changing what source material there is for cut-up, the categories on this blog have been exploded to over three thousand different individual archive links, and I’ve backed up the entire sloppy unruh site as well in this public commons space
when i started philip k nixon, it was a way of laundering content.
what I mean by that is, because of copyright laws technically I couldn’t share the media I’d acquired freely and publicly, since it was all by and large in some gray space legally as to if or how I could share
and since I had no idea wtf I was doing legally (nor why would I want to know? I’m not a lawyer, I’m a creative) I figured the way around that was to mix multiple sources I wanted to share together and put that out there
one thing led to another, here it is six or seven years later, and the internet is awash with content
there’s no longer any need for me to highlight, since the white noise has overwhelmed the landscape
instead I can wrap it all up, change the past by highlighting, and possibly bring to a close this massive binding ritual that has gone on in the shadow of the culture ever since 9-11
In a very conscious, real way, philip k nixon worked. It did what it was supposed to, and i will seal it away behind the war orb and the mad star in completion.
I’m toying with several titles, currently the working title for side one is RAID0 KAOS and for side two Glass Windows.

The Index of Shitty Mornings | Jason Stackhouse | alterati “Penectomy is a fringe event, I’ll admit. Statistically, you’ve got pretty good odds of keeping your equipment intact if you steer clear of gorgeous psychos. Yes, madness is alluring. Yes, crazy people tend to have room on the old dance card and access to interesting drugs. But be advised that they can and will do crazy shit, sometimes to you. I’ve been duct-taped, fucked, and abandoned in northeast Philly by gothic hotties. Once, I kissed a presumably sane lady and left her to shower at my place while I headed to work. I came home to my back door nailed shut, my front unlocked, and a missing pillowcase. The pillowcase I almost understand, but why nail one door shut and leave the other swinging open? I was almost relieved when her boyfriend got out of jail, though I never asked his feelings on the matter. Last I heard, they’re married again.”

#w20app so I don’t wand over the crystal ball too heavily, I’m not prognosticating but I’m pretty damn certain that friendfeed is damn near about to eat twitter, if the sudden jump in followers isn’t indicative. I’ve been wondering when the twitter facebook dichotomy would collapse onto a new nexus, and with friendfeed’s shiny new interface, it’s integration capabilities, and the fetishization of existing strands of digital shadow that it offers, I suspect it’s the next big #w20app (web2.0 app) I’m on it, you can find me at the usual <a href=”http://friendfeed.com/zenwerewolf”>orthogonal shadow</a> that powers some of the other automation out there

Steve Wolfram: Crank or Visionary? » The Center for Science Writings – tv continues to offer fascinating chats on all manner of science-related topics, and not just when I’m involved.

British Physicist Stephen Wolfram Set to Revolutionize Science – Stephen Wolfram believes he has discovered that much of the universe can be understood in terms of simple programs – similar to, but far simpler than, those run by computers – rather than by means of traditional mathematical equations.
