elegant java kaleidoscope paints flowing colors in a non mirrored way to suggest solid objects...great for custom gradients... push "print screen" (f13) to copy whatever is displayed on the screen into windows clipboard for pasting into MSpaint or Arcsoft Photostudio, gimp, Photoshop...
The same program, but mirrored...
spinning java kaleidoscope
an animation program that displays automatic indian blanket patterns... a tribute to the Mescalero Apache...

Here is an animation that displays the words .....QUIT SMOKING..... while colors swirl, ebb and flow in a hypnotic pattern. This could be used to HYPNOTISE YOURSELF... Designed for the American Cancer Society... Someone with their own website could copy and paste this to display their OWN slogan...
a slight variation...RELAX...
a smooth color shredding kaleidoscope
PHOTOGRAPHS OF PADDLEFEST 2003 featuring the HSU MARCHING LUMBERJACKS

This is an applet that is already written that allows you to display your own words. Use this program at will. NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED... Just copy and paste... You DO need to have your own website, but they are free atwww.angelfire.com
COLORMATH and up-down counters. A kaleidoscope using 8 reflections... and an article explaining how it works... This has a lot of detailed math about colors and computers...

The picture above is a screenshot of the animation javapeace running. Just one of billions of images created by this program. AND I got it to work on a MAC... FIRST TIME EVER... I've also tested the applet on Netscape Navigator...
click here to see the javapeace animation... an applet kaleidoscope...with a striped background and a peace sign... All the source code is provided for you to play with if you are a programmer...HAVE FUN!You MAY copy this animation and use it on your own website. permission is granted. copylefting is unenforced. CUSTOM ORDERS OF KALEIDOSCOPES WILL BE WRITTEN... If we can agree on a price... email me at wolfgangsterlin@whale-mail.com ... :-)
earlier versions are listed below...
myArtTrip2 animation... a JAVA applet animation kaleidoscope...
myArtTrip1 animation... a smooth and gentle mirror image kaleidoscope...
an erlier version of myArtTrip animation... a mirror image kaleidoscope... with all the java source code and class files for programmers to play with... have fun, It uses the double bubble buffering compound to reduce that annoying BLINKING...
kali java animation...a little blinky but getting better... This was compiled using the JXXX compiler service... I used version 1.3.1 of the Java SDK. A programmer that uses MORE MODERN versions of the compiler may find that the "new and improved" versions do not work on websites viewed with older Java Runtime Environments... At school, the vast majority of the computers use the older RE... click here to visit http://www.innovation.ch/java/java_compile.html where they will let you use an older compiler...Just like "New Coke", the latest Sun compilers are worse that the older versions...

Click HERE to see a poster promoting the satirical movie "operation pipedreams" starring Thomas Chong as the dot.com hero and jOHN aSHCROFT as the monster in the closet... Sadly, this really happened. Chong was arrested for selling GLASS on the internet and he got an EXTRA 9 months jail time because he had a "frivolous attitude" about marijuana laws. They used his comedy movies as evidence in court... Did you even KNOW that selling BONGS online was illegal? I did not know. If you ship them to Pennsylvania or Iowa it is. IT'S LEGAL to ship to the other 48 states... ACLU? Are you listening? LEGALIZE COMEDY. Feel free to print these posters at will and distribute them to help FIGHT EVIL!
If you visit a website like Chong's you get this chilling message instead... By application of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, the website you are attempting to visit has been restrained by the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania pursuant to Title 21, United States Code, Section 853(e)(1)(A).

GET A CLUE... Something my Mom taught me... Mom said that there is a concept called "self fufilling prophesy". Her example: If you get a TATOO that says "BORN TO LOSE" you will.

