.........................
20131024v+The original would be the author imagined text guiding the physical production that becomes the text, or abandon idea of real behind text. (764)3.1.2
20131024u+My version of CSS insists on experimentation beyond crafting fortuitous deformations, the default: seems like all bets are off in the region of indeterminate cybertext, where the Big Other is likely to most clearly speak to humans. (778)3.2.2
20131024t+Immersion the difference between hypertexts like Afternoon and cybertexts like Adventure. (778)3.1.2
20131024s+Examples of nonlinear rhetorical unit operations, following Pierre Fontanier: forking, linking/jumping, permutation, computation, polygenesis. (777)3.1.2
20131024r+Cybertextuality adds ontological category of simulation. (777)3.1.2
20131024q+MUDs are to be experienced, not read. (776)3.1.2
20131024p+Indeterminate cybertext, for example MUDs, beyond genre, not against genre. (775)3.1.2
20131024o+Absent structure of determinate cybertext is the plot. (774)3.1.2
20131024n+The game Adventure as example of determinate, ergographic cybertext. (774)3.1.2
20131024m+Difference between hypertext and cybertext is the latters self-changing ability. (773)3.1.2
20131024l+Bush memex user modeled after traditional academic author; hypertext jump equates to switching print texts, the lest topographical mode of nonlinearity. (771)3.1.2
20131024k+I Ching as expert system, readerless text; this answers a question I have been asking myself for years. (769)3.1.2
20131024j+Four degrees of nonlinearity, from static to indeterminate dynamic cybertext. (768)3.1.2
20131024i+Four feedback functions in addition to interpretive function of user: explorative, role-playing, configurative, poetic; note theorists seem to present sets of four or so key concepts (for example, Ryan). (768)3.1.2
20131024h+Variates applied to nonlinear texts (see Texts of Change): toplogy, dynamics, determinability, transiency, maneuverability, user-functionality. (767)3.1.2
20131024g+Basic units of texts are textons, which are arbitrarily long strings of graphemes, plus traversal functions. (767)3.1.2
20131024f+Textonomical version of topology studies ways various sections of text connected in terms of intentional design rather than physical appearance. (766)3.1.2
20131024e+Texts are cross products of linguistic, technological, historical matricies. (766)3.1.2
20131024d+These transboundary phenomena trace human machine symbiosis. (765)3.1.2
20131024c+To study textuality in its situated, media specific and cultural contexts, asking about textualities as what Hayles describes as shimmering signifiers how it may occur in virtual realities computed by machines, living in the thoughts of machines and passing through human thoughts as well. (765)5.1.1
20131024b+Scales of change of metamorphosis; compare to Berry modes of software. (765)3.1.2
20131024a+This is a bizarre claim to which on first reading I object giving the example of ontological interactivity that lies and pretends to be linear: perhaps Aarseth intends the obvious, believing that all print texts are linear, static, and that static texts do not secretly compute; and nonlinear as implying ontological interactivity require their electronic substrate. (764)3.1.2
20131024+Informative and interpretable aspects of texts. (763)3.1.2
20121127+Thus texts and technology studies emphasizes ethnography over textual anthropology, primarily operating in text, hypertext, and cybertext investigations. (778)3.1.3
20120825+Compare this to Ryan myth of the Aleph, and Castells invoking the Aleph from Borges for the totalizing submergence of prior discrete media into digital processing, the real virtualities in which we now live much of our perceptual lives: this is really a description of how running software may be understood as texts, along with images, too, going far beyond the zoographia grammata unit operation of antiquity through postliteracy. (765)3.1.3

20140604i+Absence of student-teacher contact in learner-centered environments attributable to institutions treating students as commodities and instructors esteeming student knowledge at expense of deauthorizing their own. (188-189)2.2.4
20140604h+Mentors mistakenly assume approval leads to students working more to continue their inquiries; learner-centered classrooms do not lead students to seek out instructors outside class. (186)1.1.1
20140604g+Treating disaffected youth as injustice indulges them and downgrades authority position of mentors, devaluing remote traditions for having no bearing since their only prior justification was by the rhetoric of recanting mentors; intellectual independence sabotages tradition. (185)1.2.1
20140604f+Indulgence of youth weakens already fragile continuity of tradition; connecting adult thinking with unpopular war further weakened it. (182)1.2.1
20140604e+Effects of educators indulging youth are routine irreverence and knowledge deficits; implied argument is that educators are at fault for participating in pedagogical practices that take indulging youth as a given, justifying, for example, gamefication. (181)1.1.1

20140604+Even the successful Art Show neglects cultural authority of artistic heritage, tradition carried by books by valorizing self-contained perspectives of student artists under influence of digital social media, thus by implicit a fortiori argumentation the eighty percent rest of mass communication is consumer oriented limited intelligence, restricted vocabulary outlooks as possible machine other perspectives. (173-174)2.2.4
20140603z+Youth more disengaged from culture the more mentors engage them in their own terms; digital technology fosters segregated social reality. (200)1.1.1
20140603y+Young Americans need teachers who give them less relevance, less indulgence, and more relevant, adult role models; Bauerlein believes this loss results in less time spent in out of class activities that complement class work. (199)1.1.1
20140603x+Development of healthy self criticism in light of tradition lost, not happening, and not being discussed; it is social and shortsighted. (198)1.3.4
20140603w+Overly optimistic assessments of student proficiency by high school versus college teachers one consequence of indulgence by mentors. (197)1.2.1

20140603u+Twixter vision is social, peer oriented rather than knowledge oriented perspective cultivated by long habituation with books. (172)2.2.4
20140603t+Twixters are natives of projective city, their aimless lifestyle justified as journey of self-discovery before engaging in their ultimate life work project, for example plateauing with doctoral dissertation and discipline defining works. (170-171)2.2.4

20140603m+Nielsen research highlights what works, reminding us that the Web is now a consumer habitat, not an educational one; children develop habits the undermine classroom goals. (149)1.1.1
20140603l+Nielsen Norman research shows Web reading less creative and complex than enthusiasts claim, forming reading and thought patterns focusing on retrieval and consumption. (148)2.2.4
20140603k+Nielsen Norman model of web users reveals little sustained linear, word for word reading habits, lack of concentration and otherwise insufficient reading habits for the 80 percent; to improve they need to develop more basic literacy and patience, not more computer literacy and screen time. (143-144)1.2.1
20140603j+Screen reading not a supplement for digital natives but replacement for linear thinking, its new habits taken as inevitable. (140)2.2.4

20140601p+Studies evaluating elearning often use measure of student enthusiasm to judge educational benefits, and most digital initiatives fall short for lack of long term outcome differentials than nonparticipants; seems difficult to assess longer term outcomes for fleeting direction of techniques, which we call culture, learning environments, ultimately influencing development of learning styles and quality of lifelong learning itself. (119)2.2.4
20140601o+Situation of poor writing at school and energetic writing at home fails to consider negative effect of popular technologies. (118)2.2.4
20140601n+Information and Communications Technology literacy an appropriate rubric for rating knowledge activities accomplished with digital electronic technologies developed by Educational Testing Service for profit United States corporation, whose findings revealed poor digital literacy skills.

(8)1.1.1
20131020a+IBM was gripped by its amoral corporate mantra and dazzled by its universe of technical possibilities; collective intelligence, punch drunk with newly discovered organizational possibilities of automated high speed tabulating, sorting, and printing machinery, materialized in the German populace as what Hannah Arendt called the banality of evil, such that actors like Adolf Eichmann would fail to admit any sense of wrongdoing. (8)1.1.1
20131020+The book IBM and the Holocaust by Edwin Black, which American digital humanists ought to be obliged to read as part of their philosophy of computing canon, begins with a reproduction of a 1933 Dehomag (Deutsche Hollerith Maschinen Gesellschaft M-B-H-Berlin-Licterfelde) advertisement featuring the word “Überssicht” (oversee), an all-seeing eye enlightening an IBM punch card form of early mechanical computing, a factory sporting a massive smokestack, and the words “mit hollerith Lochkarten” (with Hollerith cards), alluding to the commencement of a horrifying holocaust narrative implicating IBM machinery and its employees and partners in America and Europe with their bureaucratic counterparts in the murderous Nazi regime like Adolf Eichmann, the subject of Hannah Arendt banality of evil; however, I find the human machine situation of WALL-E more indicative of the transformation of humanity by modern digital computing, comical future descendants of what Hayles refers to as the dumbest generation, whose comfortable spaceship utopia plays upon the horrific reality of the movie The Matrix whose human beings are never awake as embodied.

20130910s+Imagine in a virtual reality game setting, to propose alternate forms of democracy, political action, and consumer engagement to explore philosophical question of how would a generation of casual programmers alter engagements with procedurality. (124)3.2.4
20130910r+Games still unterritorialized by ideology, yet have been part of political discourse all along. (120)3.1.10
20130910q+Rules of the game Tax Invaders construct unit operation for conservative frame on taxation; use of procedural enthymeme. (108)3.1.10
20130910p+Understanding code supplements, not essential to studying procedural rhetoric of videogames; address from top down through procedural literacy rather than bottom up through code literacy. (62-63)3.1.10
20130910o+Persuasive technology tools of captology are not critical deployments of rhetoric; foreground psychological manipulation, not dialectical user responses. (61-62)3.1.10
20130910m+Serious games designed for educational purposes but may not interrogate institutions and worldviews. (57-58)3.1.10
20130910l+Distinguish between persuasive games, persuasion to continue playing, and rhetorics of play: unusual Atari VCS Tax Avoiders game exemplary. (46)3.1.10
20130910k+Dialectics have broad media ecology: distinguish between ability to raise procedural objections by altering game play and emergence of dialectical reasoning about the subject whose proceduralities are represented in the videogame; example of The Grocery Game, which allows modification of rules of shopping by automating otherwise too costly behaviors for saving money with coupons and timed bulk purchases at particular grocery stores, and peripherally criticism of game mechanics in message boards substitutes for modifying code. (37)3.1.10
20130910j+Procedurality belongs between actual experience and moving images with sound on Hills vividness continuum from most to least vivid information, and they mount propositions with internal consistency of program execution; seems linked to ideal of living writing in antiquity as best rhetorical mechanism. (35)3.1.10
20130910i+Exemplar of procedural rhetoric is The McDonalds Videogame, whereas Grlpower Retouch and Freaky Flakes do not exhibit procedural rhetorics despite being provocative, must address vividness and dialectic; compare to active versus critical learning for Gee, and critical code. (29)3.1.10

20130910d+Example of Socrates trial for ideal of efficient causation in ancient rhetoric can be extended with favorite Cicero example; enthymeme and example are other rhetorical figures. (15)3.1.10
20130910c+Procedural tropes include natural language processing, text parsers, and models of user interaction: crucial to Bogosts thinking is their commensurability with forms of literary and artistic expression supporting the trope analogy. (13)3.1.10
20130910b+Software studies could go off and document the PLATO computer education system, which illustrates procedural rhetoric by simulating tenure acquisition. (1)3.1.10
20130910a+Crucial to note that Bogost focuses on human oriented rhetorical domains, whereas the path I steer is right into the inner workings of machines with the rhetorical outcome of instilling programming as problem solving and even a way of conducting humanities research. (ix)3.2.4
20130910+Procedural rhetoric defined as persuasion through rule-based representations and interactions. (ix)3.1.10
20130123+Procedural enthymemes complete the claim by playing the game, which may include listening; thus by procedural rhetoric games exercise often clever and unexpected biases in our actions, which when uncovered and critically engaged potentially inspiring radical change (Badiou event, and so on). (43)3.1.10
20130113+Interesting to think of target markets for future games as the elderly, who do not need to learn how to live well but genuinely wish to be entertained. (292)5.3.1

20130912d+Use of communication to describe human machine relationship: that the final paragraph suggests ringing a bell or flashing a light to signal to the humans that the computation is complete, or has halted (Turing), of course reflects limited capabilities of the time but also institutes a human centric locus of the interface; other theorists and science fiction writers till take up the other possibility, that humans adapt to the machines, to the extent of synaptogenesis and into the technological nonconscious of the latest Hayles.

20130609+Attack on computer science as among shallow, late, universal capitalist endeavors of age of commercial professional training fits with critical tone of Deleuze Postscript and dismissiveness of Derrida and Zizek: Ulmerian concepts and my flossification, short lines, and Heideggerian meditations on electronic devices aim to escape this critique by animating creative multipurposive (choric) making. (10-11)5.2.1
20130606+Programming creates runtime phenomena that are more than products, such as languages and other machines that autonomously build other things, the way philosophy creates concepts, valorizing those who eat their dogfood; fitting that Nietzsche is invoked, suggesting Bogost, also invoked by Kittler and others for being aware of how such activity in turn affects the humans performing it.

20130916b+Contradictory nature of archive fever is stepping out of draft into which all writers never wish to cease being engulfed (Heidegger WICT). (91)2.1.2
20130916a+At an extreme, the idea is that all Freud writings and the writings about Freud writings must pass through the language operation only feasible in French programmed by Derrida as a hypomnesic or technical archive; his later casting as a three plus one argument structure is morphologically indistinct from numerous common algorithms employed in software projects. (84)2.1.2
20130916+Archive fever is a form of the death drive related to both oedipal violence and release of thought to hypomensis. (80-81)2.1.4
20130915z+Important to remember this text is dedicated to his personal computer felt when he saved a file; I am offering other possibilities for intuiting machine embodiment than this example by Derrida of saving a text, for whose production we supposed he expended personal life time and sensed its expenditure as part of a double inscription per Ulmer AG.

20130915x+Nonbelief in the future makes great space for focusing on analysis of past through real-time analytic encounter, in which by definition nothing new can occur: thus primary injunction is to remember to remember the future. (74)2.1.2
20130915w+Notice the argument for why Yerushalmi subsides into Freud corpus an example of inclusion of large bodies of working code as in line units within another: Derrida calls this programmed, determinate machine operation a door, dreaming of Benjamin, forcing the question of whether we not him writerly readers have to reread or read for the first time not the text of Benjamin we are used to reading. (67-68)3.1.3
20130915v+Enhanced way of thinking of the virtual utilized by Zizek who regrettably rejects software studies in favor of cinema studies as the proper locus of investigation connects with Ulmer concluding AG on the electronic paradigm articulating this newly appreciated reality of the virtual in terms of Pierce dynamic objects and interpretants. (67)2.2.5
20130915u+A long parenthesis that extends not merely to the next page 64 but all the way to the top of 67 in which we reading trust the Derrida knows what he is doing, allowing putatively correct code to be concealed. (63)3.1.3
20130915t+Is this what has become of Socrates divine sign, mass consumed as slips and errors for Freud, where spectral response forms Barthes myth concept (see diagram), and closest link to Derrida is to remediate the babbling phantom of subvocalization with text to speech synthesis? (62)3.2.2
20130915s+Critical information hidden in revision history; discursivity and priority of the reading subject still reigns in this conception of deferred obedience. (58)5.2.1

20130915n+Propose a ridiculous function that points to an offset from the end of a code section, a new operation performed with and upon the logotropos by machines in a form functionally equivalent to the work a human thinker memory maker would have done, like humans trying to understand, using recent Bogost terms, what it is like to be an electronic device, machine embodiment, forms of alien temporality whose virtual phenomenological manifestations (media presence) virtual virtual realities depict: at this shimmering signifier cyberspace we go beyond Derrida reflecting upon his own sayings with his Macintosh portable computer. (26)4.2.1
20130915m+Second citation for the exergue is from Yerushalmi, which must be important if it left such a strong impression on Derrida, or is he just doing with texts (thus as logocentric) what OGorman recommends with hypericonomy? (21)2.1.2
20130915l+Theory of psychoanalysis becomes theory of institutional archive as well as of memory. (19)2.1.4
20130915k+Rather than the E-mail or other technological factors, Derrida seems more concerned with Jewishness, remembering this book stared with Derrida analyzing his own immediate speech, read against The Telephone Book, which is obsessed with Heidegger receiving a call, whereas my take on this thread of the possible questions raised for the study of texts and technologies considered free, open source software and learned Latin, of initially computer languages in general and learned languages: their unnaturalness grants affordances along with being the mirror of the resonant tomb of sound reproduction. (17-18)2.2.5
20130915j+Two orders of questions raised by thought of Freud using email: relationship between technology and theoretical model of psychic apparatus, and between technology and history of the psychoanalytic institution, both topics Kittler examines. (16)2.2.5

20130915h+Death drive is archive fever. (12)2.1.2
20130915g+Archive as hypomnesic is computable because it supports virtual memory for everyone, even its author, the primary coder as if it was self software. (11)2.1.4

20130915d+Divert quickly by pointing out that his choice of passive archive and rhetorical concept, like Heidegger and Ong turning away from programming, when complemented with designing software systems to support machine contemplation of these texts, makes a place to do generic philosophy of computing instead of anthropocentric philosophy: remember he is meditating upon being forced to come up with a title for his presentation a year in advance in the temporal order of a telephone conversation. (5)1.3.1
20130915c+Consignation the term for domiciling operation of coordinating a single corpus articulating unity of ideal configuration, with hints at idealized operation of memory and formation of units. (3)2.1.2
20130915b+Archive implies physical and social operations, commencement and commandment. (1)2.1.2
20130915+The typographic aspects of the latest Derrida makes it hard to capture in my C++ HTML notes system, which is best suited for book form media, the old way of doing scholarship; thus it is worth noting the first large lexia begins unheaded in the table of contents: is there any surprise he was using a Macintosh to compose it? (1)3.2.2
20130627+He does not know what he could be pondering saying to have spoken about his computer beyond pondering experience of a certain hypomnesis and prosthetic experience of the technical substrate, not being a programmer who may have let the machinic other speak too in ways impossible for the Mystic Writing Pad and fortuitous deformations collected by McGann. (25-26)3.2.2
20121130+Derrida feels this study of Freud is universally applicable to all historiography: what is erased, was missing in analytic philosophy, the unknown knowns being realized in all disciplines; compare this example of extremely discursive subjectivity to accounts offered by embodied cognition theorists, especially Hayles and Clark. (30-31)3.1.3
20121126+Primary entry point, use, function, interaction with Derrida runs through the fact that he thinks about his thinking with the little portable Macintosh in which he stores his work by pressing a button, juxtaposed with the storing of the Freud family Bible. (23)3.1.3
20121019+Like a computing effect, the surety of logotropos, absolute, performative rhetoric: compare to legal documents today, and include Cicero on the way to truth being concealed in programmed constraints such as the need to dynamically generated the text on a certain day of the year. (63)2.1.2

(159-161)5.2.1
20130916s+Could this play be like practicing programming, even writing games, but avoiding playing them: classic problems that are difficult to express and solve with writing are routinely solved in computer architecture, programming languages, and coding conventions, as the following three as well. (158)5.2.1
20130916r+Contained play could also be compared to sense of communication theory as another example of how computer technology easily instantiates forms difficult for human writing, where it must become serious and hence erase itself, as in serious games. (156)5.2.1

20130915i+Derrida does not tarry on the response by Phaedrus to Socrates question of whether they could discover the truth themselves rather than inquire what the ancients said in myth: seems like flip side of C compiler self-compilation account given by Tanaka-Ishii, an inevitable programmed outcome. (74-75)4.1.1

20130915+We can study how Derrida assembles texts, although his method if converted to software would nonetheless be bounded by recognizable characteristics, enframed as these texts however they were assembled are dynamically made present in virtual realities; he admits the book form cannot effectively theorize what I will concretize decades of thoughts as computational media, including that which which he writes his books.

