Taste the Rainbow; Count the Rainbow

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

Finally!  Ha, here’s the full list of my synnethesic digits/colors.  Here are 0-9, and the colors that go with them.  The way I see them, it’s like one of those optical illusions where you either see the two face-sillouettes, or the vase.  The colors are there, or not there, or rather, and there, all at the same time.  Generally speaking, numbers that are made from multiple digits, are made from multiple colors, they don’t blend, though the percentage of color visible in a multi-digit number depends upon the number.  These colors are as close as I could get them, trying to get them to show up correctly on the web is a bit of a challenge.  Enjoy.  Imagine these colors as a permanent part of every number you see.  You get used to it, I suppose, since I can’t really imagine what it would be like without them,.

Wheres the Cos?

Monday, September 4th, 2006

Since I’m a sophisticated person, I listen to jazz.  Lately, my local NPR station has ben airing the 28th Annual Playboy Jazz Festival from the Hollywood Bowl.  It’s a good way to hear who’s still current in the genre.  As far as I can remember back, Bill Cosby has been the host, he did the promo spots, he’d introduce the acts, it was a big deal that he was on board, being a jazz sophisticate like myself.  Last year and now this year, though, the cos hasn’t been heard on air.  I don’t get it.  Does it tarnish his family image?  Is he getting too old for radio?  Does he not want to be associeted with jazz anymore?  I’m confused.  If you listen to the program, you hear about him all throughout.  He’s cracking up the musicians, meeting and schmoozing, it’s just his voice that is absent.Â
