100 I Dream

Foreigner is an album released by English singer-songwriter, Cat Stevens in July 1973. In addition to the minor hit “The Hurt”, which received a moderate amount of airplay, Foreigner also included such songs as “100 I Dream” and the 18-minute-long “Foreigner Suite”, which took up the entirety of side one.

Cory Doctorow: upbeat cynic?

I have no evidence to offer,
for I have failed to
take note of the Doctorow
I’ve consumed.

But I’m sure if you dropped in on any one of
his public offerings you’d find multiple examples.
The world will get worse—and better…
through the hard work and dedication of
the pure and virtuous!

Cory Doctorow: zealot?

So, I’m in the middle of a redesign—check out the new menu! I like where it’s going.

I also replaced my hand rolled post info toggle with Mathias Bynens’ Bulletproof HTML5 <details> fallback using jQuery using Joe Anzalone’s WordPress plugin HTML5 Details Polyfill.

I’m getting FOUCed and I can’t figure out where it’s coming from. The plugin is loading the CSS and the jQuery in the footer of the page, I wonder if it should be loaded first to avoid the blink. I looked at the plugin code and it seems like that’s the intent, I don’t know what it is about my WP installation that is causing the code to be loaded last.

Meanwhile, I have an idea for a poem. It’ll be something like this:

metaphor

What spins the kalachakra?
Nothing, it’s just a metaphor.

anxiety is bursting at the seams
depression is recoiling into a safe cave
and mania is loving every bit of you!

Who spins the kalachakra
No one, it’s just metaphor.

The insights discovered in meditation are primarily non-conceptual. They concern the nature of experience — and to the extent that this can be expressed, only poetry or metaphor will serve.
