The Great Concavity: September 2011

http://greatconcavity.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

You'll Know It When You See It. Saturday, September 24, 2011. We are a people;. Who stare out into middle distance. My father would stand in the kitchen of my grandfather's apartment. Smoking under the humming exhaust fan. Staring into some undiscovered country. In the cabinet where the old man kept his cheerios. As for me, I remember places I have lived. By the things I stared out at during long sleepless nights. In Ohio, it was a tiny shoddy house,. A sort of standalone tenement apartment,. I am drinki...

The Great Concavity: The problem with "the future"

http://greatconcavity.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-problem-with-future.html

You'll Know It When You See It. Saturday, April 06, 2013. The problem with "the future". Bruce Sterling's 2013 SXSW benediction. Has been talked about over the course of the last month or so, as is usually the case with his contributions to the conference. Cory Doctorow clearly got a kick out of it. In retrospect, I think I understand what Sterling is going for. He wants to avoid what he perceives as a sort of guilt-laden retreat from movement and experimentation. The tendency that makes young pe...But t...

You'll Know It When You See It. Sunday, April 07, 2013. If you only read on explanation of the Marxist concept of "commodity fetishism" today, make it this solid summary of the idea. And how its misuse in contemporary scholarship by Gavin of Unfashionably Late. Gavin is also one of the under-appreciated stars of Marxist-Leninist weird twitter. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Great Concavity: April 2012

http://greatconcavity.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

You'll Know It When You See It. Friday, April 13, 2012. There is an impromptu veterans' reunion between rows 13 and 14. Together they count through the locations. The first one says. Me, I was in tanks. They would call us in. And tell us put that main gun. The second one asks,. Why don't they just put. More doors on these planes. So we don't all have to go. Through one little door? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My Evil Twin, My Slippery Double. The Finest Mike Dubose. Reviews of Stuff by Me and Dr. Alex.

The Great Concavity: A modest MOOC-posal

http://greatconcavity.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-modest-mooc-posal.html

You'll Know It When You See It. Friday, April 05, 2013. Only the most excellent teachers can teach well enough to out-perform MOOCs. MOOCs can teach the skills ordinary people need to become excellent. Run a MOOC to teach teaching and make MOOCs obsolete. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My Evil Twin, My Slippery Double.

The Great Concavity: December 2011

http://greatconcavity.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

You'll Know It When You See It. Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Dallas to Nashville 12/12/11. When departing Dallas, you should plan a route that clears the Dallas-Fort-Worth-Metropolitan Axis as rapidly as possible, like escaping the gravity well of a dying star or the blast radius of a dirty bomb. Then begin travelling in the direction of your destination. The highway interchange connecting Houston to Texarkana smells like cabbage and natural gas. Surely no one is surprised by this. There is a young man ...

The Great Concavity: Quotidian

http://greatconcavity.blogspot.com/2013/05/quotidian.html

You'll Know It When You See It. Friday, May 10, 2013. Midnight, Addison Texas. The low haze that swept in after sunset is all alight now, bouncing back the city like the sky is enclosed in a single mercury bulb. The lights of the bank offices and insurance companies north of the belt line float in it, outlines of their buildings obscured by bright haze. Still I'll have the stars again, at least.

The Great Concavity: April 2013

http://greatconcavity.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

You'll Know It When You See It. Tuesday, April 09, 2013. If this front doesn't break soon, I will. 83 and muggy in April is just uncalled for. Uncalled for, Dallas. I'm going to sit and watch the skyglow for a bit and see if the rain starts. Its an activity that calls for whiskey, but I'm out of calories for the day so I'll have to stick to sparkling water. Dunno, hard to say. Anyway, that will be for another day. Right now, gonna see if this front breaks. Sunday, April 07, 2013. Saturday, April 06, 2013.