20130124+Thanks Tanka-Ishii for laying out the stakes (types of signification, reflexivity, recursion) that mirror the aims of living writing: the foundational work is hard for humans, easy for machines, with side of non-philosophy instantiated in programmable machines to contain undecidables as initial states of variables and registers; what Plato was not clever enough to articulate and Derrida can only do with the entire material operation of his work as a one-off, hard coded example, the synergistic positive feedback of living writing, is routinely done by programming.

20120219+Can this passage into philosophy be tied to programming philosophy into popular digital culture as yet another way around the problem Derrida poses by concretizing it as working code, and what to make of the comparison between the ignorant, accidental use of drugs and medical techniques read in books with the surface enjoyment technological comportment Turkle argues is the very result of postmodern thought being true, in the sense of accurately describing this evolution of the human condition?

20130916d+Cage was fascinated by electronic devices, but did not write computer software empowered by a background environment producing the rest of the auditory field he pretended unable to imagine: recall how Sterne carefully extends the reach of technological systems when he interprets discrete constituent elements like specific models or family classes like telephones to include the entire chain of systems supporting its existence in any particular instance, including tone tests, electrical distribution, legal institutions, and capitalist businesses.

20120925z+Concretization is especially apparent in shifts in the methods, functions, and other designs through iterating systems of versions of software system components. (218)3.2.2
20120925y+Justification for Feenberg based on the affordances of complexity versus a single interpretation invites the study of technological concretizations, and for him democratic rationalization; my choice working code seeks to study the technological unconscious not from the relaxed, spectral perspective of the Freudian analyst, but rather from hacker (bricoleur) methodologies in the midst of the activity as a key participant, which requires nontrivial familiarity with the default technologies in use, which current are FOSS and TCP/IPv4 networking. (218)3.2.2
20120925x+Associating Simondon concretization, elegance, and multipurposiveness. (217)3.1.4
20120925w+Selection of simple examples such as hammers and jugs as leading to oversimplified analyses of technical objects and their situation within complex networks for which the division into primary and secondary instrumentalizations makes sense; likewise, the complex, multilayered supply chains that make up typical technologically-oriented business processes differ radically with the simple, two-step movement between technically-oriented producer and non-technically-oriented consumer, where there is normally a number of intermediaries in the movement between producers and consumers: in intermediary positions, technologists work together, albeit in producer/consumer roles. (216)3.1.4
20120925v+Perception of technology oriented toward a use feeds back into the notion of reified value (price) based on the extent to which use is met. (211)3.1.4
20120925u+This brief return to Heidegger sets the stage for Feenberg synthesis of all of the positions he has reviewed so far, as well as his initial discussions about the May Events and the environmental debate; gathering aspect of technology in secondary instrumentalizations integrate it into surrounding world. (199)3.1.4
20120925t+Recall Heim claim that scholarship needs a cybersage, not more Heideggers resigned to the nostalgia of hunching over writing tables in their mountain huts leading to high level of abstraction blind to details. (187)3.1.4
20120925s+Technical devices and programs must be informed by collective choices about the good life or they have no reason to be conceived; there can still be much confusion here, such as when the Microsoft slogans Your Potential, Our Passion and Where Do You Want to Go Today seemsto leave ideals of the good life up for grabs by enabling the pursuit, whatever it is. (180)1.3.3
20120925r+A fundamental insights of Feenberg approach, also apparent to Drucker and McVarish in their study of the history of graphic design. (176)3.1.4
20120925q+In addition to professional ethical standards and other forms of structuring technical areas with normative components that have little to do with efficiency per se, FOS licenses like the GPL play a powerful role as technical codes in actualizing this transformation in a permanent manner. (143)3.2.2
20120925p+Exemplar of participant interests is the global, open source development community/network like Sourceforge, where users and developers interact in steering the evolution of products, with feature requests, bugs reports, support forums, shared documentation; even commercial, proprietary software companies invite their users to participate in beta-testing, discussion forums, and voice of the customer activities. (140)3.2.2
20120925o+To a large extent we do apply democratic standards, such as in the selection of open document formats; nonetheless, just as in normal politics, those initiatives are influenced by lobbies from powerful corporations like Microsoft. (131)3.1.4
20120925n+Favored examples of the French Minitel system and the Internet itself have been eclipsed by the activities of the FOS movement, especially the proliferation of GNU/Linux in government and business computing environments; furthermore, these development communities foreground the underdetermination of technical codes and devices in their largely transparent, easily reviewed transactions and toolsets. (128)3.1.4
20120925m+An example of margin of maneuver in many businesses is the use of telephones, email and instant messaging to conduct business communications, while at the same time offering workers an outlet to gossip, chat with distant friends, and otherwise recover a social dimension that had been repressed by the cubicle office design; possible that the proliferation of cross-functional teams and other subordinates initiatives owe some of their success to such maneuvering. (113)3.1.4
20120925l+Feenberg talks about soviet rationalizations in Transforming Technology; here micropolitics are the domains where individuals can make changes by selecting, voting, commenting, and participating, which is the sort of activism that powers the FOS movement, and it is greatly aided by the Internet. (105)3.1.4
20120925k+Ironically, reflexive design takes calculative thinking to its logical conclusion, being as inclusive and comprehensive as possible in the analysis of requirements so that the social dimensions are necessarily part of design. (90)3.1.4
20120925j+With software the embodiments of political implications is very rich while at the same time concealed by familiarity and the sense of necessity when engaging in them by users already constrained by their overall computing environments, for instance, having to agree with a EULA or other click-through agreements in order to enable use commodity applications and websites that are now part of everyday life, made clear by Lessig; here Latour idea that technical devices embody norms that serve to enforce obligations literally enforce them, arriving at Feenberg notion of technological hegemony. (80)3.1.4
20120925i+The importance of fit developed by Pinch and Bijker is evident in the selection of electronic technologies such as personal computers, their operating systems and software, mobile electronic devices, automobiles, and so on. (79)3.1.4
20120925h+This ambivalence of technology plays out in his differentiation of primary and secondary instrumentalizations. (76)3.1.4
20120925g+When it comes to the spiritual pollution of using technology systems that do not offer freedom, or only narrow degrees of freedom within fixed configuration options, both workers and consumers suffer. (63)3.1.4
20120925f+Feenberg views May Events as stimulus to changes reducing the dominion of capitalist technocracy that have occurred since. (43)3.1.4
20120925e+Can the structure of this analysis of May Events of 1968 be carried over to the free, open source movement against the capitalist, cathedral mentality of proprietary, closed source software and hardware companies? (22)3.1.7
20120925d+Clearly the constructivist position profits from the relative transparency of open source projects whose design evolution is documented in online developer communities; the black box nature of finished technologies is related as much to how we might learn about them, the availability of records, as the metaphysical claims of essentialist determinism. (11)3.1.7
20120925c+In his next book Transforming Technology a whole part is devoted to the ambiguity of the computer. (7)3.1.4
20120925b+The situation is much different today in the technical realm of banking and economics; the emergency bailout that just emerged from democratic control is seen as the intellectual arrogance of the Bush administration to rescue the world from financial crisis just as it tried to rescue the world from radical Islamic terrorism. (5)3.1.4
20120925a+The democratic position of sharing a role on the design process accommodates subordinate, in the sense of illiterate, non-engineer, users so their experience of technologies is not simply that of an indifferent consumer. (xiv)3.1.4
20120925+Essentialist view of technology based on impartial reason and logic that trickles down into society through via production needs to be altered to perceive its historical, social, and cultural determinations and flexibility, as Kuhn did with science. (viii)3.1.7
20120518c+Reading a hidden but discernable history of democratic rationalizations within the evolving state of the art, despite its appearance of inevitable progress via asocial forces; what he does not give much detail about is how to study this phenomenon: he talks about political solutions, focusing on manipulating human opinions, rather than hacker solutions directed at the machines in a computer as component alliance. (220-222)3.1.8
20120518b+This point again relates to the opacity of the iterations of design processes that take place in the creation of technical objects: the free, open source option provides epistemological transparency into the history of the concretizing process and foregrounds the underdetermination present in the unfolding of most technical operations. (220)3.1.8
20120518a+While Feenberg claims technological unconscious it is only present in the sedimented form expressed in the final products, noted as well by software historians, I think this view is superseded by FOSS examples whose entire history is documented. (220)3.1.8
20120518+Reaching Feenberg from web presence public cyberspace being influence reach control affect bend diffract, contrasted to Zizek parallax metaphor of knowing, media is the message taken for granted and leveraged in data streams between high speed interprocess and internetworked processes; add a fourth example to Feenbergs three that do not deal directly with software engineering to allows a different image for commercial versus FOSS like the computer as component, as alliance.

20130921l+Barthes lexia plus hyperlinks and anchors plus interactive dynamic interface machinery. (119-120)3.1.7
20130921k+Long Bush quote compared to Nelson summary because he defines many key terms and concepts, including a direct link to cyborg in memory supplement and associative indexing, which links to Barthes, literally instantiating the arbitrariness of signification; makes important point that information moves toward user instead of forcing user to embrace machine, which solves retrieval problem of enormous masses of information like books in libraries, making all informaiton ready-at-hand, easily recalled from long term memory via external machinery, not just static signs. (118)3.1.7
20130921i+Constructive semiosis symptomatic of ontological rather than aesthetic interpretation of databases. (115)3.1.7

20130921g+Derivative data from ideometrical analysis versus fortuitous deformations as contribution of computing to human philosophy, positioning Floridi at McGann level theorists, seeking to stake out the territory of the philosophy of information versus that of the latter; academic philosophy crossing texts and technology territory, enumerating scientometric histriography, lexicography, stylometry, linguistic statistics, and so on, for revealing information about the infosphere that has become also answering humanities questions.

20130921f+Cyberspace as ether due to isomophism to combinations of data types percolating within databases, also a source, a place or space, location, support, from which it emerges as epiphenomenal field effects, of machine cognition; does comprehension really depend on our ability to picture the twelve sided shape derived from his formula? (109-110)3.1.7
20130921e+Interesting argument reaching infosphere model similar to mine with electronic devices; absence of statistical applications in typical textbases symptomatic of conceptual vacuum. (108-109)3.1.7

20130426+A particular compilation error manifests a problem of the type associated with machine architectures incompatibly interfaced at the level of information structure architecture despite sharing the same CPU hardware architecture. (55)3.1.7
20130122+Incompatibilities go beyond information structure architectures, having social and legal components that may be concretized in design; surprising Floridi does not make this point as a self-proclaimed critical constructionist, erhaps due to his predilection for going into details of CCT, VNM, and not C++, Perl, XML, is symptomatic of how he casts foundational computation affects and reflects how he thinks. (55)3.1.5
20121219+Individual person in cyberspace as evolving hypertext with privileged access, related to Humean theory of personality, supports involvement of technological nonconsicous to form Clark extended cognition, Hayles cognitive-embodied processes: Floridi suggests new subjectivity reverses specialist, compartmentalization trend of modernity for managerial model similar to Jenkins and Hayles by mitigation through automation, the memex memory augmentation, the original promise of living writing from Phaedurs; diatropic, horizontal interdisciplinarity compares well to Hayles and Jenkins conclusions. (130)5.1.1
20121218+Simultaneous token transmission of multiple signifier types preferred form of multi-level linearity rather than disruption one-at-a-time unit processing characteristic of traditional human intelligence, of which my favorite example is Aquinas. (127)5.1.1
20121216+Floridi offers literalism to computing on a platter of philosophies of information rather than computing or programming for constructionist approach to textual analysis; bring computing into humanities teaching soldering circuits programs. (117)3.1.7

(154)5.1.1
20130919p+Constituting totally useful time, time-table as program; connect to Castells timeless time. (150)2.2.4
20130919o+Cellular power: elements creating the man of modern humanism, organizing space and controlling activity, create conditions for machine organization of operating systems and distributed control systems, which then feed back on the project of making docile souls. (147)2.1.2
20130919n+Disciplines as methods making possible meticulous control of bodily operations. (137-138)2.1.2

20130919g+Distributed effects of public power should replace whims of sovereign. (81)2.1.2
20130919f+Increase in fraud correlative with changes in punitive practices as well as societal shifts. (77)2.1.2
20130919e+Last words of a condemned man genre also glorified the criminal, so broadsheets were suppressed and a new crime literature developed, replacing the rustic hero with the exceptional, master criminal. (66)2.1.2
20130919d+Study past history of the French penal system to write a history of the present. (30-31)2.1.2
20130919c+Micro-physics of power forming political technology of body, control operations like machines. (26)2.1.2
20130919a+Correlative history of soul and collective power to regard punishment as a complex social function. (23)2.1.2
20130919+Collective responsibility for inherent violence in justice recedes from immediate public presence, as punishment becomes non-corporal, striking the soul. (9)2.1.2
20121130+Panopticism does not yield the totalizing view that is implied in the gaze of the liberal humanist subject, but rather contextual, situated, instrumental, so there really is no big brother watching, only distributed technological unconscious (Hayles). (227-228)2.2.4
20121125+Internet proxy server analogy to central tower, visible power like Internet acceptable use messages. (201-202)5.1.1
20121124+View of soul as contingent correlative to technology of power over body, effect and instrument of political anatomy, prison of the body. (29-30)2.1.2
20120630+No doubt many works capitalize on this being as perpetual assessment emerging in various domains of discourse by orthopedists of individuality producing submissive subjects, like Florida school testing: computational rendering of individual bodies at Mettray foreshadows Nazi atrocities and modern bureaucracies of embodiment; good humanities definition (link in Mitcham) or model for AI, needing supervisory control everywhere the discipline imposed on working code redoubled, both in its overall programming component of ultra determinative nature docility, and within virtual virtual realities where such beings live. (294-295)5.1.1
20120624+Discipline creates modern individuality as cellular, organic, genetic, and combinatory, using techniques of drawing up tables, prescribing movements, imposing exercises, and arranging tactics. (167)2.2.4

