I am often struck with the absurdity of certain academic pursuits. For instance, when I encounter natural beauty I usually think how amusing it would be to model the growth of plants. I then realize that this reality is already rendered perfectly (or as perfectly as the limited senses can convey) for me right now, why would I want anything less?...

In virtual universes we may just feel and decide in a totally free will condition, if we have control over the prearranged criteria of the choice of the information presented to you. If you are able to shape your universe you are able to really influence the world around you. You create and draw the vision of the world you want and may even...

I think a dialogue with myself is better even than dinner with Andre. I never have maintained any sort of journal before but, having played devil's advocate to myself for nearly a lifetime and a half, i'm glad to spill out of my static centrifuge or at least to expand it's trajectory into a new maddening cycle. I'd feel personally wounded were I...

Toward Brussells June 15, 2009 Streaking clusters arc across, stuttering their prescribed half-kilometer pulse along their vector, silently agreeing with a neighbour’s domain of a kilometer or so. The nap covers approximately, gradient stretching between flickering surface of Baltic sea and quilted Jutland shore. Free-soldier trenchant...

Just the first few paragraphs of the paper. Leaving it up here for archive and for comments! :-) In a time where physical possessions begin to lose their once-crucial roles, where more and more live in multiple countries and spend much of their time traveling, where identity is becoming less rooted to a physical form and more to an...

Scientists are reporting an advance toward a memory device capable of storing data for more than one billion years. Alex Zettl and colleagues note in the new study that some of today’s highest-density experimental storage media can retain ultra-dense data for only a fraction of a second. They note that William the Conqueror’s Doomsday Book,...

Although it focuses on individual action (so it kinda opposes to my structuralist views of the social world), I find Goffman's interpretation of the human action quite interesting. Those of you who have read Erving Goffman know exactly how "catchy" his sociology is, and those of you who haven't...well I can tell you this: you don't...
