Handwriting vs Typing – What ya Notice

On April 4, 2019 By Alex V. WeirIn Alex Weir, Philosophy, Psychology, The Fractal Journal, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Just some odds and ends on the creative process. You notice a lot when you take the time to write things out.

Also, it’s the 2nd quarter of 2019 – O dear…

*(Nonetheless has an E.) ~ So there actually was a mistake but…this doesn’t detract from my main point.

Fractal Radio | Episode 30 – Dusty Pens and Blank Pages

Don’t rely on technology to overcome your laziness. A nicer pen and notebook will gather dust just the same as your BIC and that yellow legal pad. These are the things I discuss along with the frustration of coincidences involving hats.

Fractal Briefs | Emo Sugar

On November 25, 2018 By Alex V. WeirIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Just some informal thoughts on how something as simple as one too many twinkies can lead to some odd disruptions of homeostasis in surprising ways. Holy word salad batman! Watch the video….the thought doesn’t lend itself to easy description.

Supporting Evidence:

A classic shock jock flashback. Clearly emos are the result of sugary sodas saturating the burbs. I hope to win the nobel prize for this observation. I’m a naturalist in the tradition of Darwin, Audabon, and Drake. Don’t deny it…

Signs of Decline – Searching for British Naturalists online results in nude people. Nothing against nude people but I’d prefer naturalist mean guy who geeks out about butterflies in a Victorian Parlour not a chubby Englishman who’s lost his underwear.

Fractal Radio | Episode 27 – Art and Physical Fitness

On November 11, 2018 By Alex V. WeirIn Philosophy, Psychology, UncategorizedLeave a comment

My hand hurts…I segue into a discussion on the relationship between art and physicality. There is a sort of trope that artists are disaffected and dysfunctional – that substance abuse and abandon are the key to greatness. I present an alternative theory.

Then I talk a bit about Goethe and Bach. Finally I finish off with some tunes.
