Also, yesterday in the mail came a slim volume, the CD-ROM of Chris Marker's Immemory, a very poetic, idiosyncratic and gorgeous meditation on memory, which the user navigates in a highly poetic and idiosyncratic way. It only recently became available again--if anyone wants a demo, I'd be happy to share. It requires the Mac OS X to run.
I wish I could watch this instead of grade. But I must grade.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. Where else could I find photos and lectures and music and poetry and little bits of you that remind me in so many ways why I am so glad that I know you.
ReplyDeleteI had to watch that clip for my class last semester. if i weren't so grumpy about having to write a paper today for my current class, I would have something to say about old tim berners-lee and the semantic web.
ReplyDeleteI might note that Lee invented HTML for free (well aside from his salary from CERN.) It is a credit to CERN, as well, that they didn't patent HTML.
ReplyDeleteCory wants you to know that Tim Berners-Lee also wrote the first web server in objective C on a NeXTSTEP machine, which was the predecessor to Mac OS X. And that he *did* invent the World Wide Web.
ReplyDeleteHe was just certain you'd want to know that. Don't you wish you had a husband that knew such fascinating things?
Jessie, I am in fact very pleased to know this. I'm just irked that I didn't know about TB-L in the first place. So thank him for me. I appreciate you passing on the highly relevant and fascinating info!
