I play music that is old and that is new. Some of it is digital while some is analog. It is from many different countries; sometimes it is loud and at other times it is quiet.

Useless stock trivia: Not uncommon for Microsoft to be called Mister Softee by traders, some of whom in the roaring 90s may have nicked out of their day-trading office for a vanilla cone or two during periods of weak volatility.

Hi Mayuko & All-

I just saw this in the New York Times and couldn't resist passing it along:

‘Pop Goes the Weasel’ at Carnegie Hall
"On Wednesday, as patrons were heading into Carnegie Hall for the Met Orchestra’s Mahler program, a big ice cream truck pulled up on 57th Street and parked right near the entrance to the hall. The vendor switched on the truck’s prerecorded jingle: a tinkling, out-of-tune, rhythmically jittery version of “Pop Goes the Weasel.” Not what you want to hear before the “Titan” Symphony."

Looks like ce cream trucks muscling-in on the classical music industry now!

northguineahills:

Even in NYC, I ate ice cream all year (and I'm lactose intolerant). I remember visiting my grandparents in WV for Xmas as a kid and being disappointed and confused that the Dairy Cream was closed for the winter. The one in my neighborhood down south was open all year.

A few months ago I was trying to make a list of some quintessential elements of high summer - the smell of ice cream drippings on a hot sidewalk an hour after the truck has passed was one. Seems gross but one of the things that means summer to me. I was going to take that list and try to gin up some sort of rambling W.G. Sebald type essay with them. Still on the "to-do" list

Aside from the soft-serve, what did folks usually get from ice cream trucks as kids or older-than-kids? I tended to go for snow cones or those ice cream popsicles with the white and pink crumbled-up things.

Well, in two weeks I finally have a face-to-face interview for hydrology/soil science environmental firm. I only applied for it in February and have had 3 phone interviews.

today's comment's board looks weirdly 3D. The white letters pop up and the black ones stay in the ground.

I remembered reading Rudy Rucker's sci-fi book "Software," which has a sinister Mister Softee truck run by some kind of artificial inteligent gang that kidnaps people and takes their software from the hardware brain. I don't remember the story so well but the human bodies are discarded, but their mind is sucked into the AI pool or something like that.

Read part of Jason's posted article (hard to read while you dog walk), read other stuff of a similar vein. We're all hopelessly addicted, sugar is in almost everything. Went on a "detox diet" 2 summers ago, made it through, but wound up back in my regular "poisons" little by little (caffeine was the last back...
