The Pilot

This is the pilot post. No content as yet except for this image of a sand castle I neurotically built (or excavated) on Popham Beach, Maine on August 10, 2008. I'm also using this shot as my ID photo on both LinkedIn and Facebook. I imagine I will think better of that idea before long. My sons found and placed the shells in the porticos (?) and named it "Temple of the Clam." And so it was. (But also, I couldn't remember what Petra looked like.)

Aphorisms:

  • Luis Buñuel: “Now, like most deaf people, I don’t much like the blind.”
  • Philip Guston: "Art is the frustration of the desire not to make art."
  • Sharon Stone: "You can't sleep your way to the top. You can only sleep your way to the middle."
  • Spike Jones, Jr.: “One of the things that people don’t realize about Dad’s kind of music is, when you replace a C-sharp with a gunshot, it has to be a C-sharp gunshot or it sounds awful.” (as quoted by Thomas Pynchon)
  • Walter Benjamin: "And today the book is already, as the present mode of scholarly production demonstrates, an outdated mediation between two different filing systems." From "One Way Street," Reflections (Demetz, tr.; Schocken, 1978), p. 78.