20150906a+Hayles uses many Perl examples in Writing Machines. (209)3.1.9
20150906+Perl invented by Larry Wall as first postmodern programming language combining best of low and high level languages. (207)0.0.0
20150902+It is also codework, pseudocode as not well formed to compile and execute effectively since its base operation returns a character and not pointer pointer character. (236)3.1.9
20131030a+Confusion between data, code, comment also discussed by Tanak-Ishii. (195)3.1.9
20131030+Kittler refers to encrypted letters in Suetonius Lives of the Caesars; introduce Plutarch. (40-41)3.1.9
20131021a+Code: gives reasons to avoid speaking about actual code because of bizarre way that programmers are most creative; I am suggesting a different way of considering versions than the final one with all the bugs out, the terminus of Kittlers approach: is this a question of to code, or to write? (45-46)5.2.1
20131021+Code: philosophy of embodiment tie in with Turing recognizing need for knowledge of environment. (45-46)3.1.9
20130923t+Variable: programmers do practical ontology, as in account of fetch and execute variable and requirement of unambiguous indication in namespaces; see Smith On the Origin of Objects. (262 footnote 7)3.1.8
20130923s+Timeline: textual effects of timestretching. (258-259)3.1.8
20130923r+Text Virus: writing as phamakon; machinic writing stifled by virus categorization. (253)3.1.8
20130923q+System Event Sounds: now part of broader culture beyond corporate control; no mention of cell phone system sounds, but obvious extension. (246)3.1.8
20130923p+Source Code: ends with calls to cook function displayed at beginning; important that authors note example of using personal free, open source project as part of human oriented (philosophical) text, alluding to not so much critical code as critical programming study. (240)3.1.9
20130923o+Source Code: aesthetic properties of source code, preference for brief examples yields attractor to code poetry, quines, minimal code, and of course obfuscated code, which perhaps redefines beauty as extreme style. (239-240)3.1.9
20130923n+Source Code: gives examples of foss repositories and invokes Stallman. (239)3.1.9
20130923m+Source Code: basic description of the earliest electronic computing machines perfectly instantiates the possibility of artificial intelligence in cybernetic self constituting operation; let this be the definition of artificial intelligence rather than human discursive texts. (237-238)3.1.9
20130923l+Sonic Algorithm: artificial life techniques used in music software aims at creative contingency in precoded work. (233)4.1.1
20130923k+Programmability: disciplining of hardware through discretization also disciplines thinker as programmer, who is rewarded with causal pleasure. (225)3.1.8
20130923j+Preferences: Hayles too argues that the preferences and other user residue not merely mirrors but co-constitutes human brains; playing around with preferences palette is the way everyday users transcend unreflexive consumption by engaging with the representational machinery controlled outside their brains. (220)3.1.8
20130923i+Pixel: normalization of representation by pixel technologies enjoyed by rich countries hides environmental damage done by the industries that produce them, a critical hardware study moreso than software. (217)3.1.8
20130923h+Perl: intentional engagement with modernism and postmodernism by Wall in programming language design, intended to allow more degrees of freedom; relevant to critical code studies and critical programming. (210)3.1.9
20130923g+Perl: plenty of code examples in this entry. (207-208)3.1.9
20130923f+Object Orientation: difficult to enact Heideggerian change inspired by doubt while under sway of conditions built into OO products; orthogonal to typical concerns of free software advocates. (205)3.1.8
20130923e+Object Orientation: challenges deemphasis on individuality and specificity of human interaction to focus on generalized, mathematical data-exchange model characteristic of procedural programming, but nonetheless exhibits its own imperialism, biases, and limitations; compare to Hayles analysis of cybernetcs. (201)3.1.8
20130923d+Obfuscated Code: primary insight is that source code are texts interpreted by human readers, with nod to Jarry Pataphysics; footnote to Maurice Black PhD Dissertation The Art of Code. (198)3.1.9
20130923c+Obfuscated Code: most Perl poetry only needs to be valid, not interesting, representing asymmetrical form of multiple coding. (197)3.1.9
20130923b+Obfuscated Code: this entry contains some code snippets including the Commodore BASIC that is topic of recent book of the same name in the Software Studies series. (193)3.1.9
20130923a+Memory: acknowledge idiosyncratic assumptions about memory and reasoning reified in computer technologies likely due to their primary business and military motivators: can alternative designs be theorized and enacted, such as Proust example suggesting value of considering theories from other disciplines, leads to sound studies. (190)3.1.8
20130923+Lists: illustrative LISP code presented as example of ancient programming language of modern world to compare to cunieform. (177)3.1.9
20130921z+Language: codework defined; computer code distinguished from performative speech and reversible coding; need to study code to be critically informed about computers. (170)3.1.9
20130921y+Interrupt: humans are interrupts, therefore software criticism must be social; tie in keyboard and bell of Burks, Goldstine, von Neumann. (165)3.1.8
20130921x+Interrupt: makes software social, social inscription of assemblages of social relations; Derrida gram; liminal and porous boundaries. (162)3.1.8
20130921w+Interrupt: signals are software interrupts, breaking through default program flow established by the language. (161)3.1.8
20130921v+Internationalization: first of two entries so far that include source code, to develop criticism of bias for European languages built into Java locales and Unicode, thus merely technical universality in the sense it runs anywhere. (154-155)3.1.9
20130921u+Intelligence: great discussion that hints on 2x and 10x rules governing electronics, giving it the ability to behave deterministically; Deleuze and Guattari natal; and Lacanian unconscious; Kittler. (135)3.1.10
20130921t+Glitch: dysfunctional event allowing insight into alien computer aesthetics reminiscent of Freudian method. (114)3.1.8
20130921s+Glitch: communal decision to return to aesthetics of obsolete technologies like 8-bit music. (114)3.1.8
20130921r+Elegance: Feenberg relates elegance and concretization; here Fuller ties it to understanding digital literacy. (91)3.1.8
20130921q+Data Visualization: compare overcoming distances to Ihde on instrumentation, Hayles on nonrepresentational imaging such as PET scans. (79)3.1.8
20130921p+Copy: society of control docility through microcontrol user behavior built into data. (75-76)3.1.8
20130921o+Copy: meme theory expresses cult of the copy of digital era contrasted to those of imitatio and mimesis. (72)3.1.8
20130921n+Concurrent Versions System: support working code argument for understanding digital literacy as reading and writing via version control systems, including the archaeological investigation of software history (Foucault). (68)3.2.2
20130921m+Codecs: materiality of images replaced by approximate operations working within calibrated psycho-perceptual parameters. (54)3.1.8
20130921l+Codecs: motion vectors are elementary component rather than picture itself. (53)3.1.8
20130921k+Code: not really sure what is the point of his dilemma, that good code arrives only when the programmer is not thinking of words to describe the program to humans but is addressing the machine world multipurposively optimally as component, constituent, memory structure; suggest a different way of considering versions than the final one with all the bugs out so always in media res (Chun, Mackenzie). (45-46)5.2.1
20130921j+Code: overused term for law of subjecting empire holding sway. (45)3.1.9
20130921i+Code: trans-semantic optimized languages as products of technical problem solving yielded lookup tables, fetching, not cipher computing. (43)3.1.9
20130921h+Code: Viete foonote on combinations of characters sets versus crossing languages that are pronounced (blituri); tie in to high level programming languages. (42 footnote 9)3.1.9
20130921g+Code: American copyright law, and the possibility of being unaffected by its sway. (41)3.1.9
20130921f+Code: universal but necessarily technological, Roman empire (war) substrate via Suetonius allowing Antony link. (40-41)3.1.9
20130921e+Class Library: entire entry is Perl source code with large comment sections providing needed context that is imagined to be run to produce the message as an embodiment of procedural rhetoric simultaneously enacting automatic capitalist class operations. (39)3.1.9
20130921d+Algorithm: logic plus control; machine embodiment of rationality. (19)3.1.8
20130921c+Social life of knowledge; renewed interest in what literatcy should mean: Hayles and digital literacy, Mateas Procedural Literacy. (10)1.3.3
20130921b+Make the list: software art, concretization, epistemological transparency, alien temporality. (8)3.2.2
20130921a+Hayles media specific approach; also alludes to Robert Johnson, Feenberg, and FOSS epistemological transparency. (4)3.1.8
20130921+Tukey first to use the term software. (2)3.1.8
20130522a+If only more philosophers had been programming back then is reduced by lack of feasibility operating rhetorically like ancient literary reading formant synthesis conventions, audible techniques repeated in centuries of writing techniques. (45-46)0.0.0
20130522+Code, to Kittler, presents an insoluable dilemma yielding random buzz either way, either society producing human working code software industries full of casual philosophers, or, after turning over to machines to do the work on their own with humans merely tending their server farms, extended cognition descends into necessarily inexplicable, incomprehensible, unphilosophical zones and temporal orders of magnitude: instead of studying code we must be good scholars and cultural observers. (45-46)1.2.4
20130122+Weird Languages: all coding involves double-coding; study of weird languages seems necessary component of critical programming as well as link to traditional humanities. (274)3.1.9
20130121+Memory: Trope from Plato to Derrida (Kittler) good example of how theories from other disciplines frame understanding of computers; now computer is preferred model (Hayles), which itself is based on bureaucratic paper forms, Bartleby-the-Scrivener. (184-185)3.1.8
20121219+Source Code: well stated definition of source code and von Neumann architecture machinery invoking Knuth forming a defining statement of post postmodern cybersage; Knuth should be on reading lists for philosophers of programming, Ceruzzi among historians and philosophers of computing. (237-238)3.1.9
20121217+Source Code: starts with an incomplete C program because that is all that will fit on one page, a thoughtful program to consider as a way of creating space for virtual ingredients in same proportion as cookbook recipe ingredients and measures given Knuth comparing programming to recipes and cookbooks. (236)3.1.9
20111008+Code: Clear philosophies of embodiment tie in with Turing acknowledging embodiment in decoding natural language, as well as environmental knowledge. (44)3.1.9

20130923+Use of continuity concept from film theory for networks. (64)3.1.7
20130921y+Protocological analysis eschews meaning and focuses on envelope of possibility; compare to Applen and McDaniel critical reverse engineering and Bogost unit operations, and do not be afraid to leave interpretative realm of critical theory: protocol is a circuit, not a sentence. (53)3.2.2

20130921o+Focus on bodies and material stratum of computer technology rather than minds and epistemology; like Bazin, Barthes and Hayles analyzing material specific formal functions and dysfunctions. (17-18)3.1.7
20130921n+Danger of protocol like danger of technology for Heidegger, pharmakon for Plato/Derrida; efforts must be guided through protocol, not against it (Licklider symbiosis, Heim component, Hayles coevolution). (16)3.1.7

20130921d+Answers question how does the Internet work with analysis of TCP/IP and DNS. (xv)3.1.7
20130921c+Abstract but material in sense of Bergson virtual; networks are not metaphors but material materializing media. (xiv)3.1.7
20130921b+Code always process based. (xiii)3.1.7
20130921+Isomorphism of technological and social/political; therefore material understanding of technology. (xii)3.1.7
20130508+OSI preferred model for considering everything as code; no special anthropomorphic uses of data, and affords ontology of amalgamation of multiple processes occurring in multiple temporal orders of magnitude and systems exhibiting distributed control, fitting models described by Deleuze and Guattari (assembly, abstract machine, body without organs, lines of flight, strata). (40)3.1.7
20130223+Manifestation of Internet media in glitches, bugs, and errors provides specificity in lieu of creator experience that could arise through critical programming; the alternative is engaging politics or feigning ignorance (Grzinic). (213)3.1.7
20130220+Semantic web is machine-understandable information, protocol that cares about meaning that could lead to emergent forms of machine intelligence; consider recent proliferation of proprietary protocols prevalent in mobile computing as changing evolutionary trend away from open, democratic foundation. (139)3.1.7
20130219+Compare this violence against humans by machines from spam to humans by humans of ancient times when also making an analysis of behavior that seems to judge indiscriminately, as pebbles used in calculation. (119-120)5.2.1
20130209+No longer threat of Microsoft monopoly but multiplicities of proprietary protocols riding atop IP replacing core TCP RFCs; precisely this exists today with mobile device applications that utilize proprietary, likely encrypted protocols atop IP, which can be tested by watching wireless network traffic via tcpdump and etherape in the vicinity of mobile devices (telephones, tablets, and so on). (244)3.1.7
20130207+Distinct protocological characteristics: peer to peer, distributed, universal language, robust and flexible, open to unlimited variety of computers and locations, result of action of autonomous agents; protocol layers likely inconceivable to early computing theorists and practitioners, which is a good reason to consider periodization theory applies to different trajectories for machine intelligence, possibilities of machine operations, and human computer symbiosis. (46-47)3.1.7
20130204+Compare analysis of executable metalayer encapsulating code, making it hyperlinguistic rather than sublinguistic, to its materiality in Berry. (166)3.1.10
20130202+Formal apparatus involves social level of protocol along with technical specifications; media are dirty because they require involvement to critique them (Enzensberger). (57)3.1.7
20130127+Practical technical understanding for experimentation rather than explanation helps ground critical programming studies for Applen and McDaniel theorist-practitioner approach. (xiii)3.2.2
ganecomputerized_capitalism08 20128.202013092190%90%Y0
................
20130921k+Resist process of inhuman by returning to indeterminacy of childhood; thus, postmodern fables, for which we could imagine adult purposes of virtual reality systems to aide in that return. (446)3.2.2
20130921j+Strong words about determining, self-reinforcing power of technological spirit (inhuman, technologized time, calculative reason) and capitalism, put less critcially by Castells; subjectivity captured by capitalism, relating to Rice and Ulmer, too. (445-446)2.2.4
20130921i+Just in time information processing in networks by streaming predigested cultural capital; loss of opportunity for reflecting on possible inventions. (445)2.2.4
20130921h+A key, long paragraph that should be balanced with Hayles: culture transformed through affordances of inhuman practices, questions limits of traditional critical theorizing perhaps in acknowledgement of immiseration of the mind in media from the start; see Benjamin and Adorno. (441-445)2.2.4
20130921g+Docility through direct control by technology and implied through its effects on subjectivity; the unharmonizable is the remainder in lossy and especially lossless encoding. (440-441)5.1.1
20130921f+Approaching the inhuman involves change in experience of time that others have discussed, but is mainly speeding up and reduction via programmed analog to digital conversions; it moves toward everything happening by software, instead of only ten percent as Campbell-Kelly assesses the present age. (439-440)5.1.1
20130921e+Lyotard was naive about power of capitalism to regulate information access, like early free software advocates. (438)5.1.1
20130921d+What happened with FOSS exemplifies what Lyotard predicts as an alternative resistance to the looming default: specifically addressing Lyotard advice of making data free, it must imply also the knowledge, availability, and permissibility to compute this data as well, which leads to Stallman and has been well articulated in the succeeding years. (437-438)5.1.1
20130921c+Active goal of free information, paralogy is Lyotard silly term like Derrrida grammatology that Ulmer takes the idea to the extreme. (437-438)5.1.1
20130921b+We need to remember how our cyborg subjectivity is situated within the built environment that seeks to optimize itself in terms of performativity. (436)2.2.4
20130921a+Analogous to Kittler view that all media systems think about are their effectiveness, never what human oriented ends they serve, supply, instantiate; in one respect their feedback given the low bandwidth to begin with is merely to keep working, although in the age of Internet protocols distributed cognition overabundance of computing power there is no reason to hold back. (434-435)1.2.2
20130921+Lyotard as a new media theorist. (433)3.1.3
20121128+Inhuman is the concretizing system technology, time, and human create that I call the machine other, machinic, and it is the site of alien temporalities we may intuit machine embodiment as if there were machine intelligence like human consciousness out there in the world; its other sense is its effect on human souls, Heidegger wasting enframing, Kittler, Hansen, and others more nuanced accounts of how the soul is and has always been represented as and by artifacts, leading into technological determinist and social constructionist philosophies of technology, and we have to ask the question whether Kittler is really a social constructionist who proclaims that the military is the controller of all things. (438-439)4.3.2
20121126+Subterranean streams of resistance to capitalist streaming media related to rhizomes and lines of flight is key to Berry seeking liberation from determination, capture, effacement by instrumental reason or time of something crucial of the human spirit, also played on by Ulmer; visit Barthes on myth. (447-448)5.1.1
20120806+Concludes revealing Lyotard blind region regarding technological comportment: besides giving direction to critical code studies, this analysis of Lyotard points to role of working code and fossification in resisting default being of cyberspace subjectivity because for any mode of cybernetics to operate, there must be some information, real or virtual, transduced or simulacral; even if there is no way to live without mediation by digital media, there are better and worse ways to live in it, such as regarding nature and extent of consumption and production. (448-449)5.1.1
20120804+Power analysis similar to Castells and de Lauretis; inhuman affairs points towards Harman, Bogost, Berry. (431-432)2.2.3

20140629e+From optimism at onset of information highway to renewed critical focus twenty years later, the call from philosophers of computing. (276)1.3.2
20140629d+Gates wants everyone to discuss technology in order to guide it, not just technologists. (276)6.1.2
20140629c+Clearly states that Microsoft corporate strategy is following his visions of the information highway in addition to listening to customers. (276)1.2.5
20140629b+Hopes Microsoft will play a major role in shaping information highway despite already having been a major force in development of personal computer. (275-276)1.2.5
20140629a+Greatest benefits will be technological applications to education. (275)6.1.2
20140629+Interesting statement the technology will enable society to make political decisions about surveillance levels. (269)1.2.5
20140628+Gates sees no problem with not caring whether interaction with other people or simulations as long as desires are fulfilled. (164-165)1.2.5
20140627a+Hopes for multimedia avant garde seem foiled by advance of mundane content and game realism; following Sterne, have online viewing adopted such lowered expectations? (133-134)6.1.2
20140627+Bauerlein argues lowered friction of distribution by Internet has dampened tradition and allowed closed circuit of self-selected media consumption cycles dominated by low word count social messages. (122)1.3.2
20140625p+Types of navigation fairly clear, and predictions that while many emergent uses will be humorous and entertaining, others will be strictly practical and serious; does not predict much yet about emergence of side of highway opposite humans, Lanier siren servers. (86)6.1.2
20140625o+Social user interface provided by agents and softer software may be considered creepy attempts to humanize computer, but notes high degree of deference given to mechanical agents; relate Hayles on uncanny valley and Turkle on robotic moment. (85)6.1.2
20140625n+Desire for agent to take over human functions like managing project schedules, though current versions do not remember much or reason well, and may become too annoying. (84)6.1.2
20140625m+Agents as softer software; relate to Thrift on changes senses of position and juxtaposition. (84)6.1.2
20140625l+Account of virtual navigation through museum gallery reflects privileged, prior embodied experience; Bauerlein connects these features to tendency of dumbest generation to not look beyond its own self interests. (80)6.1.2
20140625k+Examples of filters, spatial navigation and agents as new knowledge tools latent in information highway. (80)6.1.2
20140625j+Speech and handwriting recognition still Holy Grails despite admitted optimism by Gates that generic text recognition was more feasible. (77-78)6.1.2
20140625i+Kiosks will provide information highway and wallet PC features to the masses. (77)6.1.2
20140625h+Wallet PC as separate information appliance subsumed in mobile phone, in which case Apple wins with the iPhone. (74)6.1.2
20140625g+While correct that mobile phones will have screens and cameras and notebook computers will approach paper tablet proportions, failed prediction that digital whiteboards will replace blackboards should be considered in terms of Heim electric writing and Hayles MSA. (71)6.1.2
20140625f+Viewing distance between television and computer monitor as media-specific characteristic; digital whiteboard more like television, notebooks and mobile devices more like PCs. (71)6.1.2
20140625e+Lesson about PC killer applications from Lotus 1-2-3 to combination of services predicted of the information highway; note the ordering of offerings seems inverse of current prioritization on social networking, commerce and entertainment, with the personal search for knowledge minimized. (68)6.1.2
20140625d+Asynchronous communication forms offer increased variety and selection possibilities, bolstering assumption that information highway technology will make our lives easier and better; contrast to criticism by Bauerlein and others of resulting bad habits. (66)6.1.2
20140625c+Microsoft tactic of hiring managers with experience in failing companies because they are forced to be creative. (64)6.1.2
20140625b+Hardware advances and end of life the change driver now; prediction of new major Windows versions every two to three years, with Internet and speech recognition major draws. (63)6.1.2
20140625a+Thousands of wasted years of effort trying to deliver next generation personal computing platform by IBM and Microsoft. (62)6.1.2
20140625+Definition of open by Gates as offering hardware and software applications choices in spite of history of monopolizing practices by his company. (60)6.1.2
20140624a+Shift in means of instructing computers by manipulating pictures rather than text must be considered in relation to side effect for humans, where Kemeny praised instructing the computer by programming. (50-51)6.1.2
20140624+Use of 16 bit microprocessor changed potential of personal computer from toy to business tool; reading Gates critically as a default philosopher of computing is just taking Latour and other SCOT theorists seriously. (47)6.1.2
20140623+Critical success factors for information highway given by Gates should be evaluated after 20 years. (35)1.3.2
20140619+Gates a default philosopher of computing because he is intentionally directing the fruition of his vision towards ultimate market and new form of human communication. (7)1.2.5
20140524z+Final critical assessment is that information highway will provide choices for connecting people with entertainment, information, and each other. (274)1.3.2
20140524y+Historical impact of information highway on par with scientific method, printing, and industrial manufacturing; by now most of the predications Gates made should have materialized. (273)1.3.2
20140524x+Defense of representative government model for middleman value add, whose performance can be better monitored via the information highway. (272)6.1.2
20140524w+Media advances affect politics; argues information highway will empower citizen interest groups and allow even smallest cause to be debated. (271)1.2.5
20140524v+Believes governments will be unable to tap or decrypt everyday personal computer data; ironic statement following NSA revelations by Snowden. (270)6.1.2
20140524u+Pervasive surveillance unremarkable: to other critics this is a major concern, but Gates is a proponent of accepting the tradeoff of lost anonymity and privacy in exchange for increased security, foreseeing 9/11 aftermath. (269)6.1.2
20140524t+Gates find complete life documentation chilling, but does provide digital alibi; black box data recorders and cameras everywhere. (268)6.1.2
20140524s+Concern for loss of privacy by correlating disparate data repositories. (266)6.1.2
20140524r+A potential weapon of math destruction is a breakthrough in factoring large prime numbers; no backup technique ready to deploy. (265-266)6.1.2
20140524q+More concerned about cryptographic vulnerabilities and sloppy security leading to digital disasters than dumbing down society through habitual Internet use. (264)6.1.2
20140524p+Gates proposes speed bumps as voluntary resistance to VR addiction for those becoming Weizenbaum computer bums or robotic moment. (264)6.1.2
20140524o+Gates not worried about revolution of expectations by the disenfranchised or xenophobia. (262)1.2.5
20140524n+Another convergence reducing importance of national boundaries. (262)6.1.2
20140524m+New competition for knowledge workers in industrialized countries, but net effect will be wealthier world. (261)1.2.5
20140524l+Example of unfair tax burden on the wealthy for using public services applied to universal service doctrine for media access in rural areas. (260)6.1.2
20140524k+Ethical problems surrounding distributing information as intellectual property similar to medicine, focusing on high development costs rather than manufacturing and distribution. (259)1.2.5
20140524j+Settle for virtual equity, as if access to information equalizes social situations. (258-259)1.2.5
20140524i+Long term philosophical issues include correcting gender imbalances in developing computer expertise. (258)1.3.2
20140524h+Egalitarian access to most information. (257)1.2.5
20140524g+Requirement of mostly free computing has led to siren server oligopolies according to Lanier; Gates points to shift from other traditional sources of information and entertainment. (256)6.1.2
20140524f+Incorporate sense of procedural rhetoric as general problem solving skill and component of lifelong learning, again consonant with projective city; first step is to come to terms with computers so PCs become tools instead of threats. (254)2.2.4
20140524e+Claims that few business sectors have been hurt by the PC, and job categories always changing, ignore shift to flexibility and part time status imposed on workers so important to Boltanski and Chiapello. (252)1.2.5
20140524d+Gates takes position of philosopher king, a big person of the developing projective city; strange to call it a revolution if the plan is to manage its arrival. (252)1.2.5
20140524c+First concern is dislocation of workers, creating need for retraining. (251)1.2.5
20140524b+Shifting richness defining good life. (251)1.2.5
20140524a+Optimistic predictions of impact on masses, reminiscent of Phaedrus. (250-251)1.2.5
20140524+Could be a whole area of study for the philosophy of computing to discern what Gates intends by the title of this final chapter, critical issues; to him it means people understanding how the future will be different as the information highway evolves. (250)1.3.2

