I'm sorry, it's a slow burn until about 2:30 or so into the video. AFTER THAT, THE LOVE WILL BE IN YOUR FACE WITHOUT CESSATION, TRUST ME. thanks to turkishb

Today has been rainy and icy and cold all day, I met up with turkishb for a late lunch and chatter out in Coolidge Corner. We ate pizza then migrated across the street to get something warmer to drink in a coffeeshop. In front of the doorway, for whatever reason we linger for like a few seconds, I think waiting while somebody else was entering or exiting, I don't recall. But then suddenly...

helped somnialcat move across town to his new place today. it was fun and not even that big a deal, the more hands the lighter the load, etc. it's a cozy place, woo for home ownership! afterwards we had pizza. this all involved meeting some new faces, other friends of his from social circles i'm unfamiliar with, and that was nice. i am reminded how much i like people, on a personal basis...

haha, i'm up at 4am because i can't sleep because thoughts are swirling :D friday, i met with turkishb before the porn thing and we had ice cream and talked for about an hour and a half about creative stuff we're working on and it was inspiring and non-possessive, generous, and useful. i'm typing up notes now before i forget; hopefully he'll want to meet again to go over stuff.

went to lunch (at the Sultan's Kitchen) with turkishb today. i think i made an ass of myself. ssssomething is up with my brain chemicals like -whoa- this week, wtf. holy shit SAD is a hell of a drug. i will be fine this coming weekend, just need to have things even out for a bit. perpetual halloween should be an option.

i haven't seen it yet. so this is all hearsay.

I think turkishb is a pretty cool guy. Eh, interviews people, doesn't afraid of anything When is the next tea party? Who is watching the game in HD? Who is going to Building 19 Tuesday to get those framed pictures of the Patriots 19-0 win?

They're beautiful and I want to remember them all.    Butm I also have too many people that I watch, so my watch list is overflowing and I never bother to check it anymore.  How sad.  http://berylsays.livejournal.com/profil e Her work is beautiful and raw.  http://berylsays.deviantart.com/ Her work ( I think it's a she.)  Is rich and smooth.  Very cultural.  http://toyin.livejournal.com/...

It's into this context that livejournalist turkishb has presented me with Bronislaw Szerszynski's Techno Demonology thesis . I confess to having experienced some trepidation at it's content at first. The reassuringly secular overtones that intelligent people are consoled by, and that permeate the technological analysis of Winner, Ellul, Keniston and Noble are absent here. He references Paul...

turkishb left a comment in my recent cautionary tale about political centrism in the US, directing me to the work of an author that has inspired me to articulate some thoughts on technology, politics, the relationship between morality and design, and a critical failure of market libertarianism. The explanation is necessarily complex, and will meander through several important points to get...
