on this day, in 1954 (via wikipedia) - "CBS television broadcasts the See It Now episode, "A Report on Senator Joseph McCarthy"

stumbles across something for the first time, then sees it everywhere - feels kind of spooky, until we step back and see where exploring one corner of a network

desalination - interesting words that float by in the stream

"This is a sacred place. Now you may not believe that and I may not believe that but, by God, that is a useful hypocrisy" -- In the Loop

shock and awe as perfectly adapted to command attention in a visual medium
delays in the flows, through systems, a little harder to make interesting, until...

anti-temptation - a gnostic veil being lifted, the serpent as a subtle savior from the cult of singular solutions

less as such an interesting four-letter-word, shame we're tempted into more not less - wondering what anti-temptation might look like, blow-back perhaps (to ponder two more FLW's)

horseless carriages, oil-less, too, more transitions, less dependency, concentration, corruption, temptation

noticing the windmills, while out for a walk, working away, hopefully one way away from old fashioned wars for oil

solved a mysterious problem today - the answer wasn't logical, focus wasn't the key, or trying harder - all closed off the answer which came from an intuitive feel for something outside the obvious - how much do we blind ourselves to opportunities everyday?

"In the very midst of the continuity our experience comes as an alteration. 'Yes,' we say at the full brightness, 'this is what I just meant.' 'No,' we feel at the dawning, 'this is not yet the full meaning, there is more to come'" -- William James

"its a trap" - such an attractive metaphorical meme

(tfw you read a funny comment on the web, and experience an actual laugh out loud - its been too long)

watching a gorgeous full moon, everytime you look up, its moved a little more, quite something

exploring the fertile ground between invisible fences

we speak the same language, but use different words, closed off in specialized and separate worlds

"digital darkness" and "decimal dust" two odd little phrases flowing in my streams

looking at photos as a way to reminisce, but looking at seasonal photos as a simple way to see slow change, and look forward to a new season

"Muddied and dust-covered, how broadly he grins"

right-click to save a nice image - ugh, its webp

embossed times roman as an increasingly popular appeal to authority?

reads something modern, finds a similar reference from fity years ago, and one jump and we're back in the bible, plus ca change, the same idea over thousands of years - whats common is its experiential, embodied, directly personal, we can relate to it

(currently having barry manilow's "mandy" as an earworm - nice job mandelson)

sees three or four words, the lyrics of a familiar song, and it starts playing in our imagination - wonder if those who say they can't see images can hear songs?

TIL "pedunculate" - wikipedia article of the day, such nice pictures, too, today

slides, as a linear presentation medium, generate frustration exponentially

rainy sundays, made for re-reading

wondering if the word whoops may trip up a few this year

another day another accidental insight - hmm, learning to see the stumbling block as a moment for reflection

love that the "see also" tradition lives on in wikipedia