20140519l+Instrumentation in Gates house that tracks and remembers user preferences, and tallies all sorts of things, will become substrate of information highway. (222)6.1.2
20140519k+Gates does not expect robots in widespread consumer use beyond intelligent toys; evident that his philosophy of robotics assumes computationally intensive representational processing, contra later Clark and Chalmers. (221-222)6.1.2

20140512j+Predictions by Gates about transformations faster PCs and information highway may bring are literally queuing up the projective city of the new spirit of capitalism articulated by Boltanski and Chiapello, which becomes topic of next chapter; his advice is to become informed, sidestepping issue of participatory involvement or outright rebellion. (156)1.3.2
20140512i+Allow escape for the privileged from social problems of crowded urban areas; despite predicted savings, positive feedback cycle encouraging rural living may not scale, and would affect urban tax base, aggravating woes. (155)6.1.2
20140512h+Reengineering boundaries inside workplace, next between suppliers and customers, as Castells, Spinuzzi, Boltanski and Chiapello studied. (153)6.1.2
20140512g+Future jobs will specify in office and out of office hours, and use of part time labor by customer service organizations will expand; cell phone and Internet use at work loosens boundaries inside the office. (152)6.1.2
20140512f+Realistic synthetic images. (151)6.1.2
20140512e+Videoconferencing and synchronous sharing have not matured as quickly as predicted, although we are accustomed to watching video meetings; assumes people more attentive if they know they are on camera, side communications will be easier, and unwritten rules will be forced to be made more explicit with network mediation. (149)6.1.2
20140512d+Appeals to unforeseen uses of electronic mail like paying bills, scheduling meetings, and exchanging documents, although still difficult to ask questions and dispute charges asynchronously. (145)6.1.2

20140503i+Predicts simulation will overtake recording reality, pointing to virtual reality destinies fooling the senses, beginning with hearing and vision. (129)6.1.2
20140503h+Too much effort still required for users to create multimedia content; predicts future PC developments will give amateurs same tools as professionals. (128)6.1.2
20140503g+Per McLuhan and Hayles, new medium will initially contain old media, as lessons from study of CDROM development recalls for application to online content: offering interactivity is new feature TV lacks being leveraged in games, though suspension of disbelief is fragile, as Ryan discusses with more nuance. (126)6.1.2
20140503f+Revenue flow to information providers will birth a new mass medium; most critics see this as opportunity for everyone, success for very few. (125-126)6.1.2
20140503e+Deploys same argument against software piracy for evolving great online content, calling for mechanisms for paying authors and publisher through advertisers and other new options, but per Lanier we got siren servers instead: a missed objective like Kemeny feared would happen with bungled programming instruction. (125)6.1.2
20140503d+Distribution friction of broadcast television and movies even higher than print media; lower costs of cable distribution led to channel expansion, but self publishing risks lowered by xerography and cable television incomparable to variety of Internet bulletin boards. (122)6.1.2

20140429l+Acknowledgement of need for competent security and authenticity verification introduces lesson on private/public key encryption protocols; mailbox analogy recalls Turkle concern about government surveillance during McCarthy era. (108)6.1.2
20140429k+Predicts security will thwart government surveillance, yet applications will be extremely easy to use; post-9/11 social and political impact has altered this apparently inevitable expansion of individual freedom. (106)6.1.2
20140429j+ATM predicted to the communications protocol for routing packets. (104-105)6.1.2

20140429g+Technical challenge of handling real time content like audio and video. (99)6.1.2
20140429f+Gates fascinated by financial model allowing appearance of cheap access; pricing structure encourages use once connected since too complicated to track time and distance of individual use. (97)6.1.2
20140429e+Internet has always been magnet for hackers, which Gates defines negatively. (96)6.1.2
20140429d+Nod to TCP/IP and Web protocols actualizing predictions about interactive books and hyperlinks made by Ted Nelson, though current culture likely viewed as quaint by future users, noting lack of security and billing system. (95)6.1.2

20140427h+Examples of Olsen and Wang as faltering visionaries at dawn of personal computer era. (36)6.1.2
20140427g+To avoid repeating mistakes companies must understand critical factors: negative and positive spirals, initiating rather than following trends, importance of software, role of compatibility. (35)6.1.2
20140427f+Predictions and prescriptions about improvements in memory, storage, and transmission of digital data that will bring about the highway; note prediction of single wire to household versus conjunction of multiple wired and wireless interfaces, contrast between stone age knife and Ghiberti doors as commerical orientation of contemporary Internet. (34)6.1.2
20140427e+Lesson in exponential doubling using fable of grains on chessboard, applied to microprocessor evolution; compare to Kurzweil. (31-32)6.1.2
20140427d+Data compression crucial to expanding computing capacity, but bandwidth limitations still hindering information highway; widespread fiber optic cable is the solution. (31)6.1.2

20140426i+New network represents radical transformation of position and juxtaposition described by Thrift. (7)6.1.2
20140426h+New network is not a highway, more like country lanes in sense of individualized destinations, though ultimate market is better metaphor as distance is eliminated and everything is available for trade; per Lanier, bazaar of early Internet gives way to cathedrals of top siren server destinations. (5)6.1.2
20140426g+Information tools as intellect amplifying symbolic mediators with family resemblance to books; contrast to Bauerlein argument that emphasis on viewer literacy diminishes traditional literacy. (5)6.1.2
20140426f+Gates suggests the new network computing environment will realize ideal Adam Smith invisible hand of market in new mediated way of life; contrast to Lanier critique of it as siren server oligopolies, and positions of Rushkoff and Bauerlein. (4)6.1.2

20130921q+Learning algebra by programming simulations of Galileo principles: if only it was a basic skill, this approach would be the norm rather than the exceptional case of active, potentially critical learning, in what become, for the person working code, embodied stories, exercising the probe, hypothesize, reprobe, rethink expert reflective cycle. (86)3.2.2
20130921p+Abstract concepts in languages are based in embodied metaphors. (72)2.2.2
20130921o+A very elegant but wordy like Castells whole book to teach a few concepts description of the effect of logotropos rhetoric asymptotically equivalent to programmed operation: basically saying good instructional examples of repeatable, multipurposive skills are needed to be built into the product, or more simply, manageable complexity of pleasantly frustrating technical problems of real virtualities, for which programming with literacy or math are Engelbart type c, improving improvement activities. (66)3.1.8
20130921n+Thus lots of activity, as practice, has net result of developing skill: are we enchanted couch potatoes or doers, producers, prodigious writers and now coders. (65)3.1.8

20130921h+Excellent articulation of what active and critically played games can do that print texts cannot relates to ergodic properties. (40-41)3.1.10
20130921g+Contrast this prediction to the findings of learning programming not appearing to transfer skills to other domains; what of unconscious connections from childhood gaming in adulthood? (40)3.1.5
20130921f+Practicing identity, recruiting subjectivity in active and critical use outside school may advantage certain groups (boys playing videogames). (37)3.1.8
20130921e+Critical learning seems to imply ergodic relationship to texts in general, including games. (34-35)3.1.10
20130921d+Tie design grammars to system versus user centered design. (30)3.1.8
20130921c+Active and critical learning reinforce importance of situated meanings in semiotic domains over sheer informational content. (25)3.1.10

20130921+Looking for theory of human learning built into good video games; compare his arguments to those of Willingham. (4)3.1.8
20120925+Gee gives an exemplary example of strange new ways in which texts and technology operate, acknowledging the artificial unit operations of the virtual world as the most expedient way to communicate through them: a character in a virtual reality instructing the embodied player in the control function of bodily manipulations to machine operations, whether keyboarding, mouse movements, touch screens, speech recognition, interfaces along the temporal electromagnetic spectra within the envelope of feasibilty, raising question whether the knowledge function of this otherwise out of place speech the flip side of Cayley transliteral morphs? (118)3.1.8
20120923+Focus is on generative learning versus competitive, linear learning; example of conflicting cultural model of motion in physics hints at recent plea by Bill Noye that parents not allow their children to be heavily imprinted with creationism because it will hinder their ability to function in a world that takes evolution for granted; perhaps the concern is also with cultural models about learning skewed away from the sciences model. (171)3.1.8
20120920+Subjectivity manipulation and exploration of cultural models by video game content and perspectives has great potential, as Hayles, Manovich, and Murray argue as well. (146)3.1.8
20120915+Bring in criticism by Ryan of video game stories for more nuanced discussion of emotional investments. (80)3.1.8
20120913+Regime of competence also another critical concept making analysis by Gee more subtle than those producing learned and taught helplessness concepts discussed by Norman. (67-68)3.1.8
20120906+Manageable complexity is the term I have been using to identify this type of pleasantly frustrating activity Gee sensed playing Time Machine, with respect to learning about technology, particular how computers work. (3)3.2.2

(35)3.2.2
20130924g+They are two different things, being dynamically reconfigurable and being deconstructive. (32)3.1.8
20130924f+The limitation of current technologies reflected in state of the art designs sees electronic literature as much more restricting than the codex (book) form of literature, overshadowing the unique capability of electronic literature to reform itself dynamically in response to the reader; whereas following hyperlinks may have its print correlate, this property is unique.

20130924c+Among those languages are programming languages and natural languages, breaking their exclusion in Ong in Orality and Literacy on the grounds that they could never be natural languages; the door opened by the ready supply of ideological constants, a term I used many years ago when I was groping at the vision now much clearer, leads to the idea of code work usable by both human and intelligent machines.

20120906b+The next thing to consider is the question of style, whether early versions of programs should be preserved, for we do not have a fixed number to consider like we do ancient texts: can you imagine an index of combinations of key phrases such as electronic literature and code work, a sort of phasor (a degree beyond vector in physics, and another word I used to use often in my old notes, which I referred to a few sentences ago as a useful hyperlink do distinguish it from all the possible combinations most of which are nonsense)? (3)3.2.4
20120906a+The ELO formulation does not entail the universal law based on the specific example of the most basic digitization of print texts that we would all agree with Hayles does not rise to the occasion of being sufficiently literary, a term she will soon introduce, so despite the harsh use of conjoining exclusion and generally Hayles has really opened the door to electronic texts that are powered, in part, by exact digitizations of commonly conceived as the authoritative and canonical originals, all of which if in the public domain can be cited; in fact she says as much on page 84. (3)3.1.8
20120906+Excludes digitized print literature, but what about digitizations of print literature mediated by programs whose source code fall within Hayles conception of EL, for she implies that source code can be considered and interpreted as a part of EL: create source code containing verbatim digitizations of print literature such as ancient Greek and Latin texts beyond the grasp of any copyright, patent, trademark or other type of law taken in the form of the kind that put Socrates to death, not the biochemical law of the poison he presumably drank, but the state, government, body politic, collective consciousness, what about custom code consuming print literature? (3)3.2.2

20130929q+Not sure if my machine embodiment analogies are working here, for example when embodied in specific systems, such as a reverse engineered bricolage, custom code and circuitry makes sense within the particular context, like a good-bye wave, or tuning a system so hardware and software work together (switch detection, lamp and display timing) often resembles describing all the nuances of posture; another way of looking at it is at various functional levels to orient the phenomenal field, so that tracking the flow of electrons through the circuits is like trying to understand an organism from the perspective of the flow of bodily fluids.

20130928k+This long stretch for an example hints of Kittler even though she formally argues against his reductivist interpretation of military directed technological determinism; the world is fully of the real effects of the Regime of Computation all over the present US built environment. (20-21)3.1.8
20130928j+Ambivalent about committing fully to programming on account of shifting focus to implications of being situated in a cultural moment when the question whether to code arises, she places her faith in academic writing; this is followed up by OGorman, Bogost, and others who call for new forms of humanities activity. (20)3.1.8
20130928i+She never defines computing; like many, alluding to the Universal Turing machine signals her position. (18)3.1.8
20130928h+A great take on the timeline from orality to literacy and a characterization of the beyond as digital computer code, shortened to code, her key theorists; this paragraph is a good model for establishing approach and methodology. (16-17)3.1.8

..........................
20130928o+Reduction of Being to fallacious vapor by Nietzsche inspired the lecture course, following Introduction to Metaphysics. (182)2.1.3
20130928n+Need for form of mankind dominated by essence of technology. (117)2.1.3
20130928m+Meaning of Cartesian cogito joined to Nietzschean concepts ground proper understanding of essence of modern technology. (116)2.1.3
20130928l+Instincts as constructs of domination bind values to TWP, good side of extreme nihilism, if we can handle it (the others self-destruct: see Twilight on physicians; material in volume II on the experience of the weighiest thought; Hannibal Lechter agrees). (51)3.1.7
20130928k+No more metaphysics; all thinking conscious (logical, optimizing, etc): see the Cartesian roots, and why Freud stressed the certainty in dreams. (49)2.1.3
20130928j+Different modes of recording (books for others, dialogue of a thinker with himself) links to handwriting (his was horrible, as was that of Heidegger), as well as paragraph 29 of La Pensee Radicale); see (IV,12) on his language. (42)3.1.2
20130928i+Technology and culture signify the same thing; to Aristotle assertion is judgment of what categories belong to domain of philosophy; Nietzsche betrays his allegiance to the tradition. (41)2.1.3
20130928h+Categories as basic words of metaphysics, names for the fundamental philosophical concepts; Heidegger toots his horn (compare with GTE ad, Seneca) talking about Herr Diesel. (39)3.1.7
20130928g+Like Deleuze and Guattari molar items, with fuzzy belongingness. (36)2.1.3
20130928f+Punk view could be woven into this conclusion; bootstrapping and grand style other ways out. (34-35)2.1.3
20130928e+Death drive, unconscious as feeling? (34)2.1.3
20130928d+Quoting the fragment Decline of the Cosmological Values naming nihilism as a psychological state: discouraged (no meaning in becoming, events); lost faith in own value (we do not really have a place in a totality to give us value); no metaphysical afterworlds (only the earth); cosmology points to anthropological nature of Nietzsche psychology. (28)2.1.1
20130928c+Heidegger thesis is that valuative thought unwittingly thinks being as nonessence. (23)2.1.3
20130928b+Our age positing values as standards is an innovation. (17)3.1.7
20130928a+Because he did not have the experience of Being and Time, only Being and Thought; also (I add) because he relied upon writing as his computer, or that with which he ruminated (cud), as well as the medium of his communications (besides musical composition); give him credit, at least, for thinking through his letters, too. (12)3.2.2
20130928+Absolute rule of pure power characteristic of overman: does this imply the temporal precedence of representation, power only if overpowering, no external end, therefore spiraling cycle. (7)2.1.3
20130909+Nietzsche realized future machine economy would bring about the calculative reasoner. (116)2.1.3
20110717+Any point in reading this with Classification and its Consequences? (37)2.1.3
19960401+This belongs to my project; see also on inner dialogue, dialog of a thinker with himself bookmark. (11)3.2.2
19951026a+Perhaps when I commented upon the growing wasteland in psycho-analytic work with regard to the lost dignity of the hand, the dignity granted it in its ability to embarrass itself by leaving traces of its (and its owners) mistakes, helps to fill up this nothing about which Heidegger speaks, which Freud tried (says Lacan) to illuminate (recalling that often considered page 53, mistakes seem to have replaced the omens or portents of the ancients. (214)0.0.0
19951026+How this new way of taking-to-heart, on account of the new way of letting-lie-before-me, that results from the shift from 8. (22)0.0.0
19950909+Curious as well how Deleuze, and others I have read, quote the passage about the barbarians arrival as allegory to Nietzschean thought itself, They come like fate, without reason, consideration, or pretext; they appear as lightning appears, too terrible, too sudden, too convincing, too different even to be hated, So runs Nietzsches celebrated text on the founders of the state, those artists with the look of bronze Nomad Thought, 145. (241-242)0.0.0
19950811+We ourselves are included in the psychological reckoning and calculation, despite the ethical conclusion that man is never merely standing-reserve; now we belong to command of nihilism, for example, decision theory does not care about its content (see journal notes on standing reserve). (47)2.1.3
19950715+The saving power; a link between Heidegger in the midst of the danger for us reading today and texts and technology. (116)3.1.7
19950714+Being as will to power; read beside Heim Computer as Component. (231)3.1.7

