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 Also, if I feel one is out of date or it’s something I’m not interested in any more, I will delete it.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?

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.
