Writer's Strike and Content Glut
The Writer's Guild Strike, first in nearly 20 years, has not affected consumers noticeably. Perhaps most readers/consumers are oblivious to the strike, as they may be oblivious to the glut of blog content generally. We lack a sewage system in this digital river...the aggregate secretions of wetware clogging the collective zylem and phloem...How to purge and flush?
How to find the "pearl of great price"? What is worth reading..for that matter..what is worth an allocation of mindspace? Not unlike the daily challenge to the creative force: which creative urgings are potent enough to nurture- which are fed...and which whither..what to consume?
Tonight: Computers and Evil: lecture at Stanford University
On my list: Snorri Sturluson (Icelandic 13th century poet/historian) Prose Edda. (Check the Gutenberg Project).
Sharing: April 16, 2007 New Yorker article (author John Colapinto) on an Amazonian hunter-gatherer tribe called Piraha*, who are monolingual and consider any language other than their own "crooked head"
* A tilda over the last "a"
