in his right a shotgun, to guarantee the next year’s crop
his price is power
mine is protection
i return to work
and pulverize
the last remaining […] -

we might have done more
than invent a new way to push pixels
minds attached to glowing screens
trillions of neurons making sense of shimmering squares of color
spinning bits into personalities
real and imagined
my screen shows me the world I wish to see
and through it, I am as I pretend
100,000 million human beings have walked on Earth
9 out of […] -

EXPERIMENT 5_26_2008
My friend Jim and I are working on a Memorial Day portrait of our city. We spent the day shooting empty parks and parking garages, listening for interesting sounds, and recording passing conversations on the sly. The final product is coming soon, but in the meantime, here’s the latest draft of […]

EXPERIMENTS 5_21_2008
We had our (sortof) monthly writer’s group meeting tonight. It was at my house, so I was in charge of giving people an assignment and providing snacks and tea. We had fruit salad:
And the assignment was to bring in something that makes a sound and tell a story that incorporates the sound in […]

THINKING AND DOING
download
I had to break out the old MPC for this one. The words come from an interview with C. Northcote Parkinson, a 20th century naval historian and source of one of my favorite quotes: “The chief product of an automated society is a widespread and deepening sense of boredom.”
