worth revisiting: cdpdn in 2011
30 Dec
For all the posting I did this year, I don’t think I hit as many personal “wow” writing notes this year. Most of what I ended up posting was “link and short response” and “oh look at this thing” blogging, which, while valid art forms, don’t really exercise the writing muscles much. However, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t some stuff worth looking at, and pointing to here at the end of the year, when it’s customary to do such things. Not as many think pieces, perhaps, but there’s still some good enough content that I think deserves a little light shined on it. Here are some of those pieces, in not entirely chronological order:
- the surprisingly long life of the incorrect lesson
- smart phone, one week in: novelty and paranoia
- go away, little one
- benefits with friends
- you realize you brought this on yourself
- balticon wrap-up, and a short elegy-ish thing for missed opportunities of youth
- an imperfect application of a Gordian Knot allusion
- getting to the bottom of the conversion narrative
- still not very good at this
- end of an era
- the value of the journey – when the road less travelled becomes the main throrofare
- a retroactive, meandering mission statement
- time…keeps marching on
- Calypso: 1997-2011
- for want of a Sharpie®…
- those two “f” words
- a grand day out, at peace with the universe
- the entirety of the “cut out racks” series of record reviews
