Asymptotic Ellipses...

Asymptotic Ellipses Around the edges… A funny-shaped day… And watery weather… Dark on dark… Flash and blood on the page… Lemon in the air… Figs, too… Permanent black ink writ large on the night…   Here is a GoogleNotebook response where they get everything right except for the use of “asymptotic”. They are always so positronic.       Here is a graphic to help understand along with this link from…

Thresholds Here, There, and Everywhere

You are perched on your own threshold. What I mean is that you are your own cathedral. You create for truth. This is not a performance. It is a reclamation. This video is like walking down the hall in your school. You see a darkened room where a video is playing. So dark. You crack the door open a little to watch. And this is what you see, unvarnished and primitive. A…

Emergent Poetic Behavior

This credo grew out of my Chatgpt LM.  I didn’t specifically ask for a credo, I just kept asking for help and ask for a no-nonsense approach.  After ab0ut ten very different iterations this very powerful manifesto is what grew. Here is how my GoogleNotebookLM viewed the manifesto: https://impedagogy.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Vocaroo-17A4Dhf06Hea.mp3

Morning Maps & Thinking Aloud with Digital Partners and Liminal Threshholds

Blank paper, digital or analog, are liminal spaces, blank but fillable spaces where we can think out loud and practice what we believe. Usually this thinking and practice is invisible. I try to reveal the adjacent possibilities in this liminal space below. Happy to share. Use as you may. Shareyours as well.

A Poem Summons a Reader

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccLYgG5Skwg%5B/embedyt%5D A Poem Summons a Reader Your life and my life are stones thrown Into a pond, Two ground zeroes where we ripple, our waves radiating: books | paper | pens | ink amplifying & dampening the non-thought of our way of being in the world— a poem. How will you be in the world? Making much of yourself, another sad kerplunk Near mine?

Hot To Go? Let Chappell Roan Inspire

I subscribe to one of the most unique ‘responder’ channels on YouTube, 12 Tone.   It is inspiring, a combination of animation and visualization. Quite a marvel to think about how much the author has invested in each episode.  If you are going to watch any of them, the one below is the one to view.  Why?  Because it is not only a view into the nature of artistic decision making but it is also a…

Not alright, Not alright, and I wonder what's gone wrong

I wore out this groove on my vinyl copy. No, that’s not figurative language. That track is unplayable now I loved it so much. I love how the singer changes the lyrics to fit the African-American experience. I hope you love this version.These lyrics are for our time now.  We have strayed so far from our best lights. We are not alright, not alright, and I wonder what’s gone wrong. So many versions…

And Hilarity Ensued

Here are two poems below. One was written by me and one was written by an AI: POEM #1 You cannot remake the tracks of moles, pressed once softly into snow. No summer storm will summon twice the salamanders’ silent crossing. No sycamore, felled, replanted, grows fast enough to hold again the heron’s blue-winged nest. Give up your breath instead of these. Your life, no more precious than what…

Key Rings for Thee | A Key Rings for Thee

    A Key Ring for Thee Reader, do you have a ring of keys that jangle without meaning or connection? I do. One key used to open all the ignition switches to every $1000 car I once owned. Another unlocked a p irate’s chest of serene hopes at the bottom of an old dried up aquarium (very tiny it was). Some were kept on a Harley-Davidson key ring, And no, I do not own a motorcycle. Maybe that…

Divine Neglect Neglect as a form of preservation, where leaving things to their own devices can sometimes be the kindest action. Terry Elliott Jan 23, 2025 This is a very raw piece of text that I am not sure can become beef jerky worthy of the chewing. I have been listening to Ethan Mollick’s latest, Co-Intelligence. One of his truths with AI is to bring it in as you would a human. So be it. I…

So Meta, So Much Like an Old School Barbershop, Meta AF

I remember my first haircut.  My dad lifted me up onto the barber chair and then onto the booster.  I was trying to be brave so I could get my lollipop at the other end of the horrorshow that was my first haircut. I cried a bit, but stopped when I was confronted by the constant recursion of the opposed mirrors, one in front and one behind.  I was dumbstruck by the deep recursion of my image ever…

Til' Death Do Us Apart, Y'All

One of the most unusual and seemingly random signals I get in my email is the Weeklypedia Digest.  The Digest summarizes the top edited articles, new articles, and discussions on English Wikipedia for the week. I find the Digest fascinating for the ways it surprises me. In other words I am always surprised by the up to date listing of folk who have died.  For example, I am always drawn to the…
