I'm curious about how stuff works and write in pursuit of clarity.

(A lot of my attention has also gone to the Contact Improvisation and software/systems Interconnecting Groups sections.)

Contained Pages

Real Faith: My primary article of faith: Reality Exists. Duh.
How Does "I" Happen?: During the COVID-19 quarantine I wanted to continue to explore cooperative movement improvisation in so far as I could. I found success with several online scores. In the process of exploring and trying various things I've also learned more about what I'm looking for.
Quotes Collection: Pithy quotes appeal to my yearning for clarity. Here are some of my favorites, thematically arranged.
Gray Cat memories: Gray Cat was the most cool and collected feline I've ever gotten to know. I saved these memories June 6 and 7, 2007, in the days just after I had his life ended as he was in the grip of a fatal and unrelenting illness.
Poetry: Sometimes I want to say more than I am able. Sometimes when I try I wind up with more than I expect.
Intriguing Tidbits: Hard won insights or haphazard trivia? You decide.
Communication is Intelligence: I suppose that communication is a medium and the substance of intelligence. I depend on that notion. This page is a work-in-progress marking some ideas about this notion.
Resentment and Self Pity: Resentment and self pity are anger misdirected in ways that are not helpful, and often worse.
"Free Will" and "Determinism" are Not Mutually Exclusive: Free will and determinism are concepts which cannot be compared because they represent distinct levels of abstraction, separate domains of discourse.
Some Favorite Books: A little bit about several of my favorite books.
Art From Limitations: I will always have more to learn regarding Orson Welles' suggestion, "the enemy of art is the absence of limitations". Henry Jaglom, a film creator and longtime Welles friend, describes what it means to him in an Indie World interview . This page has an excerpt from that interview .
Favorite Perlis Programming Epigraphs: Selected favorites from Alan J. Perlis' collection of programming epigraphs.
Incubator: Holding area for partly-cooked stuff. (No guarantees about any getting fully cooked.)
