David Whyte reading “Sweet Darkness” for On Being is beautiful. When your eyes are tired the world is tired also. When your vision has gone, no part of the world can find you. Time to go into the dark where the night has eyes to recognize its own. There you can be sure you areContinue reading “THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN”

THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN
I picked up Charles Yu’s How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe yesterday and I’ve just been plowing through it. A passage from early on in the book: The earliest memory I have of my own dad is the two of us, sitting on my bed as he reads me a book we have checkedContinue reading “THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN”

Josan Gonzalez’s The Future Is Now Vol 2 looks gorgeous. His kickstarter is here [if anyone was planning on getting me a present?].

Anonymous, found in James Boyle’s “The Second Enclosure Movement and the Construction of the Public Domain.” The law locks up the man or woman Who steals the goose from off the common But leaves the greater villain loose Who steals the common from off the goose. The law demands that we atone When we take thingsContinue reading “THREE HUNDRED AND TEN”

I found Ross Goodwin’s Adventures in Narrated Reality last night — it’s a really imaginative research diary with some impressive and stirring results. I plan to read this word.camera collection this week, which will be the first time in my life that I’ve read a machine generated book (that I know of?).
THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHT
From Douglas Coupland’s Escaping the superfuture. Lately I’ve been experiencing a new temporal sensation that’s odd to articulate, but I do think is shared by most people. It’s this: until recently, the future was always something out there up ahead of us, something to anticipate or dread, but it was always away from the present. ButContinue reading “THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHT”
THREE HUNDRED AND SEVEN
When I was a kid, my mom used to take me on “listening walks” and this interview reminded me of her. From The Last Quiet Places: Silence and the Presence of Everything. MR. HEMPTON: Yeah. Oh, grass wind. Oh, that is absolutely gorgeous, grass wind and pine wind. You know, we can go back to theContinue reading “THREE HUNDRED AND SEVEN”

Umberto Eco on DOS versus the Macintosh: The fact is that the world is divided between users of the Macintosh computer and users of MS-DOS compatible computers. I am firmly of the opinion that the Macintosh is Catholic and that DOS is Protestant. Indeed, the Macintosh is counterreformist and has been influenced by the “ratioContinue reading “THREE HUNDRED AND THREE”
THREE HUNDRED AND TWO
From Sine Cosine Tangent, Don DeLillo in this week’s New Yorker. “My mother had a roller that picked up lint. I don’t know why this fascinated me. I used to watch her guide the device over the back of her cloth coat. I tried to define the word “roller” without sneaking a look in the dictionary. I satContinue reading “THREE HUNDRED AND TWO”
