squak squak! yur little magpie bringin' gize shiny tings from around the web!

the role of a poet? perhaps sharing a moment of humanity from a particular era/place... songwriter? the song...

Carl Sagan's Cosmos:
retrovision.tv/freevideo/cosmos-1980/

brought on thoughts of Alexandria:
in particular- www.newalexandria.org/menu.html

www.newalexandria.org/works/infosculpt/index.htm

might be interesting, finding/talking to people down the road. finding other poetry websites, forming some macro-community efforts of some kind. An outreach program, so to speak. Lot of people doing good work out there. Might be something as simple as sending a tip of the cap from time to time.

this is our little sandbox sure, but hey. it's a big playground out there.

Working in the mines right now, so I haven't got the links digested just yet, but I agree with this line of thinking.

Linkage is good. Here's a link of my own explaining someone's version of an internet map:

upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c...nternet_map_4096.png

Locate us and then perhaps revolutionize, or at least contribute to, new uses of this so-called, for too long now, "Space."

I think the internet has run its glossy course; those that find applicable connects that are less/more than trendy social sites may do something more attuned to human vs. cyber connectivity e.g. are we really going to cyborg out with all of these gadgets forever?

Is something much more biologically sane in order? Does anyone at all remember what it was like not to know the speed of car travel? Plane travel?


Love,

I love Carl Sagan, he said:

All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value.

As much as I'd love to support any links to his videos, I abhor commercialism attached to anything of such great merit. Even if it is outdated (which is kind of impossible considering how cool he is to geeks like me) he's a wonder to watch.

For me, there can be no exceptions. I've been to Hulu, watched Family Guy on Hulu, even gleaned a few episodes of The Outer Limits; what I cannot accept is the run to commercialize the internet. Little blips that are not really part of our lives, just inserted there by outside influence and monetary intention.

I believe there must be choices that obliterate suggestion as much as possible. It's an old complaint. I'll not rant anything faux extremist. I would like to find linkages outside the commercial boxes; that's all.

The second links are interesting. I see where you're going although I do not fully understand the work. Information that can bend around snags and monies. After all, shouldn't "money" go to work like this (if deemed worthy and beneficial) instead of the system that creates the loop of glitter and glam?

In short: would Sagan support the commercialization of a young academic once proved marketable?

Perhaps we're small change, our little sandbox exclusive to the links we've developed over the years; but doesn't that allow us to rid ourselves of the blips and bleeps that perpetuates a stifling industrialism blocking Sagan's whale songs?

All these utopias over the centuries, can we reach just one that doesn't give in to the constructs of dominion? Oh, Oh, what the world of printing has become.

Perhaps too many questions : : perhaps too many answers withheld !

Pertaining to the Role of the Poet:


Yes, YEs, and YES ! ! ! !