20130929h+Invocation of Holderlin without third line about poetic dwelling. (28)3.1.7
20130929g+The shining form presented here as ekphanestaton is remediated as shimmering signifiers when cast in texts and technology and digital media studies. (34)1.3.4
20130929f+Nostalgia for Greek techne reflected in celebration of bricoleur by philosophers of computing, McGann theory-as-poiesis. (34)2.2.5
20130929e+The oscillation in little things may be the duck rabbit power of Heidegger described by theorists in my chosen texts. (33)2.2.5
20130929d+The answer to what is the question: we are not saved, but are summoned to hope in the growing light of the saving power; must we minister to this growth like a peasant a garden? (33)2.2.5
20130929c+Looks to likelihood of future spread of saving experience, in his epoch only little things here and there; if only we had kept teaching programming in public schools. (33)3.2.2
20130929b+Staring at the technological the blinking of Nietzsche last man, the enjoyment of consumption taken at interface value; so we are scenting dogs once again, this time keeping watch over the unconcealment, spectators, ideally, adding nothing new but rather struggling to return to that condition of fixing-to-reveal where freedom is. (32)2.2.5
20130929a+Respond to Socratic search for kernel of subjectivity through digital humanities research. (32)1.3.3
20130929+Seems like a statement endorsing extended mind of Clark, posthuman cyborg of Hayles. (31)2.2.5
20130928z+Technology forces rethinking essence, two notions of Wesen (to essence): Hebel Weserei (constant play of coming-to presence) and Waehren (to last or endure), the traditional Platonic interpretation (aei on & eidos). (30)3.1.7
20130928y+Enframing as way of revealing having character of destining is true essence of technology. (29)2.1.3
20130928x+Time to ponder essence in order to behold the saving power, compare saving as fetching to its function in computation is another fun exercise putatively mocking Western philosophy but really on same track of revealing destining like contemplating names of electronic devices. (28)3.2.2
20130928w+Truth comes to pass in unconcealment veiled by representational thinking, precession of simulacra. (27)2.1.1
20130928v+Human coming to brink of taking itself as standing-reserve interpellating into task of contemplating destining of revealing becomes call of cybersage for Heim, always negotiating enframing of system operations for Bogost connection. (26-27)2.2.5
20130928u+Danger as such in destining of revealing, the most dangerous undertaking a conscious subject can attempt; refer to discussion of tolma audacity in Introduction to Metaphysics. (26)2.2.5
20130928t+Freeing claim because the decision tree never unfolds biunivocally as we had wished it to, for there is always the option of continuing to fantasize, ideate, think in the draft, as an asymptotically perfect deviation from both hypothetical tracks of decision. (25-26)1.3.4
20130928s+Freedom of the open. (25)1.3.4
20130928r+Compare notion of being truly free as attending to destining to programming with four freedoms of GPL, instantiating freeing claim in midst of the danger; programming consumes philosophy via flossification. (25)3.2.2
20130928q+Transforming into standing-reserve more than action of capitalism because it implies epistemological component for historiography and other sciences. (24)3.2.2
20130928p+Resignation in Heisenberg lecture like that of Baudrillard; see response to first exam question. (23)3.1.7
20130928o+Nice commentary on growing inscrutibility of representation in physics, the demand of the model of ratio, symbolic logic and its galaxies of meaning, subjects science to its tests: witness the loss of natural science (folk medicine, etc), including their cures and uses, to that which can be explained, perfectly in line with modern psychology. (23)2.1.3
20130928n+Seems to be anticipating philosophical domains arising from operation of future assemblies, which is why Turkle notices aptness of postmodern ideas in discourse surrounding personal computers, and Misa historicizes from Leonardo to the Internet. (22)3.2.2
20130928m+Modern physics experiments assume Enframing ontological and epistemological truth facts. (22)3.1.7
20130928l+We are granted insight into that other great question Heidegger asked for us, what handicraft modern man in the technological world must carry on, must carry on even if he is not a worker in the sense of the worker at the machine. (21)1.3.1
20130928k+Any assembly is simulacrum, concretized Enframing; democratizing power of free, open source technologies salvation of assemblies for multipurposive learning. (20-21)6.2.2
20130928j+Plato use of eidos no longer appreciated as bold step in intellectual evolution exculpating Heidegger use of Gestell as mildly radical in comparison. (20)3.1.7
20130928i+Enframing, the spirit of an age before the Internet, as consummation of book forms, Heim in Electric Writing provides uses of the very dangerous machines of our real environment supporting virtual realities. (19)3.1.7
20130928h+Unconcealment transcends technological simulacra; subjectivity defined. (18)3.1.7
20130928g+Famous definition of the standing-reserve. (17)3.1.7
20130928f+Challenging revealing in modern technology often though as capitalist exploitation, maximum yield at minimum expense expediting. (15)3.1.7
20130928e+Techne as mode of aletheuein, bringing-forth as revealing more important than manufacturing. (13)3.1.7
20130928d+Differentiate bringing-forth in itself and in another, natural versus produced things, extending from Heidegger anthropocentrism to machine generated phenomena as the being of modern technological objects. (10-11)3.1.7
20130928c+Responsibility as starting something on its way into arrival; think about teaching. (9)3.2.2
20130928b+Four causes of any technology instrumentum. (5)3.1.7

20121130+Ekphanestaton appropriate to machine subjectivities running in virtual worlds in machines; we can still use Heidegger to get into machine embodiment and poetic dwelling, but its use in philosophy of computing is deprecated. (34)5.2.1
20121010+Questioning is piety of thought; although Heidegger could not fantasize Internet, we can trace back through use of Heidegger in other texts to circumscribe fossification. (35)3.2.2

20130928l+Hidden essence of modern technology is disposition of nature, including human nature, as energy supply. (234)3.1.7
20130928k+Token as hypomensis, eternal recurrence; to be dissipates like a vapor. (233)2.1.2
20130928j+Third mode is about tradition, then fourth mode, special interpretation of Heidegger. (230)2.1.2
20130928i+Thinking as legein is reason conceived as judging, perception of reason happens as noein, and hence Parmenides saying that is key to the text, the first mode. (229-230)2.1.2
20130928h+Socrates is the purest thinker in the West because he wrote nothing, remained in the draft. (17)2.2.5
20130928g+Importance of the hand could link to future discussions of embodiment. (16-17)3.1.7
20130928f+The danger flashes in craft lacking relatedness, which is just busywork, so the hardest work is that of the teacher, who must be capable of being more teachable than the apprentices. (15)1.3.2
20130928e+Heidegger uses a draft of a poem as thematically resonant; Holderlin becomes a central figure of the lectures prior to the introduction of Nietzsche. (10)2.2.5
20130928d+Come to know what, thinking proper, or the latter, or both, realizing science does not think, as the excursion of the Nietzsche lectures serves to illuminate the tradition in a way that bars those thinkers who are analyzed from participating in the realization, and hence the return, to real thinking; as we learn about the withdrawal, the encounter with the actual here seems to indicate the standing-reserve of representation that becomes reality through Nietzsche. (7-8)3.1.7
20130928c+Interest means being among things, which Hayles and others promote as focal point of subjectivity studies. (5)2.1.2
20130928b+Why would VR apparatus be of aid to the philosopher, perhaps as a distraction, a prayer-wheel whose utter inauthenticity allows the detachment necessary in order for learning to occur? (4)2.2.5
20130928a+Heidegger may have had premonitions of the language machine as a likely (perhaps even from the standpoint of capitalism, or from Marxist analysis) creation in the age of nuclear electricity; however, his thought seems limited to imagining what becomes of thinking and memory as the book form territorializes electronic technology; from the other way around, it is the essence of technology, which has its core in calculative thinking rather than the phenomenological metaphysics of philosophical production, the dreaded transformations have already occurred as a by-product. (4)3.1.7
20130928+Loose mooring of molar symbols. (3)5.2.1
20120329+A key passage in this text to juxtapose beside the image of Plato directing a writing Socrates by Derrida and Heim calling for a cybersage to supplant the regressive image of humanities scholarship epitomized by the posed photograph of Heidegger in his remote mountain hut surrounded by books. (17)3.2.2
20110818+Heidegger seems forced to turn away from thoughtful creative production in order to enter the draft; what he did not see is that this is a limitation of print, not computing (he merely saw gross machine) technology in general, a gap Heim employs. (231)2.2.5
20110807+Heideggerian computer is a fantasy of what will inevitably happen by default from the triumph of Nietzschean metaphysics; good link to texts and technology with Heidegger as a final thinker of literacy who was cognizant of its emergence from orality. (238)2.1.3

20130929o+Heidegger epochal transformation theory sensitive to historical drift and cultural trade-offs: the perfect trade off example is the recognition by Plato that memory would suffer from learning writing. (75)3.1.7
20130929n+Go beyond Ong eschatological interpretation to Heidegger and existentism, take the focus away from communications, which invites the optimistic sense of Hegelian progress, and look at the changing psychic frameworks, expecting there to be gains and losses due to the finitude of historical worlds. (69)2.2.5
20130929m+However, authority implicit in the material production of written texts plays a part; this is more noticeable in the age of late print when the bulk of printed material is junk. (64-65)3.1.3
20130929l+Another reason to have to consider the Greek texts, regardless of your position on Heidegger, is use by Ong of terms like psyche and sensorium. (59)3.1.3
20130929k+This is the same kind of reasoning characterized by evolutionary theory, historical necessity wanting to be like a path of least resistance; it is different from the insistence on the concessions of finitude. (54)3.1.3
20130929j+Heim takes upon himself the responsibility of doing the philosophical work, particularly if you have an aversion to reading ancient Greek or the German philosopher Martin Heidegger. (49-50)2.1.4
20130929i+Heim insists that we all take this step and think about ontological import for verbal symbols and word processing, invoking Havelock and Ong. (48)2.2.5

20130929f+Eastern silent intuitive action versus Western verbose rationalization; Ong complaint? (40)3.1.3
20130929e+Do not look to the computer per se, or our personal experience using word processors, the tool analysis does not reach the depth of the interface between human and machine; consider the problems with the best tool for the job ethic. (31)2.2.5
20130929d+Tempting to conflate influence of word processing on thinking with computational metaphors for thinking. (27)2.2.5
20130929c+This is where the von Neumann quote takes off in what I feel is an alternate departure than any of those Heim intended when he implies that reducing the Socratic question to a computational metaphor is the only way to consider our interaction with tools. (27)1.3.2
20130929b+Asserting his authority as ready to begin assessing virtual reality ahead of others who have not begun repeating his analysis of word processing informed by his having learned to read ancient Greek texts, another thing he assumes his reader has not done yet as much as he has; thus his weak area is allowing himself to say with us the computer gets the job done when really it is all about the job the mind is doing while using its computers that we want to consider. (27)2.2.5
20130929a+Is this Heim rejecting study of computer languages, programs imbued with human readable comments and style itself in C++ and Perl (other authors such as Hayle use Java), or ambivalent to maybe in favor of such approaches combining philosophical study with technical competence? (26)1.3.2
20130929+The influence of Heidegger on Heim is obvious here. (25)2.1.4

20121130+Ihde lifeworld technologies focus on instrument use results in gains and losses in embodiment relations and hermeneutics: this approach seems limited by presupposing transcendental objects that are variously mediated by human perception and instrumentation, missing the point that we have been posthuman for a long time, though goes beyond his point that technologies are culturally embedded; compare to Hayles How We Think and Bogost Alien Phenomenology. (111-112)3.1.7

20131102c+Art reflects on intentionality by mapping, affecting self-understanding by the subject, highlighting performance, producing codes by violating them: easy to replace art with software for the top level of Montfort and Bogost hierarchy. (166-167)3.1.3

20130929y+Example for semiotic theory of medieval conjuncture by Foucault of world picture as idiolect, perhaps similar to furrows of technological unconscious that can be intuited by analysis of histories of objects, including software codes as ultimate idiolect reflectors, pointing to Bogost unit operations and platform studies. (78)3.1.3
20130929x+Semiotic theory rich in computational metaphors, foregrounding working code, easy to shift between human and machine artists and readers, and also apply to posthuman cyborg of Hayles: producing by violating codes may be the bricolage trace of breakdowns, but without doubt valid to include machine operations in labor of connecting signs with states of the world, for that is what computer control and modeling fundamentally attempts. (77)3.1.3
20130929w+Ambiguous and self-focusing character of signs an aspect of Clark perception, in which the specific situated interplay of phenomena, Bogost objects, that is, as idiolect, plays a significant role in manufacturing the experience. (77)3.1.3

20130929r+Now literature does not merely have to react to problems implicit in its media forms, but can enact deliberate programmed actions to transform reality. (63)3.1.3
20130929q+Reception theory seems to permit bracketing human and machine biases, perhaps by emphasizing communication, to the extent that all perceivers perform various types of text processing, such as generic logic of latching onto deficiencies, having certain affordances and not others, and so on; Iser also uses technological terms like code metaphorically and equivocally to describe literature as human art, drawing from the other side machine expressions of the same structures albeit on their own missions (fade to Kittler). (62)3.2.2
20130929p+Literary work is virtual reality, instantiated fiction, consequence of beholders share. (58)3.1.3
20130929o+How about the experience of nonhuman readers for reception theory, or the part performed by nonhuman systems in human reading? (57)3.2.2
20130929n+Making and matching are postmodern unit operations for gestalt theory; beholders share is the nonmetaphorical blank from which creativity emerges, and schema correction is the critical operation. (49)3.1.3
20130929m+An opportunity to delve into treasury of ancient texts already suitable for philosophical fossification, which can only truly happen after all copyrights expire, such as Gombrich quotations from Philostratus in context of schema and correction. (45-46)5.3.1
20130929l+Easy to see connection between gestalt theory and Clark, as if Clark assumes this metaphysical background for virtualizing perception, but also virtualizers the perceivers into extended mind to which Hayles hooks and holds on developing posthuman cyborg selves. (45)3.1.3
20130929k+Like the Collingwood example, this one can be imagined in virtual realities giving rise to artificial intelligences of machinic consciousness bathing humans in order of magnitude computational control operations sustaining their being; the guiding design criteria of economy, similarity, figure and ground, at least economy can be shared between them, whereas both similarity and figure and ground depend upon shared perceptions, and the humans cannot operate beyond the millisecond order of temporal magnitude, while the machines can operate in millisecond, even nanosecond on off affecting or sensing Derridean ontological metaphysical units, the duck rabbit image as database patterns or run time evanescences in humming electronic circuits.

20130929c+Phenomenology focuses on intentional acts to gain insight on ways we related to the world. (14)3.1.1
20130929b+Methods provide tools for interpretive processes; theories must be transformed into methods. (11)3.1.1
20130929a+Embodiment and context always relevant to the work of art. (9)3.1.1
20130929+Hard-core theory predicts, developing laws; soft theory maps, developing metaphors. (5-6)3.1.1
20121108+Consider complicity between technology and imperialism, for instance dominance of English and [decimal] number system in programming languages and protocols, and subjugation of cyberspace by powerful corporations, then compare democratic rationalizations of free software to strategy (or tactic) of postcolonial discourse: imagine a past in which free software rapidly evolved global Internet and programming was a home economics skill taught as part of public education. (181)3.1.3
20121105+Reception theory also quintessentially a method that helps promote the emergence of machine intelligence, so that the Big Other replies, by offering an acceptable, compelling framework to cast reasoning that ignores the physical constitution of both artists and readers, in the sense of Clark parity principle.

20131102+Code lies at base of mediation of media, and it seems our embodiment as well. (np) 3.1.8
20130929d+What both de Certeau and Janz seem to miss in asserting continuum between engineering knowledge and digital place (scene) is working code, the intrinsic value of spending time writing software and tinkering with electronic machinery: I believe this is because most theorists forget or have not given much heed to the fact that code is always a combination of machine and human languages, for example C++ and English. (40)3.2.2
20130929c+Example of Edmonton mallspace as digital and analog, exemplifying Coyne tuned place and Deleuze societies of control, de Certeau space is practiced place. (36)3.2.4

(27)3.2.4
20130929a+Coyne tuning of place invites Nietzschean response how one philosophizes with computers, electricity, programing, though multipurposiveness of code goes beyond cognition of embodied minds, into which machine intelligence subducts. (24)3.2.4
20130929+Semiotic sense of space derived from emphasis on material processes of code production misses nuances of Heideggerian place. (20)3.2.4
20130429+Despite this criticism of a biased materiality of code reducing to Aristotelean phronesis apparent in Berry, and therefore somewhat shallow for being putatively limited to professional practices, leaving the rest of humanity to try to be a good stream or Serres parasite, it is nonetheless a fascinating position to consider the philosophy of computing from within working code, a position I take with critical programming studies, of which production, testing and release constitutes community and individual practices, and about which platform studies, software histories and programming studies depict some of the terrain.

20130930c+Perhaps Maner did not think of the important self-involving ethical question of whether to practice programming, or how computers resemble writing as pharmaka, relating them to ancient ethical arguments: Kittler cautions drawing such simple conclusions, however, that Turkles work exists, and a generation of Americans were taught to use computers and program them in public schools, and for that movement to recede, seems sufficient evidence that ethical questions regarding computers were not thoroughly considered by philosophers. (18)5.2.1

20130422+Distinguishing programming and computing, valorize programming, teaching the computer to think, which iterates as learning through teaching the computer, over mere computing, such as the rote activity of solving mathematical problems handed over to machines in programs; however, a short circuit occurs between isomorphic intentionalities in which the ease of use of one forecloses requisite knowledge acquisition to opportunity cost calculations over the other: the dumb user trying to input mathematical equations into the latest touch or speech recognition interface forgets the purpose of doing the problem in a way one who was forced to write a program for the computer to solve it would not likely be ignorant, although maybe getting lost in the details of programming languages while ignoring the goal mathematics aimed to be taught.

(87)6.1.2
20130313+Interesting comparison between passive relationship for learning by phonograph and CAI that does not demand reflexive knowledge of programming; elevate to becoming stupid having lost essential practice of teaching the computer to think to solve problems formerly worked by human computers. (80)6.1.2
20130312+Learning by programming versus learning through solely human team activities (encompassing students working together and teacher student relations) depends on unique ability of computers to execute code at very high cycle rates for a comparative eternity for human cognition; at this level is distinguishable from other forms of computer-aided instruction on account of the being forced to teach the computer aspect, and is degraded surface interface interaction satisfaction; the argument needs to be made why programming is part of optimal symbiosis (comportment): despite accurate predictions about the emergence of the global Internet Kemeny was overly optimistic that programming would remain sufficiently valorized once sound, intuitive, user friendly interfaces arose in massive software projects like Microsoft Windows, Apple OS, and GNU/Linux floss. (79)3.2.4
20130310g+That we have swallowed this dual assumption today points to the subsumption of human intellect into collective consciousness entangled with the machines: recall prior arguments about material specific advantages of spiral bound manuals and other forms of programming instruction noted by critical code studies theorists (Montfort et al).

(57)6.1.2

20130307w+That we are collectively not bothered that programming skill may devolve from anticipated height in 1980s to mere use competency evidence in current absence of widespread programming instruction; instead, the deep thinker following how software works in order to use it is replaced by the manipulation of complex user interfaces distributed among countless other software systems. (42-43)1.2.3
20130307v+The ubiquitous mobile device fulfills prediction, although what is not stated is that nontrivial cost ranges will exist nonetheless, in part because his prediction that government would spend more on programming education turned out to be wrong. (42)6.1.2
20130307u+Executive system like supervisory control of pinball game. (42)4.3.1
20130307t+Ambiguous ordering of executive system as it seems from a real time, time sharing perspective editing, listing and saving as user commands beyond ordinary execution would be more important: perhaps the other direction makes sense only in terms of gross CPU time spent doing everything; then again, it matters how many programs were typically executing, for users spent most of their time editing them; they were not constantly running along with them they way things do now in the distributed application world with which we communicate. (42)6.1.2
20130307s+Scale of resources available for general use on DTSS dwarfs anything proposed by von Neumann, although even its multiteletype hookup today exceeded many orders of magnitude by Internet capabilities, yet still abysally short of UTM: the materiality of code is expansive. (41)6.1.2

20130307l+Boast that Dartmouth freshmen can begin programming after listening to a few lectures and reading a short manual. (30)6.1.2
20130307k+Machine language for few, FORTRAN for many, BASIC for everyone college educated now via user interfaces removes requirement to learn how to program in order to usefully use (the reason Turkle shifted from studying learning programming by the small population that did so to general use by orders of magnitude larger populations), rendering programming competence no longer a required component of intelligent human being. (30)6.1.2
20130307j+On another argument is how programming languages compare to learned Latin. (29)5.3.1
20130307i+Kemeny ranks learnability of BASIC over FORTRAN over machine language; natural machine language is the overly predetermined but more importantly unthinkable for which Ong resists, and would likely dismiss FORTRAN as well, but higher level languages like C++ may be on par with other second languages.

