very little

I said I'd write more on aesthetics and ideas, but I really only had one more thought to make. I still weigh aesthetics into the "practical" - the other day I told Myer that I had given up the functionality of FireFox for the beauty of Safari. I've since gone back to FireFox (and ahead to Flock now and again) but the theme remains. Beauty - as problematic my relationship may be to that word, we're learning to get along for better or worse - often works as my divining rod for culture, theory, technology, etc. I gravitate towards beautiful things. I'm happy to report though that as my world of beauty sprawls into places I never thought I'd go, it has lead me also to thoughts I never expected to have. I guess I'm on the sound poetry square of the monopoly board right now - still dodging hotels.
