…you got me thinking…if there is ONE image where I can not SEE the difference between beign near the original OR the image disconnected from its artist or original creation surface…its the SCREAM…this is more or less one KEY image in the meta journey to the difference between “real” and “virtual”….Thank you….*screams*

Comment on A lament in the wilderness by Bunny

Beautifully written! Crying out doesn’t seem a failing to me at all. I find it reassuring to know there are those who see the way you do; without those laments I think the integrity, honesty, artistry, beauty, passion, grace would start to fade away. i think Dylan Thomas’s line “Rage, Rage against the dying of the light” can apply here! When things feel tospy turvy and inside-out, far better to cry out against the things that seem wrong than to merely accept them as the status quo in my small and quiet opinion.

Great subject very relevant to the times. In my experience contacts that once were exclusivley online have evolved into phone calls and, snail mail and even face to face visits. I found that once your out of school you are limited to making new friends with coworkers, which is a limited pool. But yes I agree with the loss of the viseral quality of experience when reasearching places and things. The Net should enhance not replace hands on exploration. Its like most useful tools double edged. I loved this article would love to see more on this subject.

So . . . when’s the next PlurkTalk – and, more importantly, what’s the next book or topic in line?

I had you in mind as I wrote that part, Ms. Design.

This is how I feel about the book vs. kindle debate, Michael.

I agree, Gordon, it’s very hard to find friends post-school. Working alone, that’s why I joined plurk in the first place…for some kind of contact. But I definitely feel the need for 3D friend time!

This subject had always fascinated me. There are so many ways to look at it and everyone brings something new to the discussion. Every time I think about it, I come up with new nuances. And I’ve been doing it long enough that the majority of my close acquaintance call me Kermit or Frawg.

Thanks for the great comment!