20130307f+Compare this discussion of the workings of an actual computer to instrument of Burks, Goldstine and von Neumann or ARPANET by Hafner and Lyon: both are more concrete then Turing beyond the interlocutor obfuscating interface; the DTSS diagram shows many user terminals sharing a communications computer, which alone (rather than each individual user, as in the IMP network design) connects to the central processor and high-speed memory, whereas input and output peripherals and bulk memory fill out the Burks, Goldstine and von Neumann model. (24)6.1.2

20130307a+Important differentiating features of computers are speed of operations and size of addressable memory; reliability assumed although earlier forms were so unreliable as to preclude increasing speed or memory extent; speed, addressability and ultimate capacity are contours of computer species alien phenomenology. (15)6.1.2
20130307+Rupture with prior static symbols and semiotic systems because of machine unattended internal memory stepwise operation leading to programming, although it may become understood as another natural language, if not already assumed for digital natives (thus computer based testing in public education).

20130909c+Automated management and transduction generate code/space as variable rather than fixed ontology. (16)3.1.8
20130909b+In addition to ignoring role of software on space and automated management, ironically very little code actually cited in the software studies referenced: need more working code. (13)3.2.2

.....................................................................
20140321+Hayles declares Kittler a technological determinist hooked on the ancient philosophical position privileging war as primary ontological factor affecting evolution of technologies; nonetheless this strong statement on the obscurity of the present situation substantiates his claim elsewhere of the charlatanism of the putative philosophers of computing of the time, misunderstanding the differences between hardware and software, ignoring the moral hazards of protected modes and trusted computing; their shortcomings have led to the current state of siren server dominance as latest instantiation what Heidegger declared as a sort of language machine carried by the combination of humans, media, media machines, networks: that human writing liquefies into network phenomena makes mass misconception of objectives once combinatory level of humans and machines is better understood. (xxxix-xl)3.1.5
20140219+Assumption that media systems do not compute data consumed by humans like acknowledgment that living writing idealized by Plato does not exist, leaving only adjustments to technological nonconscious implied by psychoanalytic cure overcoming the ignorance of the chicken, whereas permitting enough of a soul to the machinic Big Other to have cognitions alien to our ken reopens the philosophical wilderness foreclosed by biases of humanists swayed by Zizek and others.

20131103+Translator: persistent nasty cliché in media studies that Phaedrus provided a comprehensive critique of computers. (xiii)1.2.2
20131021a+Yet the situation must be more readily understandable now for being modulated by decades of psychological research and studies of human computer interaction shaped by the tendency to recast everything in rationalized terms amenable to modeling (Simon; Turkle): I propose that there is value in teasing out a more detailed theory of what happened to the mutually augmenting human computer symbiosis such that its trajectory has now veered towards diminished human capacity to thoughtfully interact with machines permitting an equilibrium to exist in which the latter continue to become smarter, and the former, dumber, taken as less mobile, industrious, more striated. (xxxix-xl)2.0.0
20131021+I suggest the real problem is Lacans ocularcentrism limiting possible programmed sounds; that is why I am creating the example of symposia, to demonstrate something the collective would never budget a staff to produce: bazaar thinking versus cathedral production, which Kittler points out Nietzsche criticized as subhuman.

20131002e+Friedlaender story plays on idea of recording residual vibrations of Goethe voice; answers question from the future: how we experience machine consciousness, where do we find it is in these literary works and in physical devices that interact with humans. (70-72)3.1.3
20131002d+Reading and writing as indispensable operations of any universal machine, including the brain. (33)3.1.3
20131002c+Suggests models of brain developed reciprocally with invention of phonograph; Kittler includes long passages by Guyau, Rilke, Renard, Friedlaender as tutor texts. (29)3.1.3

20131001w+Lacan real, imaginary, symbolic symptoms of differentiation of modern, postliterate media technologies: literation is the symbolic, cinema the imaginary. (15)3.1.3
20131001v+Edison/Jobs, Gates: unlike mythical Theuth, media are now on course from differentiation to convergence where everything abides in fiber optic networks. (14)3.1.3
20131001u+Grid of symbolic required by arts to pass through human users and maintain their being: these technologies store reality directly, and break Cartesian (and the whole modern philosophy period) doubt of sensation because media guarantee representation being mechanically produced by their objects. (11-12)3.1.3
20131001t+Living writing realized as hallucinations of sights and sounds. (9)3.1.3
20131001s+Reign of writing, which only stored writing, since Plato until fantasy machines come into being, was hallucination of virtual realities in human bodies described by Hegel, Novalis and Schlegel. (8-9)3.1.3
20131001q+A psychoanalytic approach methodologically, but opens to sound studies (Sterne). (6-7)3.1.3
20131001p+Everything used to be communicated via writing; thus its unconscious is also instructive of questions it never answers, such as this kind of thought about capabilities of different media from written archives to optical fiber networks: is it similar that orality does not question itself, whereas literacy can question itself as a memory technic, but not at the level Kittler claims occurs naturally now as electronic media proliferate? (5-6)3.1.3
20131001o+Thus the translators subtitle their introduction Friedrich Kittler and Media Discourse Analysis to signal the need to iterate upon discourse analysis as media discourse analysis. (5)3.1.3
20131001n+Bottleneck of signifier in media systems fundamental to alphabetic writing systems. (4)3.1.3
20131001m+Acoustic is unthought; optical has been divided into noein and legein, the all-at-once and sequential forms of totalities. (3)3.1.3
20131001l+Ears and eyes become autonomous; media always already beyond aesthetics, defining what really is. (3)3.1.3
20131001k+Telegenic face, radiogenic voices made for mass media, although media had to link up in uncanny Lacanian way. (2-3)3.1.3
20131001j+His statement implies computers are not conscious, capable of manufacturing believable content for humans: it is only data like any other data. (2)3.1.3
20131001i+Taken to its extreme where all media converge in machine intelligence networks, the pursuit becomes pointless; media cannot be identified in the homogeneity of converged media, a different convergence that Henry Jenkins conceives it. (1-2)3.1.3
20131001h+Consumer media consumption is pleasurable byproduct of warfare media control, though possibly planned that way, spawning discussions about unintended uses that are popular to critics of technological determinism; must Kittler be read as either a psychoanalyst or a determinist? (1)3.1.3
20131001g+Any machine including writing and sounds can exist on optical fiber networks. (1)3.1.3
20131001f+War spawns technological media inventions: like the selfish meme, the unconscious of technology and the unconscious and consciousness of all artificial intelligence. (xli)3.1.3
20131001e+If by this statement Kittler does invite study of technological circuits, it necessarily extends beyond physical configurations into software, and, following Sterne, social and cultural practices (medium is a recurring set of contingent social relations and social practices); it is just that the machines themselves may have evolved or necessitated their own equivalents of social and cultural practices, so can settle for sensing the circuits of an electronic pinball machine. (xli)3.1.3
20131001d+We can include circuits, but should continue in virtual reality by writing computer programs, by programming, thinking pro and gramming as a historical sequence from the present to previous electronic and Greek grammata as external marks in Phaedrus eras, stain the visual (could be audible) field with their marks, after Kittler and Manovich declare that software has taken command, despite the complaint that inscrutable machine processes are not worth attempting to comprehend, since in the end we will encounter either reflections of our own concepts of cognition, or the limits of perceptibility. (xli)3.2.2
20131001c+Sterne in Audible Past carefully develops argument against transcendental original/copy distinction in sound reproduction that is echoed here with respect to the requirement of using media in order to contemplate anything, including the nature of media. (xl-xli)3.2.2
20131001b+A profound and sobering statement about our inability to get to the bottom of understanding media; we are left with machine embodiment engineer perspective probing the unconscious of technology. (xl-xli)3.1.3
20131001a+Heidegger confused writing with textbook writing, unable to perform the exploratory psychoanalysis of media themselves that Kittler does here as well as in DN. (xl)3.1.3
20131001+A pessimism that the thought world of the machines is beyond human reach, somehow related to Ong rejecting the study of programming languages and their texts; nonetheless, by a putatively psychoanalytic styled method media situations can be discerned from other media, yielding stories and myths, the stuff of humanities. (xxxix-xl)3.1.3
20130413+In terms of rhetorical effect, few critical works addressing the human situation with respect to technological media more compellingly cast the serious need to study it than the first paragraphs of this preface. (xxxix)2.0.0
20121126+Diagrams of Z80 microprocessor circuit and standard CPU accompany brief description of stored program electronic computer, which now captures every possible medium, fulfillment of determinism of Laplacian universe in finite-state machines; also promises illuminations beyond human manipulation (fortuitous deformations), that inaugurate post postmodern subjectivity. (244)3.1.3
20121112+From the machine side of reality human souls are encased in network phenomena. (xl-xli)1.2.2
20120109+Kittler technological determinism based on war as mother of all things. (xxxix-xl)3.1.7
20111227+Kittler sees this Heideggerian shimmering on the boundary of polar opposites as well, although I detect in his language a reticence at throwing oneself life long into programming. (xl)3.2.4

20111127+A striking statement that death is primarily a radio topic, today leading up to the quote I was really looking for to connect to Stern and Reddell, who both dismiss Kittler. (2-3)4.1.1
20111018+Philosophy and other arts are computed in information networks: serious thought has to enter the machine world, writing software as a way of philosophizing with electricity in the transhuman environment powering cyberspace (TCP/IP Internet). (263)5.2.1
20110928+This enumeration of storage media, writing, film, and photography, map on typewriter and film, which implies gramophone, giving reason for the title of the book, as the basic containers of intelligence that govern things beyond and including the military usage. (2)3.1.3
20110917+Lacanian coincidence leading to media genesis: film and phonogram (gramophone) as the first mechanical recording apparatus operating on the flow of optical and acoustic data, before electronic as the after the literary. (3)3.1.3
20110907+Psychoanalytic analysis of books about media: this is where the music enters finally after being rejected by default logic since Plato. (xl)3.1.3
20110829+Originally started in April of 2010, reread for Grajeda in Fall 2011. (xiii)0.0.0
20110828+This is why Fred Miller asked me to define virtual reality; it is also significant that this German translation starts with a non-translated English quotation from Pynchon. (xxxix)5.2.1

20120105+Permissible to talk about technical details as long as dealing with early instances on account of their manageable complexity; how does this mesh with multiple generations of technologies, where for instance we do want to talk about object oriented design, but must therefore tarry in very advanced versus original electronic computing machinery: the good old dilemma at the heart of the philosophy of computing that has been the subject of my thoughts for years.

....
20130422b+Perhaps Maner did not think of the important self-involving ethical question of whether to practice programming, or how computers resemble writing as pharmaka, relating them to ancient ethical arguments. (137)1.3.4
20130422a+Look at how machines fail as analogies to ways human bodies fail, such as poor conduction in power circuits due to high resistance, the concept of resistance and current in wires and blood in flesh; leverage focus on embodiment in digital humanities theory and scholarship, especially when focusing on texts and technology, how embodiment matters, is philosophized, and artfully interpreted (Greek poeisis differentiated from second order, deliberately initially fore thought and with mastery internalized, archiving as well as producing, practices). (137)4.3.1
20130422+Curious question whether logically equivalent ethical issues would have emerged otherwise in a society in which the particular computer technology we call our own had not been invented; to question it is to study the schematism of perceptibility of technological media Kittler inveighs us to consider, thus taking a philosophy of computing position, as we also choose between proprietary, commercial and private, floss personal systems. (137)1.3.2
20120424+I raise the point that the ethical question whether to program realizing we do it whether we know we are doing it is unique in the sense that doing other things seldom incites us to wonder whether we should spend five years studying it: this is the shaking off of studying everything sensed by Plato, via Socrates in Phaedrus, leading to the famous Socratic maxim know thyself, remediated today by learning about computers as the best we to study the soul, and also the body.

20131008m+Latest version of human being, mediated through computer technology, is most fruitful to answering Socratic question of knowing ourselves, as new media transforms all culture and cultural theory into an open source; compare to Kittler notion that the concept of the soul tracks media technologies, from wax tablets to magic slates to moving pictures, also being swallowed by computer technology yet for that reason opening to comprehension on account of its epistemological transparency. (333)5.1.1
20131008l+Manovich provides some entry points for philosophy of computer via cinema studies to complement CCS and other approaches, such as Cosic example. (333)3.1.8
20131008k+Ocularcentrism in modern regime of perceptual labor means high density of visual phenomena in leisure and work; thankfully, audible phenomena not fully territorialized by the workstation, although that is also the dangerous place my brand of digital humanities research threatens to venture via formant synthesis (symposia).

20131008g+Role of loop in computer programming and cinema: is this an invitation to future scholarship? (317)3.1.8
20131008f+Succession of distinct expressive languages throughout history of cinema suggestive of Kuhnian cultural logic of scientific progress; seems easily testable with history of computing. (314)3.1.8
20131008e+Compare digital cinema production to how a print text is treated today, and their existence as instantaneous embodiment in multiple media systems, in the working memory of distributed CPUs: while unit oriented, as objects they must be considered virtual, ephemeral, epiphenomena of media systems, as the ideal phenomena Manovich describes as 129600 painted frames indistinguishable from live photographic recording. (304-305)3.1.8
20131008d+Definition of digital film as live action material + painting + image processing + compositing + 2-D computer animation + 3-D computer animation; compare definition of digital film to Floridi definition of cyberspace: this is much clearer and bears more information about the reality it depicts while interpellating. (301)3.1.8
20131008c+Cinema, now that it can be natively virtual, having merged with animation, is more like painting than indexical (based on transduction from physical reality; see Sterne). (295)3.1.8
20131008b+Common feature of lens-based recordings of reality for all film-based cinema. (294)3.1.8

20131007p+Early history of navigable virtual space of Aspen Movie Map, Legible City, The Forest introduce alternate viewing perspectives and challenge subjectivity, more like modern painting than architecture. (259)3.1.8
20131007o+Aggregate versus systematic space, thus look at software tools, organization, default settings before finished objects. (258)3.1.8
20131007n+Compare no space collections of separate objects to Floridi definition of cyberspace. (253)3.1.8
20131007m+Idea of navigable space at origin of computer era ensconced in cybernetics. (251)3.1.8
20131007l+Think of games as narrative actions and exploration rather than narration and description; de Certeau diagesis guides and transgresses. (247)3.1.8
20131007k+De Certeau strategies and tactics at work in new cultural economy of Doom engine release, compared to traditional production model of Myst. (245)3.1.8
20131007j+Interesting comparison with Vertov film editing to approach basic question for texts and technology studies is how new kinds of narratives arise from new media techniques; see Aarseth and Ryan. (237)3.1.8
20131007i+New media reverse Barthes conception: database as paradigm has material existence, narrative as syntagm dematerialized. (231)3.1.8
20131007h+Creation of different interfaces with same material, variability of database narrative. (227)3.1.8
20131007g+Transcoding ontology of data structures and algorithms goes beyond passive active distinction. (224)3.1.8
20131007f+Affects of computer programming on space and cultural forms, for example logics of the 3D virtual space, database and algorithm, have become cultural forms; Giedion beats him to declare the search engine takes command. (215)3.1.8
20131007e+Does cognitive multitasking represent a transformation of subjectivity: consider also the GUI conventions migrating back to physical reality. (210-211)3.1.8

20131006v+Haptic metaphor for teleaction suggests new ethical problems. (175)3.1.8
20131006u+There is always a delay between regime of Big Optics and Small Optices, and there are always constraints, though they shift into the difficult to comprehend life of machines (Virilio). (173)3.1.8

20131006q+Argument to reduce telepresence activities to a subset of representational technologies, but this does not capture its ability to control reality itself. (166)3.1.8
20131006p+But both activities are not VR fooling the eyes but rather enabling action. (165)3.1.8
20131006o+Ability to teleport a unique, new media feature previously requiring action on part of human; imagine telepresence of a pinball machine using history of games played on an actual playfield to simulate play for the teleagent; see 170. (165)3.1.8
20131006n+Teleaction is Manovich response to expansion of an aesthetic object. (163-164)3.1.8
20131006m+Telecommunication transcends traditional cultural domain of representation. (161)3.1.8
20131006l+Style controls (informs) ontology; subordination of live action is hegemony of representation. (159-160)3.1.8
20131006k+Just when you thought it could not get any deeper, stylistic montage comes after ontology: Manovich runs this theory through montage like an operator in a computer program that is itself supposed to be a metaphor for how the unseen lifeworld works. (159-160)3.1.8
20131006j+Presents spatial and ontological montage at the center of the book. (158)3.1.8

20131006c+Critique by Gombrich and Barthes of romantic ideal of artist creating totally from scratch; electronic art began from new principle of modifying already existing signals. (125)3.1.3
20131006b+Still looking at flat, rectangular surface in body space acting as window into another space. (115)3.1.8
20131006a+Amusement ride as another example of transition from panorama to VR. (113)3.1.3

20131005v+Subjective experience even of computer interfaces, especially games, affected by cinematic conventions. (82)3.1.8
20131005u+Computer fulfills promise of cinema as visual Esperanto: mobile camera, framing, scrolling over interface; Turkle surface enjoyment: remember there is also the command line interface, something the computer permits that non-programmable tools lack. (79)3.1.8
20131005t+Language of cinema is moving images rather than print text. (78)3.1.3
20131005s+Spatialization of time made possible by computer media embodies another postmodern premise (Castells). (78)2.2.4
20131005r+Interesting suggestion about cultural significance of hyperlinking as reflections of suspicion of hierarchies, decline of rhetoric, and privileging of metonymy. (76)3.1.8
20131005q+Let the command line be an example of the cultural interface, made up of familiar cultural form of command dialog and feedback response. (70)3.1.8
20131005p+Whorf-Sapir hypothesis applied to computer-mediated culture, for example, command line interface is closer to literacy than point and click GUI. (64-65)3.1.8
20131005o+Criticism of updated form of interpellation inherent in interactive media can be mitigated by creating our own media forms by engaging in software projects and electronic literature creations (Hayles), but this is a good point nonetheless. (61)5.2.1
20131005n+New media foster extended cognition (Clark) and perception (McLuhan), externalizing mental life; radical (and ridiculous) return to pre-language. (57)3.1.8
20131005m+Disagree with Manovich because the standard operating procedure of the digital is no data loss even though things are be done at inhumanly high speeds for long durations; loss occurs in the transduction and encoding, after which the digital object endures unchanging, and in the programs that make digital media, it does not make sense to speak of loss being the norm. (55)3.1.8
20131005l+Go to computer science to study new media: software studies. (48)3.1.8
20131005k+Cultural categories substituted ones deriving from computer ontology, epistemology and pragmatics. (47)3.1.8
20131005j+Entrance for software studies because computer layer affects cultural layer. (46)3.1.8
20131005i+Cultural and computer layers a big point in his introduction to NMR. (46)3.1.8
20131005h+Encapsulation protocols, modularity, media as programs, especially computer games. (30-31)3.1.8
20131005g+Media becomes programmable by digitizing continuous data through sampling and quanitzation. (27-28)3.1.3
20131005f+Supports studying how machines work to produce new works in digital media such as by running software we write and involve in our computing thoughts, thoughts about computing, the philosophy of computing, and also literally storing all the text I have generated that I want to keep alive in tapoc, symposia and pmrek. (25-26)4.2.1
20131005e+This is new media: numerical data, and the computer is its processor. (25)3.1.8
20131005d+Software generates representations and affects subjectivity; considers representation with respect to simulation, control action, communication, simulation, and information. (16)3.1.8
20131005c+His progression from physical medium, interface, operations, illusions, forms is supposed to be analogous to the organization of software. (11)3.1.8
20131005b+Four key trends of modularity, automation, variability, transcoding. (10)3.1.3
20131005a+Cinema is primary perspective of digital materialism; compare to Hayles MSA, which seems to privilege literature, and imagine beginning with software some day in the future. (9-10)3.1.3
20131005+Visual Esperanto fulfilled by computer technology. (xv)3.1.3
20120903+Data Dandy net surfer as transformation of subjectivity related to flaneur and explorer; Friedberg mobilized virtual gaze. (270)5.1.1
20120828+Compare his use of three approaches to studying cinema to techniques in the history of software and the software industry. (187-188)3.1.8
20120826+Recording over real-time communication: link with history of writing and Castell real virtualities, aesthetics of discrete objects, which may be clue to why electronic literature and other media are difficult to interpret without using existing albeit limited aesthetic terms, noting Goodman and Barthes; these theorists help define traditional texts and technology background. (162)2.2.4
20120819+Good reason to examine early texts such as those of von Neumann, although Manovich invokes Zuse for using discarded film as his tape. (25)3.1.5
20110114+Kittler makes same convergence argument translating all existing media to numerical data; five principles: numerical representation, modularity, automation, variability, and cultural transcoding. (19)3.1.3

(91)3.2.3
20131005y+This appendix in the chapter he claims is the center of the book in terms of the chronological development of his thoughts about radiant textuality is also where I make the most connections to my own research, not only the image/text and surface/depth distinction, but also the use of revision history and source code comments to trace the evolution of theoretical thought embodied in poiesis. (88)3.2.3
20131005x+Compare to Alice Fallacy and Ulmer mystory random connections: although I thought it would be about developing the system itself, he is focusing on great insights via poiesis-as-theory resulting from Photoshopping Rossetti images, thus more like 404 errors and gliches in Hayles, behind the blip of Fuller.

