6:36 pm	i feel like time spent on the internet is under a pretense of amassing yet knowledge, knowledge has no weight (Comment on this)

12:12 am	almost there dozens of iterations of multistrap. i'd started kvm booting the partitions, but i neglect things like isc-dhcp-client (what is your fav dhcp client, btw?) and, oh, lo, apt-get. close. one more time. just one. next step, puppetry server. it was time for a good crash. it was on the acceptable end. regenerate.

2:26 pm	Red Lunar Earth We polarise in order to evolve. Stabilising synchronicity, we seal the matrix of navigation with the lunar tone of challenge. We are guided by the power of universal water. How are you planning on spending your remaining 11 haab / half & full months of- 2 Wo' black conjunction 3 Sip red conjunction 4 Sotz' bat 5 Tzek death 6 Xul 7 Yaxk'in' new sun 8 Mol water 9 Ch'en black storm 10 Yax green storm 11 Sak' white storm 12 Keh red storm 13 Mak enclosed 14 K'ank'in yellow sun see you on the other side, 15 Muwan' owl (please note the lack of silly non-solar Long Count mayan dating schemes) i've been letting myself get chased by a ghost. and i think i use her image, at every point, to try and make myself better, to reshape my own clay. imagining this influence, i want to think is silly. to have the fixture be a real person certainly is. to still think i feel so much to feel like this, well, i don't know what kind of pole i'm after and i wonder and i acknowledge the mystery but still i see march on & test whether this climb is up. i wish there could be more than me finding this.

10:30 pm	cannot wait for 2012 to hurry up & get to the blow out finale. we do live in a radical time, but every allusion coming up, every hand of fate mentioned being immediately back-traced to apocalyptic "holy shit how does the world still turn" intonations and hintings is uber weary. don't we all have roles to be playing, working towards a better future, not just waving our hands about premonising. it's so much worse that so much agitation is coming to a confluence around this point. we do want to question how banality can persist, how the status quo could survive, we hope for upheaval. if you want it, and i think if you look hard you'll find that so, you need to admit, and work. because reality is a cold prison. one we must work with toil and deliberation to exceed.

4:12 pm	the FBI demand for wiretap-ready-internet-sites is tantamount to economic terrorism: the backlash against cloud would destroy a still incipient "cloud" economy, push us back to a self hosted, run your own apps, run your own servers model. i cannot imagine what our new world megapowers, apple, google, &all, would do. "The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers." i do hope for a p2p world. i also hope it's not technically impossible attempts at surveillance that push us there. and i really really hope our cryptography isn't somehow hideously all broken. re: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57428067-83/fbi-we-need-wiretap-ready-web-sites-now/ (Comment on this)

2:30 pm	kind of crushing on md for all of the county names being places in Kingmaker. of course, as wikipedia clearly indicates, the Flag, banner of Lord Baltimore George Calvert (1579-1632), was only adopted 1904. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Baltimore_arms.png dc is our only other flag originating from heraldic England http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_George_Washington any other public symbols that might qualify as being of distinctly English origin? (Comment on this)
2:19 pm	oh hey, it's all the counties in md don't you want to learn all those? yeah of course you do and man it's such a nice day out let's go sit in the sun it's not like you're.... ...oh. blimer. http://www.mva.maryland.gov/Hours-Locations/default.asp (Comment on this)

10:58 pm	i hope and do not expect anyone would blame me for _not_ looking for philly tech events that are going on. that said, i'm a little miffed i missed the word that node.philly was going down. it's not really like i think to check much further away than baltimore. good for you philly, good for you east coast, that this is going down: glad to have to check! last: does lanyrd solve this discovery problem for me yet?

5:51 pm	Modern creatives who want to work in good faith will have to fully disengage from the older generation’s mythos of phantoms, and masterfully grasp the genuine nature of their own creative tools and platforms. Otherwise, they will lack comprehension and command of what they are doing and creating, and they will remain reduced to the freak-show position of most twentieth century tech art. That’s what is at stake. http://www.wired.com/beyond_the_beyond/2012/04/an-essay-on-the-new-aesthetic/ the hard truth, buried inside a long narrative about the New Aesthetic. That’s the big problem, as I see it: the New Aesthetic is trying to hack a modern aesthetic, instead of thinking hard enough and working hard enough to build one. (Comment on this)

12:44 pm	I'm finding more and more internal condescension and stress allayed against the spiritual hintings and natures I might confess to. I want to be free of occultism and the less than evident, free from having to go out on a limb to explore with others what I'm entirely undecided myself on. Echoing my own thoughts distresses their weak belief only further, only further stresses the enormous whirlitutde that is this planet's motion and speed and the insubstantiality of one's own personal bearing's to intuit through the throwness of our environment and ourselves.

12:48 pm	for all your "dining on the tables" needs, ST is there! the fuck-ups/not-quite-primed yet moments usually aren't this good. the swirligig circular is my favorite. (Comment on this)
11:57 am	after using 'awesome' for an extended time and having neglected it's alt-tab-ish behavior in favor of laying out everything in virtual desktops, it's hard to remember the context i'm looking for is already where i am, just in a different part of the container. (Comment on this)

11:24 pm	fuck it, weaving this into coherency just isn't happening VII i have no idea if there's just some straw man propped up or who the dissenters slash instigators are, but my tweet feed has been all 'live and let live, stop hating on the presence of alcohol and intoxication in this [x]conf community' today soooo... it's a bloody miracle. every single camera, attempt to capture, they all just failed. in _Mage: The Ascension_ there's this background called *Arcane*: via the fates at large, you simply do not register in the system. security cameras glitch out or the footage gets misplaced, files with you in them get taken home on the subway and lost in transit, people don't remember your name or face. and that, that's what community requires in the internet age: the fates conspiring. amongst hyperconnection, pervasive immortality of information, it's the liberty to not have to live down all the shit all the time that's required to bond, to make community. mercifully, it seems to have happened at mass scale. the angels smiled down and made all the footage starry points of light, blurry waves of motion, and dusty lenses. ok so there was a lot of drinking. we had trust for one another, maybe took advantage of available open bars, of new and old friends who wouldn't just our rarely exercised dancefloor skills. it's not that we need a bunch of wild ass developers man dancing unabashed and largely wasted into the deep of the night to make this culture. it's that we need to be able to share our own experiences, natures, that we need trust and support and community that won't judge, won't be pregnant with expectations and forms, will allow us all to be, to be together, to not have to concern ourselves overly much with these demandingly-public identities we otherwise carry with us on the virtual highways. we want or require not to have to suffer the publicness of our identities at all times, and that is just that sign that someone watches out, is shepard to a community which is, not intoxicated, but amongst one another, is bonded and accepting and affirming each other. i'm sorry if it injures you that it's only so noticably apparent and on display when we're sloshed and dancing. trust is rarely so apparent. yes, it is very silly, and i think the participants all agree. please don't fixate on the booze though. there are plenty of incredible conversations still going on around the room with some of the most fantastic and digitally-well-traveled individuals on the planet, even as the other half of the room demonstrates just how infrequently they get the opportunity to be comfortable and drunk and dancing in a club.
