Thesis statements should be (1) current, (2) titled, and (3, ideally) accompanied by concise summary/abstract.

Work posted on this blog should be accompanied by some explanation (and even questions).
 


the above, mainly devoted to Josh — “tracks”, extended out across 36 pages, for subsequent interventions thereon.
(The calculation shown is 8 inches into 260 inches = 32.5 inches... notional only, as neither page size nor margins have been determined.)

JM mentioned the idea (remembered from Frank Zappa) that if the beat/rhythm is right, the particular notes don’t matter. And mentioned Frank Zappa teaches Steve Allen to play The Bicycle (1963) : link : youtu.be/QF0PYQ8IOL4 (about 16 minutes long, and pretty good).

Thea (lower right), imagining relationship of great-grandfather’s handwriting to type (or reverse).

Thursday

Patrick showed new iterations of product treatments (for earbuds) and The Sopranos : link

JM responded that in both, the earbuds were usefully ambiguous, might be spaceships, etc., or elements being juggled. JM pointed to opening scene of the old Startrek DS9 — link — where you don’t know what things are, immediately.

Patrick then pointed to trailers/advertisements for a new Xbox console —
Xbox Series X|S – Power Your Dreams Trailer : link
Xbox Series X, Dreams Within : link