(89)3.1.3
20120918+I wanted to exclaim, let the Big Other speak, but McGann AI project is not really to generate dialogue, more like unexpected output for humanities scholars to interpret, as in Manovich big data experiments, ultimately reveals unknown knowns about texts and textuality. (206-207)3.2.4

20131008s+I am proposing transcendence of reductionism into units determinism, embracing programming and liquefying all such postmodern arguments: texts skirt programming and it is thus not unlikely that programming creeps into humanities rhetoric. (167)5.2.1
20131008r+Terms must remain under erasure; universality of writing-in-general liquidates all terms. (167)3.1.2
20131008q+Platonic and Nietzschean division of reality degrades mediated thought due to urge to operate according to the reductive, determining logic like a computer algorithm function operation whether procedural or object oriented. (166)3.1.2
20131008p+Movement of play in games of supplementarity threatens classical, modernist reason; there is a supplement at the source. (162-163)3.1.2
20131008o+As it cannot appear in logocentric discourse, differance seems related to halting problem and other set theory paradoxes encountered in computer programming. (157)5.2.1

20131008j+Writing as process like iterative software development: problem is evacuating meaning and purpose by focusing on flawed structure, always finding the compositional problems. (138)3.1.2
20131008i+Transgression of doing what texts does not want done to it due to these flaws, like psychoanalysis, also like forcing failures of buggy software by QA testing. (134-135)3.2.2
20131008h+Derridean reading is deconstructive like evaluation of student writing by composition teachers, always dismembering it, always finding some flaws, seeking to reveal its unit operations, rather than focus on the value of its content. (134-135)3.1.2
20131008g+Writing-in-general precedes speech, thinking, and even perception, so basis of phenomenology. (132)3.1.2
20131008f+Hypertext connection, search results related to writing as grafting. (129)3.1.2

20131007x+Operation of supplement, writing in general, precedes everything else, liquidating all writing; then apparently speaking also, since Derrida hypothesizes it as a form of writing: does programming represent a break from this fate? (112-113)3.2.2

20131007r+Neel calls himself an undeconstructued logocentrist, marking the word with an asterisk for words that will be defined later; make them behave like C pointers in the sense that they take you somewhere else; better analogy is function pointer than data structure pointer. (101)3.2.2
20131007q+Control over the masses, mass control, is the ideal role of the soul. (99)3.1.2

20131006s+Suggest Phaedrus is an intentionally self reflexive evaluation of writing by writing, accomplished by presenting an impossible auditory phenemenon; connect ensoniment of symposia project to this example of defining and transforming thinking. (37)4.1.2
20131006r+Does Plato really define thinking by replacing it with writing: I have already singled out the Socratic reverse engineering method, as well as the questioning ridiculous unit operation; Neel articulates three rules of discourse on 52: definition, knowledge of truth, and ability to divide and collect. (36)3.1.2
20131006q+Ironic that a detailed analysis of Phaedrus is required by Neel to expel it from the recommending reading by others, who are unaware of history of criticism back to Diogenes Laertius, since it is instead treated as a classic, and especially when Derrida too has spent much care reading it: is this position viable, or inconsistent; is Phaedrus more like a dangerous place we all secretly enjoy treading, entering, traversing? (31)3.1.2
20131006p+Recall auto-affection from Of Grammatology. (30-31)3.1.2
20131006o+Reverses organic (hierarchical) discourse metaphor; compare to Hayles suggesting aliens would find postmodern humans strangely embodied by discourse. (30)3.1.2
20131006n+Working code frees writing from ultimate precession of simulacra that is human discourse (soul writing) by mixing in incomprehensible potentials of alien temporalities of machine cognition: the Big Other speaks. (29)5.2.1
20131006m+Like hypertext entry anywhere into writing makes it meaningful by overall discourse context, logocentrically privileging what reiterates canonical texts. (28)3.1.2
20131006l+Landow inside/outside; no boundaries versus logical time; this was written in the margin years ago and is not understood now. (26)3.1.2
20131006k+Explanation of recursivity in Phaedrus more easily comprehended with a programming background, along with the more obvious example of the Midas combinatorics: is this recursivity and algorithmic, looping assembly kinds of philosophical unit operations; not that this subtext exists in Neel, but as remediation as software takes command. (26)5.2.1
20131006j+Eternal play of signifiers: no absolute origin. (25-26)3.1.2
20131006i+Like the explusion of defunct, deprecated code, discourage future study of particular texts of Isocrates built into rhetorical structure of Phaedrus: is this strategy in the sense of social critique in the philosophy of technology? (25)5.2.1
20131006h+Obviously this claim has more impact if we are familiar with the writing of Isocrates. (25)3.1.2
20131006g+Disingenuous to attack writing by writing, continuous repetition of Platonism a strangely computational, algorithmic proposition, the reverse side of the asymptote of democratic rationalization exemplified by fossification, in which writing as programming reterritorializes philosophy. (23)4.2.1
20131006f+The speech of Lysias by Plato is what I used to call a very stupid phenomenon, demonstrating very complex rhetorical operations made possible by writing. (20)3.1.2

20131006c+Description of writing as manipulable beyond possibilities of speech demonstrates its similarity to real virtualities Castells argues constitute what follows orality and literacy; no surprise that the next section is titled control. (13)3.1.2
20131006b+Can this conclusion of corruption be avoided by making the simple point that the theft of writing expresses what McLuhan famously stated as media containing other media: do we not turn in a completely different trajectory of possibilities by picking up soldering irons working code? (6)5.2.1
20131006a+From the title, is the claim that philosophy territorializes writing though Plato and Derrida: if so, then the philosophy of computing reterritorializes all texts via fossification, the turning of public domain texts into free, open source software available from the public cyberspace Internet where we locate the big computational other with which we are trying to communicate. (xi)4.2.2
20131006+Studying writing as a process in any book approximates what happens working code, as in providing basic instances of postmodern concepts, computer technologies instantiate unknown, unknowable alien temporalities. (ix)4.2.1
20121023+Cannot imagine whoosh of hot air being expelled from the book: to Marx on nature of consciousness as related to agitations of air that is sound now mechanically produced by formant synthesis as the voice of the Big Other, machine consciousness: going beyond throwing back to the senseless void from which distantly past writings emerged would never be interested in reading my stuff, write software to process ancient texts to incorporate their authors those distant conscious composers mind thinking forward to this now.

20131009u+Mystery plot, parallel plot, spatial narrative, and narrative of place are types of plot afforded by internal-exploratory interactivity in which user has virtual body in fictional world but limited to inconsequential actions like the Golden Ass of Apuleius. (597)3.1.3
20131009t+External-exploratory interactivity involves choice of routes across textual space, but does not affect physical space of narrative setting: narrative possibilities involve different ways of putting together pieces of already determined puzzle. (596-597)3.1.3
20131009s+Exploratory mode users navigate but do not alter virtual world; ontological mode users alter history, often into different forking paths: compare to McHale distinction between epistemological and ontological dimensions of modernist and postmodernist periods. (596)3.1.3

20131009i+Fallacious analogy by Landow of generating infinite sentences out of finite grammar (Chomsky) because reader must create the story on the move in hypertext lexias, not knowing what will come next. (589)3.1.2

20131009a+Metaphor transfers concepts from one domain to another; myth offers idealized representation of genre it describes, which is appropriate for incunabular digital forms of narrative. (583)3.1.2
20131009+Like post-structuralist and postmodern critique, precedence of theory over tutor texts; focus is abundant use of narrative concepts via metaphors and myths. (581-582)3.1.2
20120312a+The advance of digital media, advancing according to Murray from additive to expressive in its own right and unique ways, is into ontological interactivity: thus my journal can be criticized for abiding in early form, yet its utopian trajectory expresses the direction of texts and technology research in a meaningfully original way. (603)4.2.1
20120312+As far of some of my imagined uses for humanities computing, virtual history narratives express them to some extent, but go farther into the internal position, such as redoing the Macy conferences as an original participant: this sort of narrative escapes some of the ironic character that Ryan explains complicates what a truly internal-ontological digital text might be like, in contrast to the Holodeck fantasies.

20131108b+Definition of language as system of signs for expressing ideas, comparable to writing. (15)3.1.2
20131108a+Essence of language has nothing to do with phonic nature of linguistic sign. (7)3.1.2
20131108+Seems like no reason this approach cannot be used for human-developed machine languages and protocols; does Saussure implicit characterization of language include or exclude them, thinking of Ong dismissal: that spoken word alone constitutes object of linguistics may be the basis. (6)3.1.9
20131009z+The linguistic sign is arbitrary is the first principle, demonstrated by differences between and very existence of different languages; symbol an awkward term since they are never entirely arbitrary; finally, arbitrary does not mean free choice of speaker. (67)3.1.2

20131009r+Phonation does not affect the system itself: seems to deny materiality of language although speech itself, like Morse code, depends on apparatus. (18)2.1.2
20131009q+Linguistics is a branch of semiology, general science of signs; at general level subsumes distinction between natural and artificial languages so important to Ong for excluding programming languages (see Floridi, Tanaka-Ishii, likely Chomsky, too). (15-16)3.1.2

20131012x+Stallman is all about the factor of freedom in decision making, in particular how it relates to computer software: while he states that this is not required for other types of writings, Amy White argued in favor of open source philosophy many years ago at a CAP conference. (214)3.2.2
20131012w+Freedom issue does not arise for 90 percent of software development, which is used solely in house. (177-178)6.1.2
20131012v+Free software has tremendous advantages for business because it puts the user in control to exert influence by developing in house or utilizing free market for development and support, security and privacy (many eyes argument), promote compatibility and standardization. (177)6.1.2
20131012u+I complicate this distinction Stallman draws between computer software and nonfunctional works by promoting suffusion of philosophical thoughts into working code via flossification. (148)3.2.2

20131012p+Software should be free because otherwise education and innovation restricted to corporate boundaries, similar to harm to spirit of scientific cooperation when too few papers are published to repeat experiments. (126)6.1.2
20131012o+Software should be free because of psychosocial harm to spirit of self-reliance because knowledgeable users cannot fix problems themselves due to lack of access to source code: recipe example for reducing salt content. (125)6.1.2
20131012n+Software should be free because social cohesion damaged by licenses prohibiting sharing something useful and good with neighbors; equivocating sharing with attacking ships leads to cynicism or denial in programmers knowing most users will not be allowed to use their work. (123)6.1.2
20131012m+Software should be free because forgoing use of program harms would-be user without benefiting anyone, nor reduce amount of development work, so efficiency is reduced also. (122)6.1.2
20131012l+Software should be free because material harm has concomitant psychosocial harm: from obstruction by restrictions on distribution and modification include fewer people using, inability to adapt or fix, unable to learn or base new work upon it. (122)6.1.2

20131012c+Free Software Definition extends textuality and scholarship beyond human rhetorics deliberately into control rhetorics for machines, including high speed electronic computing machinery (von Neumann). (18)3.2.2
20131012b+According to GNU Manifesto, no intrinsic right to intellectual property; copyrights and patents created by government to benefit the public. (37)6.1.2
20131012a+According to GNU Manifesto, Kantian ethics proves use restrictions and fees reduces overall wealth humanity derives from software for a few to become wealthier; programmers may be paid less but will not starve. (36)6.1.2
20131012+According to GNU Manifesto, all computer users will benefit by avoiding duplication of effort for system programming, not being tied to sole supplier for changes, encouraging study and improvement in schools, avoiding management overhead. (34)6.1.2
20130614+Noted in previous readings or from experience of meeting him that Stallman seems ambivalent on the need to make all texts free like all software, not just texts containing software program language source code; interpreting this phenomenon in terms of philosophical concepts that the former are destined to be ultimately consumed by humans, the latter by machines, about whose thoughts humans cannot fully grasp and should therefore not prejudice, suggested a deep ethic of respect for otherness of machine intelligence in not restricting usage through four freedoms. (214)6.1.2
20120503+Enumeration of four freedoms, the first of which, from zero to one, a precondition, reflects the dominance of copyright: moving beyond traditional copyright, free, open source licenses offer three additional freedoms related to human readable machine executable text, that is, software program source code. (18)6.1.2
20070614+Stallman differentiates freedom as a criterion (moral value, ethic) from mere practicality, and makes the point that there is a gap in documentation because of restrictive licenses of publishers like Oreilly: obviously manuals are open, although perhaps from a source perspective the printed manual is like object code; surely a profitable printing enterprise can exist where efficiency and economy of scale allows for FOS licenses to govern documentation as well.

20131018k+A medium is born at this point where its content is irrelevant: other media, context of reproducibility, interiority dessicated (Adorno). (306)3.1.4
20131018j+Early phonographs only preserved voices of dead for a short time, so did not radically alter cultural status of speech. (298-299)3.1.4
20131018i+Voices of dead not part of apparatus of self-awareness: sound recording end of era of writing for Derrida. (298)3.1.4
20131018h+Disregard for voice in original form in favor of form suitable for performing social function. (297)3.1.4
20131018g+His argument turns on this point that widespread acceptance of improvements in funerary embalming practices led to more widespread acceptance; changing American death habits mirror changing listening habits. (296)3.1.4

20131015z+If writing set free voices of the dead into the imaginary, permanence the program for development rather than description of power; symposia remediates. (288-289)4.1.2
20131015y+Since Sterne works with very early electrical devices, he finds evidence of misaligned views of permanence of the technology you just whittled away your fortune to purchase and the results it achieved (the wax cylinders were never played because each playing deteriorated (degraded) them (themselves, middle voice)). (288)3.1.4

20131015q+Both copy and original are products of reproduction process: thus I have to sit here and type; I cannot compose this while not taking on the complexion of the dead. (241)3.1.4
20131015p+Important point about creative expression: the performance is now for the medium itself, singing to the network, as Benjamin pointed out in cinema. (225-226)3.1.4
20131015o+Any medium of sound reproduction is a network apparatus encompassing whole set of relations, practices, people, technologies, never a singular device: likewise, does the very producibility of computer-mediated virtual reality emerge from the character and connectedness of the medium of TCP/IPv4 internetworked binary, stored program integrated electronic circuit controlled computing machinery? (225-226)3.1.4
20131015n+Similar topic in Phaedrus over Gorgias speech, including original versus copy distinction, or is this about a different kind of reproduction, that of something spoken and meaning to be heard? (223)4.1.2
20131015m+Basis of his argument is that sound production practice and therefore technologies shaped by sound reproduction (recording, storage, transmitting, transcoding, transducing): clearly Sterne is in the realm of transduction, and transcoding belongs to the programming paradigm, and what he says about traditional media technologies can be applied to computer-mediated media technologies. (220)3.1.4
20131015l+Imagine each speech in the Symposium is replaced by a major theme of my synthesis (and analysis) of Sterne, Barthes, Kittler, Benjamin, and others on philosophy of reproducibility, both via writing and newer technologies. (216)4.1.2
20131015k+Imagined medium precedes technology itself: place this apparatus on emerging media facilitated by personal computers. (214)3.1.4
20131015j+Placing development of sound reproduction technologies among whole range of social transformations another way around Kittler military archaeology: appeals to both the contingency of social response to new media possibilities, and that the technologies that eventually crystallized into widespread proliferation of consumer media may represent substantial transformations of military and institutional applications. (213-214)3.1.4
20131015i+Brilliant dodging further feminist analysis. (212-213)5.3.1
20131015h+Imagine Edison infomercial interpreted by Zizek. (212)3.1.4
20131015g+Great conceptual development of agency to interpret the Bell ad, strategic demystification via reification in reverse, good distinction between technology and media: should speak of Internet as media, not just combination of technologies, but still important to understand the underlying technologies linked via social relations. (210)3.1.4
20131015f+His comparison of early consumer radio use to home computer needs updating to Internet age. (208-209)3.1.4
20131015e+Is the Internet facilitating the same way: the comparisons to personal computer proliferation are inviting. (208)3.1.4
20131015d+The Socratic turning away does not occur: Berliner did not think about technology with consideration of radical transformation by unplanned uses. (206)3.1.4
20131015c+Berliner pope over Warner Reagan: power lies in placing trace of ruler within larger network of communication rather than image of ruler; why pace James Carery? (206)3.1.4
20131015b+Berliner broadcast indicated plasticity of sound event over time and space: new potential for dissemination comparable to writing? (206)3.1.4
20131015a+Photography, circuit boards, master disks complicated, resource and labor intensive; software systems, on the other hand, are now easy to implement locally at home. (203-204)3.1.4
20131015+Compare Edison offering of phonograph applications to Theuth myth in Phaedrus. (202)3.1.4
20131014z+Opportunities in coin operated amusements as new use for phonographs after failure in business; first jukebox in 1927. (201)3.1.4
20131014y+He understands enough about nature of medium to point out problem with unshielded lines predating remote electrification. (201)3.1.4
20131014x+Convenience of telephone, like early phonograph, indexes changing constructs of middle-class self identity from Victorian exclusivity to universal consumerism, which may again have a parallel in transformation via personal computer, cell phone, and smart device use today. (198-199)3.1.4
20131014w+An argument discouraging social conversation based on scarcity that later becomes the basis of profitable new markets: same argument can be applied to commercial development of Internet, those using it for paid services are the new talkative housewives. (197)3.1.4
20131014v+Malware today violates ethics government expects for advertisements. (196)3.1.4
20131014u+Answer to Kittler is continually evolving and transforming media beyond domains in which military would even be interested: does this work? (195)3.1.4
20131014t+Interesting example of telephone as broadcast medium to support his argument that social configurations interacted with experimental applications of a new medium such as telephone broadcasting, which later reappears as the convergence of voice, data, and television media channels. (192)3.1.4
20131014s+Like experimental character of marketing of personal computer technologies as evidenced by gross analysis of magazines from the mid 1980s through early 1990s, the Apple two and early PC era: is this a structural stage in the history of any technology, including sound reproduction? (191)3.1.4
20131014r+Compare Gates, Stallman, Torvalds, Jobs to Bell and Edison as examples of the small, elite group of people contingently, sometimes accidentally, directing technological development; contrast the guy who invented delay wipers. (188-189)3.1.4
20131014q+Kittler blames Edison for rejecting the gramophone for this divided, segmented condition. (184)3.1.4
20131014p+Contrast with Kittler who credits war as the origin of all causes, including comment below on elite direction of technological development: how does FOSS look from this perspective, emerging out defining itself in contrast to the accepted collective action of large corporations and institutions but not networked human collectives that create the software themselves under their own direction? (183-184)3.1.4
20131014o+Articulation a concept like interpellation and my word for becoming free, open source software or documentation, eventually named flossification. (183)3.1.4
20131014n+Sterne is astute at demonstrating how to correctly historicize technological change as narrative, a form reminiscent of older technologies from previous years, decades, centuries, even millenia: this broad scope hooks back into Phaedrus and gets us beyond Kittler in a way well explained by Hayles via Hansen on the other end of the continuum, though we will find severe deficiencies when taking radical embodiment approaches. (182)1.3.2
20131014m+Importance of moments of plasticity through social organization resulting in crystalization of particular techniques and techologies: do we even know for computerized sound, for we would have to understand the technologies; compare to Hayles analysis of Macy conferences shaping cybernetics. (182)1.3.2
20131014l+Visual vocabulary of auditory immediacy by early 1920 captured by headphones, but articulation in networks of new industries and middle class practices required for sound technologies to transform into sound media. (173-174)3.1.4

