REALITY: Focus
How joyously freeing it must be, to dedicate oneself to one pursuit! To live and breathe and pause just to look back at the vanishing point at which one started to value the journey. Shackled to ideas, free to follow … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & NEW MEDIA: The Faucet’s Story
Brushing teeth, watching the water running out the faucet (note, that I do try to shut the faucet off in between, while my husband lets it run at full blast—a source of minor irritation). Bored and gazing out the bathroom … Continue reading Continue reading
BLOGGING & NEW MEDIA: Grey Windy Words
…or maybe not. Methinks ’twill be a boring blogging day today. Between the mundane framing of images*, I need as well to write an exercise for the New Media class–and this, I fear, although I’ll post it as a link … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Opening Doors
Love to watch the backyard in a battle with the wind. Trees, their rain-heavy heads bow and swerve in all directions; an audience in final throes of prayer meetin’, led by a fiery Reverend Storm. I stand just inside the … Continue reading Continue reading
SELF ANALYSIS: Applying Learned Principles
In soaking up knowledge, perhaps as a form of narcissism we often tend to use it as a gauge of our own selves. Patience, tolerance of others; these virtues I have sought to learn through years of living in a … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & WRITING: Natural Balance
Night is the Great Equalizer, when trees no longer green and reaching for the height of sky become one with it. When no one thing or person is a this or that, when all are black within a universal space. … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Rain Coming In
Some of us are weather-driven, sunshined smiles or greyly grave and grim. I watch the sky tonight, the yellow coward clouds slink in mobs and look for trouble, scan the streets to find a hapless victim they can drench with … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & NEW MEDIA: 1000 Angels Dancing on the Head of a Pin
Looking up at my panorama piece of sky, my personal view that no one else but me can see. It is not large, but still it’s cut in half by horizontal flight; a teeny tiny eighth-inch gleaming silver spark of … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Morning Revealed in Inches (Prelude to the Window Exercise #3)
Goodness me; am I to go around applying new media principles even to my simple morning cigarette routine in the dark garage? Going out a bit later this morning (oh, all right; my second cigarette!) it was lighter as the … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA: Devil in a Red Dress (Readerly/Writerly)
Perhaps the reason that I’ve put this post off since last night is that in trying to organize my thoughts, I’ve gotten bogged down with coming at it from all angles: —–> Reader reading readerly written text —–> Reader reading … Continue reading Continue reading

LITERATURE: Adultery and the Lure of the Romance Novel
It’s probably just me, maybe because I’m a “mature” woman, maybe because of whatever movies I watched on “The Early Show” as a kid, but I’m noticing a trend in fiction that is telling of societal changes (somewhat–just had a … Continue reading Continue reading

BLOGGING & NEW MEDIA: Interface
I visit my personalized (variability) Typepad home page several times during the day. With posting, editing, getting to Spinning to connect with those not available through Bloglines, some stat checking, etc. I can use the “back door” plain entry that … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA: Transcoding
Along with Sister Mary Winword as an example of transcoding, we should place Clippy, perhaps better in his alias of “The Genius” (whom I used when I first started with Windows 2000 and called “Albert” before I got tired of … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA: Existence Update
Checked the garage this morning; sat for a few minutes and looked around. Visually, I still wasn’t there. By virtue of cultural coding, I was able to maneuver within the space, leave and enter an area where the light revealed … Continue reading Continue reading

CURRENT AFFAIRS: Local Airport Referendum Update
In a previous post I noted that our town was voting on the question of taking an airport and the 376 acres that went along with it by power of eminent domain, and the necessity of researching the question before … Continue reading Continue reading
