Thanks for stopping by. I am in the process of phasing out my .mac website, in favor of my personal domain www.itswhatitis.net. I now have a tool to load videos to the site, in Windows friendly files as well. This site will be trimmed down to a couple of pages of information, but all the videos, and more, will be located on itswhatitis.net.
"...one who earned her living at the archaic intersection of information and geography? The offices the girl rode between were electronically conterminous -- in effect, a single desktop, the map of distances obliterated by the seamless adn instantaneous nature of communication. Yet this very seamlessness, which had rendered physical mail an expensive novelty, might as easily be viewed as porosity, and and as such created the need for the service the girl provided. Physically transporting bits of information about a grid that consisted of little else, she provided a degree of absolute security in the fluid universe of data. With you memo in the girl's bag, you knew precisely where it was; otherwise, your memo was nowhere, perhaps everywhere, in that instant of transit."
---William Gibson, "Virtual Light"
And now....a bit from "Neuromancer" by William Gibson:
Cold steel odor. Ice caressed his spine.
Lost, so small amid thhat dark, hands grown cold, body image fading down corridors of television sky.
Voices.
Then black fire found the branching tributaries of the nerves, pain beyond anything to which the name of pain is given.......
"The Winter Market" by William Gibson:
"You know what your trouble is?" he says when we're under the bridge, headed up to Fourth. "You're the kind who always reads the handbook. Anything people build, any kind of technology, it's going to have some specific purpose. It's doing something that somebody already understands. But if it's new technology, it'll open areas nobody's ever thought of before. You read the manual, man, and you won't play around with it, not the same way. And you get all funny when somebody else uses it to do something you never thought of. Like Lise."
