iamb the walrus: Halloween Progress: Prop Mic
http://iambthewalrus.blogspot.com/2013/10/halloween-progress-prop-mic.html
Sunday, October 13, 2013. Halloween Progress: Prop Mic. So, I'm building a prop radio mic out of plumbing parts and window screen. And this is my third time scrapping and rebuilding. BUT I PERSERVERE! There's a lot of gorilla tape going on because it's strong and NVCR is. A public radio station so how big could its budget be? I'm sure Cecil has had to repair a lot of equipment after contract negotiations with station management. Good Morning, Listeners! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Im Liz, damnit!

iamb the walrus: Collaboration
http://iambthewalrus.blogspot.com/2013/08/collaboration.html
Sunday, August 25, 2013. Oh my god, I cannot understand how SpouseUnit works in his workspace. The dimensions are all wrong to me, no object is kept where it makes sense, and I don't care for his chair. Not at all. But we're working well together :) Yesterday, after an indiscretion at the local AC Moore (supply splurge for both of us) he started a side project with Poe's Raven. He did the image yesterday, and I did the lettering this morning. Here he is, putting in some inky blackness on that bird's wing!

Monday, September 30, 2013. I visited the Cloisters yesterday with a friend, and I took this shot from a staircase. I'm not editing it because I just realized how cool it is - there's very, very little in here to connote that this view is from 2013 and not far earlier :) Most of the light was sun, and the image of people wandering around the effigies in the shadows - it's fairly evocative!

iamb the walrus: On evidence, argument, and disbelief
http://iambthewalrus.blogspot.com/2013/09/on-evidence-argument-and-disbelief.html
Saturday, September 14, 2013. On evidence, argument, and disbelief. Hmm, not my best title, but it's fuck o'clock where I live and I've not had any coffee :). It was because I popped into wakefulness so early that I found my latest craw-stick thought. Sometimes when I can't sleep, but I don't want to leave the warm nest of my bed, with spouse and dog snoring beside me, I read the intertubes on my phone. Usually this will lull me back to sleep, but today I stayed up. Let's put on our tinfoil hats and try ...

iamb the walrus: "All those people, all those lives Where are they now?": The moral quandary of morbidity
http://iambthewalrus.blogspot.com/2013/10/all-those-people-all-those-lives-where.html
Friday, October 4, 2013. All those people, all those lives Where are they now? The moral quandary of morbidity. Should dead bodies/relics be displayed, how, and by whom? From: Heavenly Bodies: Cult Treasures and Spectacular Saints from the Catacombs. The article that inspired this series of questions:. Dead Bodies and Archaeological Corpses: Aesthetics and Body Worlds. But the question comes to mind: whose dead? Should it matter how they're displayed? Or from any extant culture? Say an American archaeolo...

iamb the walrus: This is how it feels
http://iambthewalrus.blogspot.com/2013/10/this-is-how-it-feels.html
Wednesday, October 2, 2013. This is how it feels. Ok, so I have these things in my head. Most people would call it depression and anxiety. I don't call it anything since I'm more concerned with dealing with it than naming it. I don't like saying I "struggle with depression" because it's cliche'd and to be honest, I'm not struggling, I'm accepting. This crap is part of my head, and it's probably not going to do away anytime soon. So I had better come up with some sort of plan. This leads to a tremendous a...

iamb the walrus: Passion: a Big! Messy! Draft!
http://iambthewalrus.blogspot.com/2013/10/passion-big-messy-draft.html
Thursday, October 17, 2013. I stole an hour today and talked with someone about the death and strange afterlife of passion in contemporary American society. We were just bullshitting, and didn't bother to interrupt the human exchange to cite sources and name-drop researchers, so this, its direct outgrowth, is quite informal and all over the map. Deep libidinal feeling is bought and sold, traded on an abstracted and ephemeral market of news feeds and photo streams. Satisfaction and desire are reduced ...
