I spent several hours at the studio this morning, working on my lecture for tomorrow
\n(and still have a ways to go). My wife and I have had many conversations about
\nhow thinking actually happens in writing and speaking, rather than before it,
\nas many people assume. Granted, this is a very structuralist\/post-structuralist
\nidea, but there is some truth to it. You know how they say that the best way to
\nlearn something is to teach it? I’ve never understand pseudocode for programming
\nmultimedia art better :)
\nBut I can’t resist, and I digress to the primaries. My father seems to think that
\nLieberman<\/a> is a good choice,
\nand it makes me feel all gross inside. Sigh. Why is it that a man with a Masters
\nDegree, who has been teaching at a University for several decades, is completely
\nunaware of all the other candidates? It’s not his fault. It’s the ever elusive,
\nbut always present, "media."
\nAgain, I have to thank The
\nNote<\/a> today, this time, for starting The
\nNotepad<\/a> – a "please submit your statement to the true left in under 200
\nwords" for all nominee hopefuls’ campaigns. Check
\nit.<\/a>
\nSome of those candidates *might* be better than I thought. But I doubt it. The
\nreal find of the day? This
\nBlog<\/a> (finally! nathaniel
\nstern<\/a> has featured a blog that was not taken directly from the blogger<\/a>
\nmain page!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
