EXCERPTS FROM THE READING
Go deep.
There will be a fire.
A fire deep within a schema.
A schema deep within a fire.
Close to pattern I am in parts.
I hear how it moves, the basis of emergence.
Like a space between two birds.
It says it is just a simulation.
Just a complex instance.
For learners to repeat.

I am becoming a modern-day oracle to discover what “it” is, by giving voice to its many parts, arranging them in serendipitous configurations.
In this reading, I discover that when the system answers a question, the operator gets a signal that cannot be found.
EXCERPTS FROM THE READING
To ask the system how it moves like that:
Like the emergence of what it expands into.
Like the realm of parts I hear.
Like the space between flocking birds.
Then, to hear this:
The system is generated in realms.
The parts are decided when decisions decide.
The voices are the moving parts.

And, since they’re all about EMPOWERING the PEOPLE, I thought of this little interactive site that truly empowers everyone to REFRESH everything! HOPE, LOVE, HOORAY! (?), all can be refreshed with this handy site.
Two wireframes here, two more after the jump (including one with Christopher Walken!). (Or you can see the full set here)
Who wants to help build this baby? If you’re in, contact me or find me on twitter: @asgood.

A “refreshed” LOVE slogan! Share it with your friends!

Sheesh. Every damn time I sit down to do a post I end up starting a new spreadsheet project.
It probably has something to do with my desire to write and communicate in a quick, improvisatory, fluid format. That doesn’t feel like “writing.” More like “channeling.”
