Just had an incredible evening...

Tim Leary spoke at Holy Cross, here in lovely Worcester MA. Sure he was 2hrs
late, but so what, it was well worth the wait. 

The man is awesome. He has got to be the most upbeat, intelligent person I've
seen. And listening to him you find it hard to believe he is 73... It was
great. 

He talked for ~1-1/2 hrs, talking about the information age. And using 
technology to reprogram your brain. The value of video games and self-selection
of images. The need for iconographic language to remove the barriers to world
communication. 

The man really has his shit together.

And then a few (5-6) of us decided to follow Tim to the pub in the basement.

It was fucking fantastic. An hour spent talking to Tim about computers, video,
the networks, drugs, law, etc. Just like a couple of friends, kicking back
with some beer.

Yes I'm hyped. All the stuff I've heard/read about him, his history, ideas, etc
are nothing compared to a few hours listening to him and talking with him.

He never steps back from the leading edge. He has a company, Futique, which is
the opposite of Antique, which is looking into producing interactive CD-Roms 
for modifying your mind. He is really into interactive technology and computers
now. And he's right there, working on tommorrow. 

He really is impressive.

All in all a great way to spend an evening. See him if you get the chance. He
travels about giving talks from time to time.
