the conversation elsewhere deals with alienation. in the course of trying to explain to another how/why i find the discussion to be clouding, the following was written… just now, actually… this ‘in the moment’ stuff is rocking my brain in its casing. interesting, since the things coming out have been here all along. i can’t help but ask myself why it is that it has taken this long to get to them. then i realize, i didn’t choose it. hah.

on alienation
i’m enjoying this in the moment/being stuff. some rather interesting things come of it.
technology rocks!
sample.mp3 edit: turns out there is some funky issue with buffering in that plugin… so, while exciting at first, ultimately, it doesn’t work for me. going back to the links. the http streaming seems to manage this much better. i suggest winamp, they rock! some retro-fitting to the blog today… found a very nice plugin that permits buffering and streaming of audio and has quite a number of conveninent configuration options. installed it and retro-fitted all posts for 2007. if it is an audio recording, you will now see the player that is at the top of this post. just […]

of-the-master-sergeant-030307.mp3 as it happens, the weekends are the time when i am sufficiently liberated from ‘thinking’ to actually write of thoughts ‘in the moment’ as it is…
