*what it is... >> world wrap
by carson brown

"People are surprisingly amenable to ad encroachment if they get something for free. In an extreme case, a San Francisco man agreed to tattoo a local burrito joint's logo on his arm in exchange for a lifetime of free burritos."

 

   *why? >> the gift of generalized exchange by ira nayman

 trends  >>  spectator/sports/urbanity

*can't help it >> an open letter
by ryan glover

"A white Jeep Cherokee in the right most lane, which approached the intersection as the light turned green, accelerates, lawfully, through the intersection and demolishes the prancing doe as he darts past the front of the bus and into the path of oncoming traffic."

*cognisant >> lurkin' in the murk: a unified theory of cognisance
by curt cloninger

"Words derive from this pre-cognisant arena, but this arena itself is a-verbal. All art "speaks" in this arena first, and then on and up it goes. Most concrete art strongly influences its viewer to move away from this vague murky area of first perception and on to higher areas of understanding, categorizing, and naming."

*sociology >> relax, we're all racists here: part whatever
"fire!! just kidding."

by jonathan schildbach

"Anybody who is familiar with semantics related to issues of race is familiar with the idea of using what has now come to be called "the N word" in various contexts of power. Some believe that by using the word excessively, it becomes so meaningless as to eliminate its power."

*the muse: >> sleep creating
by eric maisel

"It will not surprise you to learn that your brain works while you sleep, that it dreams, thinks and creates. You've already had the experience of creating your novel, painting or song while you slept, of finding the right word, the right plot twist, the right image while you were in the land of nod."
