Let's see. I lost my job in February, worked in Chicago for a month or so (May to June), moved back to the Detroit area in mid-June, got a job at a wonderful company, living with some people I met through Craigslist (they needed a housemate), back in school for journalism/publishing... that's about it. It's been a crazy year.
Hey J, welcome back.
I noticed your little paw print around the last few days, but i'm not big on commenting lately. Good to see you, hope everything is going well.
Why did you move?
i read it in teh same time i read normal typing.. then again, you realize that this is how i type normally.. so Its nothing new to me haha.. nor you, since you read my journals haha missed ya xo
The brain is a handy little decoder, isn't it? Imagine if we could perceive every tiny detail of daily life in its own unique contextual moment, missing nothing and remembering everything like the Borges story, "Funes, the Memorious." Trip out. Thanks for the kind words, by the way. I've been in Jalisco for a week just stone cold lampin'. Now I'm refreshed, tan, gordo from all the cervezas y comidas ricas, and back in the thick of it. There's a good site maintained by the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona which is more or less at the forefront of the field. I forget the exact address, but Google it and it'll come right up.
By the way, I greatly admire your Alex Grey tattoos.... but the stain-glass DNA replication peice is phenomenal! As a biologist I really think it's fantastic!
All of my work is done by James Kern's brother Tim. Those Kern boys have the magic touch!
I read an article just like that a while ago; It was about how the brain can read the word as a whole if all letters are in disorder except the first and last. It's completely fascinating...
