If your device does not recognize a font, it renders little boxes in the character space—unofficially called “tofu.” Google and design company Monotype have been working for over 5 years towards creat […]

The merger is part of an ongoing trend toward verticalization of assets thru subsumption, so there will in all likelihood be more to […]

I do the same thing when trying to recall something I read in printed text: recalling spatially where on the page it was, and how far into the book or chapter it appeared. It’s not so […]

In this case in particular, I could imagine something useful falling out of this data for […]

I misspoke in class: Nicholas Felton was the person I was thinking of. I saw him speak earlier this year at the games & culture conference two5six. He is a graphic designer, and […]

The genes inherited by an organism (genotype) become […]

In the midst of McCarthy Jones’ ocean of acronyms it hits me again: that squirmy, Alva Noë feeling—that there’s something else going on. McCarthy Jones is upfront enough, but what […]

I have scans out of an anthology that include an essay by Rorty entitled Human Rights, Rationality, and Sentimentality. The idea gets floated there; I’m not sure it has taken a more explicit […]

Indeed, it is beyond need for reevalution.

As might be expected (given our consumerist baseline) the […]

Bechdel’s style worked strongly with the story she was telling, paralleling the development of her sexuality with her discovery of her fathers. The last several pages, relaying a kind of culmination […]

It does seem like there is something discordant “within” him, but I wonder if it’s more a discordance with external structures […]

Before I lay out in earnest my own story dealing with McAdams, I’ll just comment that László provided a nice survey of this new landscape—but really I’m not that concerned with things like verifiability and […]

Which seems to work ok conceptually, but there are many practical […]

Here is drawn a distinction between ‘consciousness’ […]

I must admit to expectations of a coarse materialism or scientific literalism—and I am happily corrected. I have […]

Like with Hustevedt’s quest for understanding, it is interesting to visualize even in this abridged space the trajectory of such an […]

One thing she does so well, and I believe you pick up here, is revealing confusion in a juxtaposition of “normal” / “abnormal.” […]
