I’d like to put a few told-ya-so’s on the table. You can take these words as opinions only, or hallucinations, or ill-conceived misunderstandings, or crazy shit, or, I guess, nuggets of wisdom. If I have a thought and it’s wrong, it’s just wrong. Trial and error includes error, and this fucked-up world would be even worse if nobody spoke until they were absolutely sure of themselves. If something I say is debatable, then cool, go ahead and debate it.
I was going to put a bio here but I don't think so. There's a Wikipedia page somewhere with some details.
I will add pieces here as I compose them, or find them. I reserve the right to edit after I have published – this site isn’t any fancy-pants document system, it’s just some HTML files that I edit by hand. And if I want to change them, I will. Also, if I feel one is out of date or it’s something I’m not interested in any more, I will delete it. And if I get a bright idea about something I may add to this library of wisdom.
Music in Continuous Pitch (and Time) -- music doesn't really need discrete notes or time, doesn't need scales or meter. There is an infinity of sound between the piano notes. Why don't we use it?
The Blues Scale I didn't write this, Hayden Carruth did, but he gets it and explains well about the use of pitch. He is both stratospheric and down-to-earth about it.
Nothing -- our gift of language keeps us distracted by the perceptible world.
The Mutter Line -- I published a little book on Kindle. The Mutter Line is a reaction to an offhanded thing William Burroughs mentioned once. This is pretty bad, I know, but I laugh out loud reading my own writing. It’s less that two bucks, by which I mean, you can download it for $1.99
Recursive Resampling --the futile algorithm we use to do our daily work and decide what our future history will hold.
The Liar’s Paradox -- an award-losing 500 word essay that reveals the true liar’s paradox.
Cuando yo muera --there was a challenge to write a poem in Spanish. Here's my cheery little contribution.
The Life of Mischief -- a kind of rambling explanation about this concept that I keep bringing up.
