Quicktime version of White Rabbit by Justin Waddell, aka Bunny
(longish load time is worth it)...
JW/Bunny's notes copied from earlier post:
"Or, to go back from the simplified illustration to general relativity: A point in spacetime (an event) is defined only by what physically happens at it, not by its location according to some special set of coordinates. The physics does not depend on what lattice you choose."
"It is not the object used but rather the use of the object" - DW Winnicott
"I'm hunting wabbit. huh.huh.huh.huh." - E. Fudd
One might think with all the nationalism going round these days a little culture spending might slip under the radar, but apparently museums, especially the smallish regional ones, are as expendable as women's rights.
Dear Friends,
I have just read and signed the online petition:
"Save Museums!"
hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition
service, at:
http://www.PetitionOnline.com/MapCuts/
I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing yourself.
Best wishes,
Sally McKay
My old friend Bunny sent me these video stills with the following note (he also sent me a quicktime version of the video and I love it a lot, but I'm not going to post it until I get off my butt and ask permission):
Here are my two cents on background. I made this video last year. it is called white rabbit.

Donna Kane has posted some great photos from our Muskwa-Kechika adventure on her site, including a painting by fellow participant Deryk Houston that totally rocks. I stared at that view from the top of that mountain, but it is a whole new experience, and stunning, to see it again through Deryk's eyes. I can't wait to see the real painting.
My friends James and Laurie sent me this link to "Make Love, not Warcraft," saying, "it is the best South Park Ever." I think they are right.
Speaking of Warcraft, I logged on to Second Life for the first time and probably last time this week. I didn't want to spend any money, which makes it pretty boring. Also my computer is a tad slow and so I was mostly wandering around in grey slabs of un-textured architecture trying to imagine how lovely the world would be if all the pretty colours and lighting effects were rendering properly. I amused myself by creating a fat guy my own age for an avatar. All the cute skinny people reacted pretty strongly, and I got lots of cat-calls and overheard lots of rude/puzzled comments. That was fun for awhile, but not fun enough.
