luke chapter 02 This one, this verse, is a favorite of preachers: vs 1: "... there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed." end quote. What the truth was: could be taxed. For in reality, the poor were already over taxed. But Lords like to have hills of gold and silver. So they can buy cheaply made products from Lands like China and the rest of the not at all free lands, made from slave or near slave labour. We still gotta wait to see what China does with all the silver. Smartest thing would be space technology. Anyhow. Joseph who didn't have sex with Mary till after Jesus was born, had to go to Bethlehem. That's where David was born. Like it mattered. Well, the angels do some declarations, go up a hill and tell some shepard's to go pay reverence to the new king in a manger. And this is suddenly an icon. Christ in a manger. As if it mattered. It didn't. Mark doesn't even mention the birth. Matthew has a house. Most bloody likely a relative. On account all Jews are related. So the story goes. Well, the people wondered what was the big deal. And the wise men forget to show up. But don't get hung on details. The writers knew what they were trying to do. They just weren't much like Jesus. And again, we are reminded of the Laws of Moses. As if he really existed. And was a Jew. Wrong in two cases. Because it is written. Man. That is no reason. Well, the first male from a virgin is holy. Now this only means up until when the Lord, or sometimes husband. Well, we know how it works. vs 32: A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of the people Israel." End quote. This is how it is. Sort of. Something else one must remember. War is business. vs. 35 is an interesting Quote: "(... a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. End Quote. But I won't explain. Luke tells us Simeon surprised Mary and Joseph and his mom with what they had intended for Jesus. Which, I feel I must say. Is a crock of dung. It's easy to have foresight 200 years after the fact, with churches taking over the scenery. Bla bla bla Jerusalem. Grace of God. And 12 years go by and not only has Luke dropped the silly wise men. He also dropped living in Egypt. Which is a mistake 'cause it was written in the script. He must have spilt wine on it. And when they all go home after some old ritual pilgrimage sacrifice fest and gifts to the Synagogue as per rules of Moses. They forget Jesus. And he's hanging with the priests having a chat about the pretty Torah and the blood sacrifices and the incest and genocide. And everyone is having a nice time. Two days later Mom and Dad come. "Where have you been. We thought we lost you after traveling a day." Right.

Bla Bla Bla is a sound reactive application for iPhone and iPad. This app is a little selection of an exercise called “Parametric Mask”. The exercise is a part of a one-day workshop held in December 2010 at the design department of IUAV of Venice and in February 2011 at the ISIA of Urbino. The aim of the workshop, called “Procedures of Basic Design”, is to go beyond the classic exercises about form and perception that characterize the course of Basic Design. The new exercises introduce the use of a programming language as a tool that allows to solve problems. It’s not a programming workshop, but a way to use numbers, math and logic, which permits to show objectively how we solve a design problem. Students attend the first year of a design school and have never programmed before. The programming language used in the workshop is Processing. The porting for iOs was written in Open Frameworks. lorenzobravi.com/​projects/​bla-bla-bla/​ lorenzobravi.com/​projects/​workshop-isia/​ lorenzobravi.com/​projects/​workshop-iuav/​ itunes.apple.com/​app/​bla-bla-bla/​id430815432?mt=8#
