stupdi dumb pretty test results highspeed negatgive echo mountain echo in 
the middle 10000 stralings in stupid neggative starling echo then nice at 
the end there's landscape sublime Kantian quite nice in relation oh and 
some good effects at 250 miles an hour driving it might be faster than 
that can't keep track in any case what's beyond the surface of these 
things nothing nothing nothing it's going to go on youtube as well but the 
birds will be lost a bit, not know where to go, what happens when a bird's 
devoured by compression, it disappears forever, not like those tv programs 
where everything's reconstructed by just enlarging the pixels, beyond the 
pixel's there nothing, which is why i spend my life worrying the digital 
sublime - not to mention the phenomenology of the digital sublime, which 
gets caught on the barbed wire of the real which tears it but then what 
happens is just a discard of the file - nothing e=changes elsehwere unless 
of course there's a gun at the end of thedigital chain, in which case 
there's catastrophe brought to you by that translation, but here it's 
harmless, the starlings themselves not quite, driving out the native 
birds, taking over the nests, on the other hand, if there is one, there's 
the amazement of such huge flocks, unusual anywhere in north america in 
the late twentieth ce3ntury - what i hate about surfing, the idea that 
someone's conquering the ocean, or in mountain-lclimbing, conquering the 
mountain, when all a rock has to do is fall on someone or a big waves 
comes along and the surfer disappears for ever, there should be more of 
that http://www.asondheim.org/riverswanted.mp4 it looks better than it 
will on youtube can't upload on youtube now check this out if you have the 
patience
