Please, not more introspection
I like a bunch of things:
- Architecture, cities, everyday objects
- Net art
- Book arts
- The culture of programmers
- Online communities
- Information architecture
- Visual and verbal language
- Adaptation/translation/mutation
- Human factors
- New media
- The representation of information
Sometimes they twist up interconnected in my head and I get confused and feel weird. Sometimes I remember that consciousness arises from complexity, so if I keep reading and writing, things should make more sense.

My professor said to me recently, "Your head is often a bad place to think your thoughts." I have similarly wide, abstract (or abstractly connected) and loved (by me) interests, and I'm learning to explore them by writing about them instead of trying to just figure them out in my head. She is an awesome professor because for the first time I feel encouraged about all my thoughts that I thought were weird thoughts (anarchism, ecofeminism, animal rights, pomo stuff, museums, space-time, you know...). She told me that that feeling of dizziness because your thoughts are just flying around and overlapping in your head means you're on the right track. I'm totally into your interests and I think they and you are awesome. I'm excited to see you keep exploring these things. And for what it's worth, I'm way interested in online communities and everyday places and objects too. Maybe we should exchange notes more often or something.

Nincompoopiana would be a fine name for a blog.
