REALITY?: Back to Business
I’m still dreaming in the afterglow of hypertextual commingling and will return to the down-to-earth (?) world of printed fiction sometime today. Between William Gay and Geoff Chaucer (he’s not around to argue the familiarity) I’ve got some good reading … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: No Way to Start a Monday Morning
With the news of the loss of a revolutionary comedian: George Carlin, dead at age 71. I’ve admired him since the days he was allowed to safely perform on the Ed Sullivan show. Continue reading

REALITY?: Maintaining the Flavor
Home again, home again, jiggety-jig. Yes, I was really interested in the learning sessions, great discussions, and meeting some familiar names at the Hypertext 2008 conference, but the food was a big part of it for me too. Can’t come … Continue reading

WRITING: The Four-Sentence Novel
Well at least I completed a story while I was here, thanks to Alan Bigelow’s flash site Webyarns where he presents his work. Try one yourself: Webyarns/My Novel Continue reading
WRITING: Pittsburgh in the Early Afternoon
A skateboard competition in the courtyard (justice still?) flying teens from three feet high into a hard slapping landing. Here and there a crash and burn, reminiscent of the WW II aces maybe they want to be. A wedding over … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING: Pittsburgh Story
(Not to be confused with Philadelphia Story and Paul Newman) Listening to the city. A flock of friends supporting one of their own because someone’s done him wrong. Stone benches, arched boughs, a courtyard serving appropriately as a court of … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY? & WRITING: A Cabin in Pittsburgh
I don’t often get away by myself so this trip to Pittsburgh for the Hypertext 08 conference is temporarily serving an alternate role (in true hypertext style!) as that little cabin in the woods I’ve been seeking to simply sit … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: Pittsburgh and its Pigeons
Not just Pittsburgh I would think, but all big bumbling cities with their underlying humming sound of life. Pigeons teaching people in their fly formations like a United Nations flag. Every color grey, white spots under bellies or hidden within … Continue reading Continue reading

HYPERTEXT: Changing Key The How
Space as character–this is an important statement by Charles Deemer in his Nuts & Bolts section of the hyperdram which tells us how the idea of hyperdrama came about and moving it from live performance stage to the film medium. … Continue reading
HYPERTEXT & WRITING: Hypertext 2008 Inspiration
Got ideas for a new hypertext story on the flight, above the clouds, wondering if the world had disappeared below them. Got another idea over a beer, wondering about all the many sides, facets, versions of a single event is … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Blue (jeans)
About forty pairs of jeans in the closet and only three of them can be coaxed into comfortably fitting the new, larger version of me. I think I’ll go back to smoking. (Note: No, I’m not rich. These jeans are … Continue reading Continue reading

TECHNOLOGY: Outwitting it
Okay, so I get a phone call and a robotic voice tells me that it’s from the online pharmacy and is asking for Jim (who really doesn’t know anything about this online stuff) regarding his recent order for prescriptions. Then … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Moving
Some things need to grow up where they’ve been planted. Some plants, like people, just don’t like being moved. Yet at their own slow pace they sprout a half a foot away from roots that have wandered in the soil … Continue reading Continue reading

HYPERTEXT: Hypertext 2008
One week away from the Hypertext 2008 Conference in Pittsburgh, PA and I’m pretty much ready for that with a presentation for the workshop headed by Steve Ersinghaus where I’ll be showing the process of my work with Storyspace and … Continue reading
