“Technology in the Present Tense” – Notes from a Weary Luddite
“Perceiving technology in ‘the present tense’ requires a rejection of the hope for how the technology can be changed in ’the future tense’ and forces a more grounded assessment of these technologies.”
“The future is not a blank page; and neither is it an open book.” – Lewis Mumford

"It's all bullshit, folks and it's bad for ya” ― George Carlin
Open almost any current media or communications channel for longer than 5 minutes in 2022 and one thing becomes abundantly clear: It's all bullshit, folks and it's bad for ya. Like being stuck in a terrible video game with brain-dead NPC's malfunctioning left and right. Any yet, one has to be very thankful for this situation as it painfully forces one to seek out the few pockets of sanity that are left. Good night.

Everyday Magic
For some repairs around the house, had 2 handyman here the past 2 days. The first one's appearance was surprisingly similar to a gnome. The second one's atmosphere was strikingly similar to a enlightened monk. Both had peculiar smells and looks. Even though our interactions were brief, both handyman shared words of wisdom as parting gifts which impacted my consciousness profoundly. In this magical universe we live in, one never knows when and where the blessing will appear from. Always be ready.
