as the reasons for the delay in the third part) has been substantial.
