Circles to Circles #1. On Descriptive Geometry.

I am not a hoarder. I parted with school memorabilia long ago. When I started reading books on e-readers, the remaining books felt like an odd time capsule. They were not representing my reading self anymore. So, I got rid of most books, too. There was one exception: I still have my high school Descriptive…
Motivational Warp Core Explosion

I know, I need to get back to art based on physics! But I am taking a detour! I am collecting ideas and building blocks – art based on mathematics. The function powering the warp core is not that complicated. I guess, you could find related physics. But when my starting point was math, it…
Make It Real

I don’t like stuff, usually. I am discarding sentimental things relentlessly. I feel that ‘memorabilia’ are creepy time capsules. I am digitizing all the things.

You may accuse me of making this blog the strange attractor of a self-referential loop of weird referrals to itself…
Impolite and Humiliating Spam and Why We Really Need Tags for Spam Comments More than Time Machines

It has been a while since my last spam poem that was really compliant with the rules. My most recent attempt at Spam Poetry bent the rules. (But it is true – I am usually changing the rules as I go.) Recently I have learned from fellow blogger and spam poet Michelle that there is…
Quote: Narrating Our Life’s Events

Thanks Jennifer Ouellette for retweeting: The Secret Lives of Stories: Rewriting Our Personal Narratives “…the ability to see one’s life as a story is at the heart of identity. In fact, our ability to “narrate” our life’s events may even be the defining mark of consciousness.” Merry Christmas everyone!
