Playing Against the Programme
I used to think the screen was something I looked at. Vilém Flusser makes the more troubling suggestion. The screen is something I look through. That shift matters.

On Blogging as Soul Technology
A response to Joan Westenberg’s “The Case for Blogging in the Ruins“ Joan Westenberg opens her case for blogging by invoking Diderot’s Encyclopédie, that 28-volume monument to organized thinking that took two decades to complete, survived two government bans, and drove its creator to periodic breakdowns. Her point was that the infrastructure for thinking has…

The algorithms have been good for a long time were good at herding us into different pens, and for the purposes of getting me to spend money, I’m fine with this. However, these days it’s a radical pen where we see through the fence and cattle prod pushes content to make me hate the sheep on…

blogging about blogging about blogging
this is my alchemical language lab/experimental blogging playground after all… I approached this from a different angle yesterday, but I think this is closer to what I’m aiming for in 2025.

fragmented paths
Somewhere between the scaffolding of story and the poetry of thought lies a landscape I’m yearning to explore. It’s a place where the personal and the theoretical intertwine, where the raw texture of life rubs against the abstraction of ideas. The blending of creative nonfiction and theoretical poetics—this hybrid, fragmented, kaleidoscopic way of writing—feels like…

In this episode Are you a free spirit, tech rebel, or modern-day savage who refuses to fit the mould? I’m leading a guerrilla movement to bring back the rawness of early blogging, before the algorithms and ad deals took over—when the web was wild, free, and fuelled by self-expression. This is where we unplug from…

the mothership connection
I’m firing up my trusty MarsEdit spaceship to blast out this blog post at warp speed! Gotta make sure all systems are go before taking this bad boy out for spin across the blogosphere. If she handles smooth, I’ll be punching holes in the time-space continuum with MarsEdit from here on out, beaming my prose…

everybody knows
I can’t say that I’m a Lorde fan—not that there’s anything wrong with her music; it’s just not my usual thing. But I came across her blog, which she runs on Tumblr (I think people need to keep an eye on Tumblr; it’s poised for a comeback as a blogging platform). She was very open…

Enough is enough, niching is not in my job description!
How do I master the art of living? I’ve been in pursuit of that answer for most of my adult life. Every time I think I have all of the answers, they change the questions. Something that I’ve come to realize is this blog has to be first and foremost for me. It has to…

Your ‘why’ dictates the format
Blogging for 28 days straight has been a little tough. There have been days that if I was not doing this challenge, I would not have created a post. I would have let myself get by with the excuse that I was too busy or too tired to blog. But there is another reason. Sometimes…

Life in juxtaposition
What’s been good about this 30-day challenge is that it has forced me to be still for a few minutes and contribute to my own blog, which is in effect, contributing to my story. What do I mean by that? Let’s face it I’m not writing earth-shattering posts. I’m not even solving some great problem…