BIG MEDICINE SONG by gregvan
Chorus:
Awaken the giant within...(E,F,F#,F)
Awaken the giant within...(E,F,F#,F)

Verse:
Went down to the river (E,G,D,D*,D)
Went down to the sea (A,A*,A)
Drank deep of the water of life (E,G,D,D*,D)

Ya Way is the mountain
the ocean and the sea
may the four winds of the ancients
become one with thee,one with thee

Ya-way,your way (E,G,D)
lead on mighty spirit (A,A*)
Ya-way your way

Ya-way, your way
Rainbow warriors to the fight
Ya-way use me

Ya-way, use me
Big medicine is yours
Ya-way, use me
flowing waves of compassion
Ya-way, use me
My hands are your tools...

...sing chorus here...

A song that I wrote at an Amerindian revival meeting we attended... 206 drums, 6 "father" drums and 200 frame drums...

WILSON BRIDGE (lyrics)


Wake up early in the morning, D C
gotta go to work. G D
gotta drive across that Wilson Bridge, D C
my mind it just starts to hurt. G D


10,000 fools in 10,000 cars, D C
cross it every day. G D
as I sit behind my steering wheel, D C
I know there's got to be a better way! G D

CHORUS:
Because every day in every way, D A C G
life gets more annoying. D C D
every day in every way, D A C G
life gets more boring. D C D


I escaped from D.C.
and I burned my car.
Ride the light rail in San Jo se.
It's better by far.

10,000 fools in 10,000 cars,
still drive every day.
writing lyrics on this magic train,
I know I've found the better way!

CHORUS:
Every day in every way,
It's not so annoying.
Flirting with ladies on the subway train,
Sets my heartbeat soaring!

we are living in the city of the future!


lyrics from a song i wrote for my band SOLARWIND


we are living in the city of the future
all of us have hi-tech jobs...
we don't give a damn about unemployment
that only happens to low tech slobs
be a nurd!
be a nurd!
I'm a high-tech wizard
BE A NURD!

They used to laugh @ me
when I was in high school
the social "in" set was so very proud
but now when those people
are searching thru the want ads
they say "I want to be one of the
computer crowd"
be a nurd
be a nurd
be a high-tech wizard
BE A NURD!


MESCALITA

(APACHE INDIAN GOD) by greg vanderlaan

I MET A GIRL NAMED MESCALITA
WITH COARSE BROWN HAIR.
SHE TAUGHT ME A SONG IN A DIFFERENT KEY.
NOW I LIVE THERE.
MESCALITA, MI HIJITA.
YOU SHOWED ME HOW TO LIVE.
MY LIFE WAS FILLED WITH SORROW.
BUT NOW I CAN GIVE.
I USED TO SING IN THE KEY OF "E"
A KEY OF BLUES AND PAIN.
NOW I SING IN THE KEY OF "g"
AND I'LL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN.
MESCALITA,MI AMIGA, YOU SHOWED ME HOW TO DANCE.
MY LIFE WAS FILLED WITH SORROW.
BUT I'LL GIVE LOVE ONE MORE CHANCE.

I WROTE THIS AFTER EATING PEYOTE
AT THE "RAINBOW GATHERING" IN PENNSYLVANIA.
THOSE DEADHEAD LADIES ARE SO SWEET...



a song I wrote for my friend Manuel (last name deleted) who used to NOT EAT for days at a time in order to TALK to GOD... On those days he became very dangerous and anti-social... Remember... eat every day!

My Invisible Friend
(Hay-Seuss)

I've got an invisible friend
and I call him Hay-seuss.
not Dr. Seuss or mother goose
but JESUS.

If you don't believe
in Hay-seuss or mother goose
you'll got to HELL (or Pittsburg)
and burn for eternity.

Oh, me and Jim Jones
we believe in Hay-seuss
and cyanide suicide
will get you quicker to his side.

I didn't eat for three days
and I heard voices
God talked to me
like I was on LSD
and said you're SATAN (or Peter Pan)

Direction

Wandering this world
Without direction we were lost
                   (I was)
We will build our life together
I can't, we can

Now I found you
And you found me
Never, never, never, never
Go on a first date again

No more lonely nights
No more lonely days
Then there was us
What a wonderful phrase to say

Because you trust me
And I trust you
Thank you, Lord, for Victoria (gregory)

The clouds have lifted and
I can see our future
We will be us
Forever
(Together)
