CAVEAT DVMPTRVCK

Best hyperbole ever!
He aquí los pensamientos aleatorios de un epistemólogo andante.
"The immediate task of philosophy is to unmask human self-alienation in its unholy shape." - Karl Marx
"i" before "e" except after "c" - disproved by science!
"A blog is the height of ego and narcissism, rivaled only by the act of procreation, or the wearing of a man-bun." - Jamie Wahls
"Anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days." - Flannery O’Connor
"Down through the centuries, the notion that life is wrapped in a dream has been a pervasive theme of philosophers and poets. So doesn't it make sense that death, too, would be wrapped in dream? That, after death, your conscious life would continue in what might be called "a dream body"? It would be the same dream body you experience in your everyday dream life. Except that in the post-mortal state, you could never again wake up, never again return to your physical body." - spoken by a character in the excellent movie Waking Life (2001).
"The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane." - Marcus Aurelius
"If I had a dollar for every time I got distracted, I wish I had some ice cream."
Sometimes setting yourself on fire sheds light on the situation.
"Tenho o dever de me fechar em casa no meu espírito e trabalhar quanto possa e em tudo quanto possa, para o progresso da civilização e o alargamento da consciência da humanidade." - Fernando Pessoa
피할수 없는 고통이라면 차라리 즐겨라
As of June, 2013, I have assumed a new identity: I am a cancer survivor. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
This world, for aught he knows, is very faulty and imperfect, compared to a superior standard; and was only the first rude essay of some infant deity, who afterwards abandoned it, ashamed of his lame performance: it is the work only of some dependent, inferior deity; and is the object of derision to his superiors: it is the production of old age and dotage in some superannuated deity; and ever since his death, has run on at adventures, from the first impulse and active force which it received from him.
- David Hume, in Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, 1779
A blog, in the end, is really not so different from an inscription on a bone: I was here, it declares to no one in particular. Don't forget that.
- Justin E. H. Smith
재미없으면 보상해드립니다!
All things are enchained with one another, bound together by love.
- Nietzsche [really!]
Leviticus 19:33-34
Business is a good game - lots of competition and minimum of rules. You keep score with money.
- Nolan Bushnell
What if we're not conscious, we just think we are?
Donc, si Dieu existait, il n’y aurait pour lui qu’un seul moyen de servir la liberté humaine, ce serait de cesser d’exister.
- Mikhail Bakunin
Solvitur ambulando.
Only thoughts reached by walking have value.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Los Angeles is to America what America is to the world.
- someone on the internet
Art is not a projection of self, it is an utterly alternate self.
Loneliness. Did ya know that loneliness will kill you deader than a .357 Magnum? Did ya know that?
- Andrew Sims (Rapper)
Matthew 25:34-40
Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to soliloquize. Where was I?
- the villain Heinz Doofenshmirtz, in the cartoon Phineas and Ferb.
Is seer periculeus voor de onbekende, om aan te doen.
- Hendrick Hamel
Liberty and justice for all
Offer not available in some areas
Prices subject to change
- internet meme
I will buy a 32 foot ladder at home depot, and I will make America pay for it.
- a Mexican
Psalms 51:17
Do unto others 20% better than you would expect them to do unto you, to correct for subjective error.
- Linus Pauling
I dream of a world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned.
여유있는 태도를 잃어서는 안 된다
Blogging online since 1965

My name is Jared Way. I was born in rural Far Northern California, and became an "adoptive" Minnesotan. I have lived in many other places: Mexico City, Philadelphia, Valdivia (Chile), Los Angeles. And for 11 years, I was an expatriate living in South Korea. In the summer of 2018, I made another huge change, and relocated to Southeast Alaska, which is my uncle's home.
I have a background in Linguistics and Spanish Literature. Two decades ago, I was a database programmer. Last decade, in Korea, I worked as an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teacher. Currently I'm a ne'er-do-well retail clerk and freelance website administrator living amid the Alaskan rainforest.
In June, 2013, while I was in Ilsan in South Korea, I was diagnosed with cancer, and underwent successful treatment. That changed my life pretty radically.
Currently, you could say I'm "between jobs," somewhat caretaking my uncle (to the extent he tolerates that) and getting adapted to life in rural Alaska after so many years as an urban dweller.
These bloggings, then, have been my random jottings on the subject of my mostly pleasant life among the Quasi-Confucian Cyber-Industrial Paleolithic Peninsulites of Lower Far Siberia, and my more recent time spent on the Free-range Insane Asylum known as Southeast Alaska.
I started this blog before I even had the idea of going to Korea (first entry: Caveat: And lo...). So this is not meant to be a blog about Korea, by any stretch of the imagination. Life in Korea, and Korean language and culture, inevitably played a central role in this blog's incarnation for many years, and life in the rural, temperate rainforest plays an important role these days.
Basically, this blog is a newsletter for the voices in my head. It keeps everyone on the same page: it has become a sort of aide-mémoire.
For a more detailed reflection on why I'm blogging, you can look at this old post: What this blog is, and isn't.
If you're curious about me, there is a great deal of me here. I believe in what I call "opaque transparency" - you can learn almost everything about me if you want, but it's not immediately easy to find.
A distillation of my personal philosophy (at least on good days):
I have made the realization that happiness is not a mental state. It is not something that is given to you, or that you find, or that you can lose, or that can be taken from you. Happiness is something that you do. And like most things that you do, it is volitional. You can choose to do happiness, or not. You have complete freedom with respect to the matter.
"Ethical joy is the correlate of speculative affirmation." - Gilles Deleuze (writing about Spinoza).

Caveat: Tree #1567 “The rain came”

2023-05-12, 20:30 2023-05-13 A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree experienced a substantial rainfall.

