The Hour of the Machine: December 2011
http://thehourofthemachine.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
The Hour of the Machine. Sunday, December 11, 2011. Cogs lately, 10: Entartete Kunst edition. Two days after splintering my radius, I was unexpectedly back on the Luther campus, warming up in the Union before walking over to the regular Shakespeare sonnet event and then to teach on Emily Dickinson’s poetry. Unexpectedly there because I anticipated having surgery that day, but my wrist-area was still too swollen. Bormann’s intaglio collection is quite an outstanding work. Posted by Andy Hageman. I'm an AC...

The Hour of the Machine: January 2012
http://thehourofthemachine.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The Hour of the Machine. Sunday, January 15, 2012. Detective Writer TV Fever-Dream Pitch. Friday was an incredibly long night of fever-disturbed sleep, in which I would get no more than 40 minutes of consecutive rest before waking up to find a new position and adjust the covers. Not a lot to cherish there. But. Perhaps because on Friday I saw the newest Richard Castle hardcover novel displayed on the New Book shelf at Luther's Preus Library) and Murder, She Wrote. I guess I'm still nostalgically clinging...

The Hour of the Machine: March 2012
http://thehourofthemachine.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
The Hour of the Machine. Monday, March 5, 2012. One of the little treats I afforded myself upon securing my tenure track English Assistant Professorship was a day to devour Anne Rice's recent novel, The Wolf Gift. I'd heard Rice on NPR talking about venturing into the werewolf as a new territory for her, and I'd recently been reviewing my reading notes/marginalia in Capital. But, to get back to Rice's novel, one of my favorite elements of The Wolf Gift. I read The Wolf Gift. Posted by Andy Hageman.

The Hour of the Machine: February 2012
http://thehourofthemachine.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
The Hour of the Machine. Friday, February 17, 2012. Over the weekend of February 3 and 4, I presented a paper at an ACM conference held at Cornell College called "The Past, Present, and Future of the Book.". At the ACM conference, I met a scholar/designer, Brad Coulter at the University of Iowa, who presented his own design work for publishing Kafka's The Trial. Inspired by an unusual book from 1968 called The Trial of 6 Designers. Posted by Andy Hageman. Thursday, February 16, 2012. A highlight moment w...

The Hour of the Machine: The Sparkly Blue Lodge
http://thehourofthemachine.blogspot.com/2012/01/sparkly-blue-lodge.html
The Hour of the Machine. Tuesday, January 10, 2012. The Sparkly Blue Lodge. Twede's, on the other hand, has retained some production photos and memorabilia on the wall near the restrooms. Otherwise, the booths are in a new configuration and they are royal blue with outrageous sparkly flecks of gold, like a blue bowling call circa 1983. Stuffed Tweety birds hang from the ceiling. They still have pie and coffee, but the vibe is gone. Or is it? It was thinking and talking about Twin Peaks. Et Eventyr i Norge.

The Hour of the Machine: October 2011
http://thehourofthemachine.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
The Hour of the Machine. Monday, October 31, 2011. Twice in recent days I've had the uncanny experience of seeing my Mom's kitsch objects playing significant roles in television programs. Watching the episode "Remedial Chaos Theory" of Community. A Norwegian troll doll is Pierce's vengeance "gift" to Troy. I am pretty certain this is exactly the same wooden troll figure we used to have on our fireplace mantel. Then, a trailer for the new program Grimm. Posted by Andy Hageman.

The Hour of the Machine: November 2011
http://thehourofthemachine.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
The Hour of the Machine. Friday, November 18, 2011. Koyaanisqatsi of the Will. I'm just now in the midst of screening Koyaanisqatsi. For my friend, the ethno-musicologist's class at Luther. It's a long time since I've seen it on a big screen and with a great sound system. During the opening " "Nature" " part, I felt very similar to when I watch Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will. A chapter I open with the following epigraph:. 8216;What exactly is it, sir, that you’re going to do? I'd have some seriou...
