Probably won’t be posting much on New Media, since we’ve developed into teams, which is really the basis for any new media applications, and it wouldn’t be fair to give one view of a five-person effort.
Did get the books and “afternoon, a story,” a CD hypertext fiction by Michael Joyce and I’m anxious to throw that in and play with it a bit.
But the item from the Amazon order that’s calling loudest seems to be Metamagical Themas: Questing for the Essence of Mind and Pattern by Douglas Hofstadter. With chapter titles such as, “Who Shoves Whom Around Inside the Careenium,” Mathematical Chaos and Strange Attractors,” or “Irrationality is the Square Root of All Evil,” can you blame me for peeking inside?
The Lost Children: A Charity Anthology
I love it.