Caveat: Poem #2473 “Did I plant that?”

2023-05-12, 05:52 2023-05-12 A Daily Poem / Book 4 / Cinquain / My Poetry & Fiction

ㅁ
Some plants
which put up sprouts
in the greenhouse's dirt
have remained unidentified.
Some weeds?

– a cinquain.

Caveat: Tree #1566 “Skyward”

2023-05-11, 20:05 2023-05-12 A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree plotted an escape skyward.

Caveat: Poem #2472 “El campo de espejos”

2023-05-11, 05:39 2023-05-11 A Daily Poem / Español Aleatorio (Random Spanish) / métrica romance / My Poetry & Fiction

ㅁ
el sol brillaba muy fuerte
lo cual me hace imaginar,
y sin entender, la muerte:
azul abstracto, como mar.

– un cuarteto octosilábico.

Caveat: Tree #1565 “An outing for fuel”

2023-05-10, 20:53 2023-05-11 A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree bore witness to my journey to the metropolis of Klawock, where I purchased fuel. We no longer have a gas station in Craig, so fuel purchases require a 7 mile trip to the next town up the road. You can see there’s still a lot of snow on the mountains to the east.

Caveat: Poem #2471 “The drive home from work”

2023-05-10, 05:47 2023-05-10 A Daily Poem / Book 4 / Haikuish Objects / My Poetry & Fiction

ㅁ
the sea is all blue
there is snow on the mountains
but the road's dusty

– a pseudo-haiku.

Caveat: Tree #1564 “Rock-catcher”

2023-05-09, 20:12 2023-05-10 A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree (which has been decapitated) has caught a rock. It’s a bit hard to see how it fits in, but there is a fairly large rock wedged between two of the cut-off, upthrust branches. I’m wondering how it got there – it’s a few feet off the ground.

Caveat: as if they were flowers

2023-05-09, 13:03 2023-05-07 Not My Poetry

All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace

I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.

I like to think
(right now, please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.

I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.

- Richard Brautigan (American poet, 1935-1984)

Caveat: Poem #2470 “Ancient dreaming”

2023-05-09, 05:04 2023-05-09 A Daily Poem / Book 4 / My Poetry & Fiction / Nonnet

ㅁ
Years ago, when I was much younger,
I used to have "animal dreams."
Mostly I would run and run,
like a joyful, wild dog.
Sometimes I would rage,
crash among trees.
But these days,
no such
dreams.

– a nonnet.

Caveat: Tree #1563 “Robinson Crusoe”

2023-05-08, 19:56 2023-05-08 A Daily Tree / Banalities & Journaling / My Garden / My Photos

This tree had a mountain behind it.

I built a shelf in my greenhouse. I was particularly proud of the fact that I used entirely “found” and “trash” items to build it – wood abandoned on the side of the road, some particle board shelf pieces found in the dumpster at work. I get a “Robinson Crusoe” feeling when I can do something like that, which pleases me.

Caveat: Poem #2469 “A celeric resurrection”

2023-05-08, 05:48 2023-05-08 A Daily Poem / Book 4 / My Poetry & Fiction / Nonnet

ㅁ
I guess I'd put some celery there,
up in my low-tech compost pile,
to the side of the greenhouse.
Yesterday I saw sprouts,
green leaves coming out:
the celery
suddenly
put roots,
grew.

– a nonnet.

Caveat: Tree #1562 “A glowering sky”

2023-05-07, 19:10 2023-05-07 A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree waited below a glowering sky.

[daily log: walking, 2km;]

Caveat: Poem #2468 “The rendering real”

2023-05-07, 06:09 2023-05-07 A Daily Poem / Book 4 / My Poetry & Fiction / Nonnet

ㅁ
The keyboard presents its contoured cubes,
a topography of new signs,
potential semiotics,
captures my attention;
it has its own feel:
still unfulfilled,
sensuous,
patient
words.

– a nonnet.

Caveat: Tree #1561 “Throwing shade”

2023-05-06, 20:50 2023-05-07 A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree shaded some emerging huckleberry leaves.

[daily log: walking, 4km; dogwalking, 3km]

Caveat: Poem #2467 “Concretization of the a priori”

2023-05-06, 05:08 2023-05-06 A Daily Poem / Book 4 / Cinquain / My Poetry & Fiction

ㅁ
city:
full of nouns, verbs...
all parts of speech deployed
for some discursive purposes;
made real.

– a cinquain.

Caveat: Tree #1560 “Salmonberry blooms”

2023-05-05, 19:22 2023-05-05 A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree saw spring’s first salmonberry blooms.

Caveat: April, 2023, User Statistics for OGF

2023-05-05, 10:35 2023-05-05 Databases, Smartphones & Computers / Geofiction

[This is a cross-post from my other blog]

Here is a detailed user summary data for April (I’ve decided to do these monthly). These are the results, ordered from highest number of objects touched to lowest number. I think number of objects touched (nodes, ways, relations) is a more meaningful way to evaluate user activity than changeset counts, which are highly variable depending on how individual users use available tools to connect to the database (iD vs JOSM, etc).

Caveat: Tree #1558 “Magpie tree”

2023-05-03, 20:53 2023-05-04 Uncategorized

The spider traveled up the wall,
its focus on some goal.
The surface made its progress slow:
it stumbled at some hole.

Caveat: Tree #1556 “A reculvertization”

2023-05-01, 20:12 2023-05-01 A Daily Tree / Banalities & Journaling / My Photos

This tree saw that a new culvert was installed in the neighbor-to-the-east’s driveway. This has been a needed improvement for a long time: the old culvert was too small and would flood their driveway (and ours, adjacent) when there was a lot of rain. Which is pretty often.
