I had this show in Los Angeles a couple years ago, and as always with an artist it took a while for me to get going on it and show what I had been up to. I have actually been doing a lot with the fractal images. It was kind of cool, first time I had my name on television. (Hopefully not the last!) It’s amazing what having a publicist can do for getting the word out there for you.
The choice of ICE using the UMTS/HSDPA 850Mhz seems to be a bad one, considering I have been looking all over the internet multiple sites and languages worldwide for the Huawei E166 Datacard (3G Modem) to no avail. I.C.E. won’t sell it to you. There’s a few other models if you check out the Huawei devices website in the 160 series, I thought those would work, but no, be sure that they have the right UMTS/HSDPA 850mhz, was thinking I could get a used one from T-Mobile, but those won’t work either. What a joke, for months everyone wants this card there’s nowhere in the world to get it. Good job for the future! Go ICE! There’s a few E161s you can get from alibaba.com for wholesalers in lots of 10 or 50 but those are the wrong frequencies.
Good luck!
Don’t even ask what it’s like to try and unlock a 3g iPhone purchased on eBay. I consider myself pretty technical, but oh my, watch out, you gotta be hardcore for that one! Easy to make mistakes, that is certain. Looking for something easier now.

Great post man!
D & N Beach Club, Malpais, Costa Rica
Dj Malte of Real XS (Ibiza) Spinning Sunset filmed by NIO
It was pretty cool hanging out in Malpais with Malte and his girlfriend. The sunset groove was cool and a lot of people told me later they were enjoying it down by the beach. Malpais is really an incredible part of Costa Rica, a lot of work to get there, but worth it when you get there.
Well, I still have a ways to go for being as happy as most Costa Ricans but I have to say, it is kind of contagious. I made a journey out to Malpais and Santa Theresa in the Nicoya Peninsula last week and it was beautiful and amazing, but definitely not Costa Rica, in the sense of the real Costa Rica filled with Costa Rican’s. It was a great beach town filled with cool expats, beautiful surfers and incredible nature and wildlife, but wait, I guess that is Costa Rica, too.
Well, my version of Costa Rica has been family. All family all the time. My new Costa Rican family, and wow are they incredible people. Maya is 9 months old now, and we have bought her a few things but we didn’t need to because every relative or cousin and all of the neighbors within ten blocks have bought her presents. My friend Janelle who is half-Brazillian and has a nine year old son I have known since he was two, told me, “The people in L.A. hate children, you go into a restaurant and they look at you weird for your child, etc… etc… In Brazil, however, and Latin America, children are rock-stars. Everyone loves them so much and gives them so much attention.” Well, she is right, it is amazing for me to witness it. This must one of the reasons it’s such a happy place.
Abolishing the Army wasn’t a bad idea either.
