One of the plays on words of this title is “Ecce Homo”, which are the words of Pontius Pilate, referring the crowd to a scourged and crowned Christ. It is also the title of a book by Nietzsche, and while I certainly take issues with “the Dionysian vs the Crucified”, I firmly applaud his Amor Fati, the falling in love with one’s fate. As a friend of mine once said: “The problem with heresy is that it’s 90% true. The problem is the other 10%”. I find that to be painfully true with Nietzsche.

I am taking liberties with the video. The moon rise tonight was even better than last night, the sky is much more clear and the moon fully round. As I watched it, the lyrics, “When the moon hits your eye / Like a big pizza pie, that’s amore” popped unbidden into my mind and I kicked myself for not using it last night. But the Time and Date web site says full moons last three days, and this is my web site and I’m gonna post the video, dang it. Time and Date also hints that the European Super Blue Moon is today anyway, since it happened at 01.30 this morning, so that’s that. Posted.

David August is a great DJ, in the tradition of some of my other favourite musicians such as Nicolas Jaar and Nicola Cruz. You can see him on episodes of The Boiler Room, along with Jaar and probably Cruz. I’m not a big fan of watching people DJ per se, but one can always download their sets and upload the resulting MP4s onto his iDevices. That’s what I do.

This series has been fun and a real adventure, with a little help from my friends, whom I shouldn’t tolerate as much as I do, but I love too much to curb. They are too clever by half and they delight in teasing an old fart. They make me laugh, and that’s how they caught me to begin with, so I can’t complain. Be nice, friends! I’m not a toy; there is a human being behind the curtain.

Next month, I’m going to scale back a bit, I’m sorry to say. Everyone is returning from vacation and it’s starting to heat up at work. I’ll try to post at least every other day, though. Get an RSS Feed app that will alert you to new posts.

Ecce Amor Homo Fati.