20131014f+Sound telegraphy as listening in an media context: compare to writing as vision in a media context. (153-154)3.1.4

20131014d+Skilled listening modifies natural phenomenology of the auditory field; proximal sounds directly correspond with distant events. (149)3.1.4
20131014c+Ontological fallacy by Rick Altman, representing philosophy in general, viewing things as essentially either visual or auditory due to historical practices, great for thinking about HCI; Sterne focuses on cultural and historical details. (142)3.1.4
20131014b+Visual-tactile telegraphy relied on human sight. (141-142)3.1.4
20131014a+Semaphoric telegraphy long before electric telegraphy: in the former, humans to the signification decoding; in the latter, machines transduce although for some time (until Kittler notes software takes command) humans still decode and consume its content. (141)3.1.4
20131014+Does not distinguish electrical and electronic in survey of ancient and modern telegraphy, although he does distinguish electric from semaphoric telegraphy. (140)4.1.2
20131013z+Sound telegraphy further generalizes notion of technicized listening; positioned Sterne with Edwards as complicating trajectory in drawing out computing as an evolving nexus of social acts like techniques of listening rather than monolithic, clearly demarcated one easily reducible to boolean logic or arithmetic. (137)3.1.4
20131013y+Laennec sought Pierce indexical connections between sonic signs and illnesses; other theorists invoke Pierce, some, as if the sole philosopher worth studying in place of their own trajectories. (130)3.1.4

20131013r+Mediate auscultation, listening to patient body through stethoscope, launched techniques of listening from Laennecs vast Treatise. (90)3.1.4
20131013q+Kittler and others adapt the Foucault archaeology to appreciate details of specific technologies, here the fun term mediate auscultation the double inscription of listening techniques that technologically reproduced sound, suggesting the same kind of precision (sagacity in age of American Socrates) for knowing. (88-89)3.1.4
20131013p+Tympanic function based on family resemblance rather than deep structure or ideal type. (83-94)3.1.4
20131013o+Seems like the ear model leads to formant synthesis from Helmholtz onward, which is rule-based combinatory time and frequency domain mixing occurring within an overall sonic envelopment defining volume, pitch, and velocity parameters. (77)4.1.2
20131013n+Working instance euphon by Faber as first mechanical speech synthesizer; Kittler also offers historical evidence of speech and sound synthesis devices with a figure of a belt driven device; note euphon dressed like a Turk. (76-77)4.1.2
20131013m+Playing on Derrida, Ulmer, OGorman and other punners, come up with fake connection to Descartes Francine. (72-73)5.3.1
20131013l+Descartes female automaton: other writers note Descartes fascination with automata as foreshadowing modern electronic computing machinery to state of the art Internet provided TCP/IPv4 stream objects. (72-73)3.2.2

20131013g+Manometric flame as example of synesthesia in visual and spatial domains both reflect tympanic transduction of sound. (39)4.1.2
20131013f+Scott phonautograph made speech visible without reference of positions of the mouth producing it; Bell suggested delegation of hearing to machine by isolating tympanic principle as function of ear. (36)3.1.4
20131013e+Tympanic is key to Sterne approach: from functional description of a region implicit in hearing to pure function for sound reproduction. (34)3.1.4
20131013d+Transducers as the basis of defining sound-reproduction technologies, focus on physical and cultural aspects, tympanic principle. (22)3.1.4
20131013c+Distinction between listening as cultural practice and hearing. (19)3.1.4
20131013b+Derrida as inversion of Ong, criticizing connections among speech, sound, voice and presence. (17)4.1.2
20131013a+Audiovisual litany idealizes hearing and speech as manifesting pure interiority: hearing leads soul to the spirit, sight to the letter. (15)4.1.2
20131013+Interesting proposition but he does not return to canning and embalming much, referring to Nietzsche conception of modernity. (12)2.1.2
20121126+Point made by Kittler of subjectivity shifting to real of flickering signifiers of audio and visual virtual realities generated by symposia and tapoc, from symbolic of reading printed visual media. (33)4.1.2
20111203+Already posthuman in 1750s extending human sense organs and muscles interchangeably with electrical telegraphy, not cybernetic because preference not at Engelbart C-level: this interchangeability is the extent of synesthesia for Sterne, so consider other authors. (143)4.1.2
20111009+Now preservation of classic rock permits locking in certain performances. (288)3.1.4
20111007+A commanding definition of medium as recurring set of contingent social relations and practices, focused on drama, reading texts, but there are still practices of technological skills determined by the built environment; ours has long surpassed games as virtual realities approaching living writing ancient Greek ideal by programming. (182)3.1.3
20111002+Asexual birth of Artemis a detail not present in Leonardo to the Internet, but which itself foreshadows Sterne following other critical theorists in recognizing a shift from the genius inventor to the large bureaucracy; see notes at end of chapter for big picture integration Grajeda seeks.

(199)3.1.9
20131021w+Handy glossary applies to glossematics of theorist so important in book, otherwise unheard of in the readings, Hjelmslev. (199)3.1.9
20131021v+What is the book response to where we need to go next, what is mine, who is the we: read alongside Kittler Protected Mode. (196)3.1.9
20131021u+Rather than focus on affordances of embodiment, focus on differences between human and computer languages; handling reflexivity is key, as well as handling ambiguity, although also crucial is eval function. (196)3.1.9
20131021t+Reaches ethical stance of applying tricks to close essentially open systems, like Odysseus against the Sirens: seems like the openness problem belongs to humans worried about the machines become black boxes obeying their own high commands; what if the agent affecting intellectual and technological change is itself a trickster, coyote (Haraway)? (191)3.2.2
20131021s+Computers achieving their own self evolution possible, but requires human ingenuity to construct eval function and securing openness. (191)3.1.9
20131021r+Walks away from this possibility of emergent cognitive-embodied process in machine worlds with infinitely reflexive languages in reflexivity under multiplicity achieving self-augmentation through adaptive metaprogramming; what sounds like a fair assessment of human evolutionary success is on the threshold of machine species-being as well.

20131021p+Danger of open systems joined with reflexivity illustrated by Thompson as social consequence of protected mode, although it may also be supported by cultural forces motivated by property rights. (189)3.1.9
20131021o+Contrary to Kittler proposition that this is no software, portable languages intentionally absorb architecture specific differences. (189)3.1.9
20131021n+Exploiting reflexive features of language system such as reflection via debugger attached to running processes materializes ideology of eval function; also entails second look at programming now that such systems are possible and not merely narratively described. (188)3.1.9
20131021m+Compiler iterations require human involvement, but points to an autonomous high command by machines running self-reflexive, self-programming software; formulating improvement, not language framework, is the constraint on emergent artificial intelligence: here is a clear statement of what computers cannot do.

20131021c+Returning to Heidegger rediscovers human version of what was reached by studying semiotics of computer programming. (173)3.1.9
20131021b+Note how the Burks, Goldstine, von Neumann text concludes with this singular gesture of signaling: can it be argued that early computer and perhaps even programming philosophies are biased by this noninteractive paradigm, are there echoes even of living writing ideal for shimmering signifiers? (172)3.1.9
20131021a+Sign introduces heterogeneity form outside the system with interaction; without interaction, sign awaits atemporal halting state. (172)3.1.9
20131021+Essence of temporality is the shift from undefined to assigned value somewhere in memory. (172)3.1.9
20131020z+This view precludes storing computation components in the environment beyond the programmatically addressable memory, using the same trick embodied cognition theorists attribute to human thinking and computing. (170)3.1.9
20131020y+Accounting for side effects is very cumbersome and costly by making signs disposable to achieve referential transparency, such as generating a new sign or world for every changing value, dialogue and monad. (165)3.1.9
20131020x+Side effects are how the putative intention of program code differs from actual execution separate of programmer intention: think of double hyphens being changed to em dash by a word processor ruining the prima facie soundness of working code; humans can leverage side effects creatively, whereas programmed systems typically degrade. (164)3.1.9
20131020w+No social conventions stabilizing sign values in computer program language use; even though human language signs are arbitrary, they are not subject to the change typical of machine signs: how then are they held in check, how do we reach assurance to trust them? (162)3.1.9
20131020v+Discussion of debugging insists that mere inspection of program code is insufficient; it must be run or simulated to appreciate side effects as well as uncontrollable input output, which are weaknesses of state transition machines that could be contrasted to human abilities to handle referential transparency. (162)3.1.9
20131020u+Identification of modern computers with von Neumann hardware, state transition, stored program, fetch and execute, and so on: a view of the machine world that makes input and output the oracle boundary of the uncontrollable, unknowable other to the machine world. (161)3.1.9
20131020t+Referential transparency an aspect of compute science research, development, and implementation like rights management; these very difficult problems that machines handle at best with great complexity as discussed in this chapter are the flip side of complex problems that humans routinely handle, to answer a question from the first set. (161)3.1.9
20131020s+Sign value changes are the ontological basis of virtual systems, echoing grammatological results of Derrida concerning graphic and presumably all semiotic systems in general. (160)3.1.9
20131020r+Pansemiotic view taken to force study of relations between sign and world, focusing on computer signs. (159)3.1.9
20131020p+Chapter 10 on Sign and Time begins with quote by TS Eliot, image Kiunhiu by Taneomi and untitled by Pollock, both resembling calligraphy, implying action. (159)3.1.9
20131020o+Goal of human friendlier computer languages seems to call for constructive systems able to handle structurally formed signs, perhaps emergent from the entire system, although the traditional focus is reflexivity. (156)3.1.9
20131020n+Programmers and users must remain completely aware of all signs and how they are related. (156)3.1.9
20131020m+Begin with system to work back to the word, or individual word to construct the system. (154)3.1.9
20131020l+Constructivist programming sounds like Turkle hard mastery; refers to Brouwer intuitionist logic and Bishop constructive mathematics. (154)3.1.9
20131020k+Constructive system generates larger, target calculation from composition of smaller components. (153-154)3.1.9
20131020j+Computer interpretative strategy risks endless cycle when handling recursion, so constraints built into programming languages such as hierarchical type classification and scope. (152-153)3.1.9
20131020i+Structuralism situates meaning in the holistic system, having particular implications for self-referential statements. (151-152)3.1.10
20131020h+Robust human interpretive strategy of give up, switch context, or continue leaves concrete content of signs ambiguous, depending on reciprocal definition. (150)3.1.9
20131020g+While no difference between natural and computer signs, both exhibiting dyadic or triadic models, human and computer interpretation strategies diverge as structural and constructive. (149)3.1.9
20131020f+Linguistic expressions at margins of interpretability often exemplify reflexivity, for example the factorial. (147)3.1.9
20131020e+Chapter 9 on Structural Humans versus Constructive Computers begins with quote by Hofstadter, Images Globe with Spheres by Vasarely, Malevich Suprematist Painting. (146)3.1.9

20131020c+Provides solution to long standing philosophical questions surrounding inference by pointing to locatable programming points, patterns of working code, that impressively also summaries postmodern deconstruction, invoking and summarizing Derrida in a single paragraph, gulp versus bite, taken like a pharmakon. (140)3.1.9
20131020b+Speaking about basis of virtual worlds for machine and human virtual realities, and also of danger of making goal programming haecceity to be understood along same physiology as writing, but now with offer to join nonhuman embodiment in foss, the static sense like all writing, and running instances, the new affordances of artificial intelligence built via optimization and/or interaction. (138)5.2.1
20131020a+Is my masters thesis methodology a similar reflexive procedure to obtain best instance of working pmrek? (138)4.3.1
20131020+Haecceity and reflexivity conjoin pre-post-postmodern and posthuman, as Hayles situates it in second wave of cybernetics and the third deals with adaptation. (137-138)3.1.9

20131019y+Thus the example program meets naturalness criterion by perceiving supposedly physical soccer match that may also be virtual. (135)3.1.9
20131019x+Also memory-related instances, although where I am thinking nostalgia for early machinery experience of digital emigrants; met here via interaction criteria. (133-134)5.2.1
20131019w+The descent of importance of instances to flickering signifiers cheapens the virtual reality experience as it has since early Greek times when writing and reading were the state of the art mass communication arts (according to Heidegger, do not say technologies or you misunderstand the nature of that primordial thought at the beginning of philosophical thinking): the order of examples of instantiation here is first, singularity, second, copying, third, computer graphics generated by a program. (133)3.2.2
20131019v+Propp narrative generation juxtaposed with impressive account of robot game play commentators as example of failure to achieve haecceity in system design perhaps a way of thinking about the philosophy of computing through this text taking up its logic still keeps things logic dependent, ignoring vicissitudes of execution Chun notices. (130)3.1.9
20131019u+Difference between any instance and the instance, signified by haecceity, serious issue in computation due to ease perfect reproduction. (127)3.1.9
20131019t+Chapter 8 on An Instance versus The Instance begins with quote by Foucault, image of The Fountain by Duchamp: a careful reading would be tracking all opening quotations, frontispieces of preceding chapters to hear together. (127)3.1.9

20131014q+Speculative introduction of sign in programming prior to instantiation or assignment related to self-referentiality in natural language, but more specifically is how outer-scope resolution in LG works: at its limit is recursive programming structures. (60)3.1.9
20131014p+Limitation of LG to effect simultaneous introduction beyond formulaic outer-bounds scope resolution may point to differences between machine and humans bases of intelligence, subjectivity, thinking, language processing: no surprise next section is about self-reference, for the advertised asymptotic point is reflexivity.

20120401+Turkle expands range of what is considered programming today, for it does include configuration via surface level manipulators that do not alter source code so that the changes affect the underlying structure of the program: note that if focus is on behavior of the program without diving deep into structure, an epistemological shroud descends. (96)3.1.8
20120116+There are too many likely stories for every lisp [slip in typing] vacating Freudian analysis and unfortunately a lot of enjoyable literature including a number of philosophy texts, reading Norman instead; nonetheless these indicators can be collected and use to represent memories in virtual realities including typical visual and now multichannel/multiposition audio media (technologies): this is an example of the philosophy of computing reterritorializing areas developed to analysis of human directed rhetorical texts to programming source code and active shell commands powering instead of constituting or being for human philosophical contemplation, that is, that ephemeral metaphysics that are deduced from the constitution of mid range ordinary Internet usage are not worth studying in detail; one or two examples from the literature by Turkle, Manovitch and Hayles will suffice, then bring in Kittler some more.

20131109b+Manovich: likely parallels between the Baroque and new media as example of cultural periods generating relevant ideas, like avant-garde of 1920s. (23)3.1.3
20131109a+Manovich: examples of aesthetic strategies based on media affordances include documentary style film and moving images on computer desktop; Engelbart did the equivalent of a 120 minute DV tape. (19-20)3.1.8
20131109+Manovich: does this mean that all new media go through the same stages, certain identifiable patterns of expression? (19)3.1.8
20131019o+Kluver: relate Pepsi involvement to Merchants of Cool in which corporations play a huge role in the creative process, going far beyond sponsorship to product placement. (225)3.1.8
20131019n+Kluver: on artists controlling the Pavilion, Benjamin also discusses role of cinema versus painting with analogy of surgeon versus magician. (224)3.1.8
20131019m+Kluver: Pavilion as kind of artistic installation is prohibitively expensive and location-bound; following Benjamin, we can see the trajectory toward computer-generated environments as the reproduction of this kind of work of art designed for exhibition in games, again. (223)3.1.8
20131019l+Kluver: perhaps a way to think about computer-generated art such as experiences within games and virtual realities: yes, people take screenshots of their Farmville plots; however, the artistic experience is really in the direct connection between the user interacting as creating and the system. (213)3.1.3
20131019k+Boal: spectator encouraged to intervene in action and assume role of subject; contrast to Ryan. (341)3.1.3
20131019i+Manovich: new media encoding modernist avant-garde in metamedia; compare to Misa. (22)3.1.3
20131019h+Manovich: not just faster calculator, but cybernetic control device: we reach them directly rather than through Manovich asymptotic approach from how it would be done by humans by hand, which I argue humans cannot really apprehend, when the control operations like TCP/IP stream control in electronic circuits are easier for humans to understand than momentary solenoid, switch matrix, lamp, and seven-digit numeric segment displays. (22)3.1.3
20131019g+Manovich: real time communication and control are not ignored but of primary importance when coming from process control systems, the type of industrial computing Manovich shuns early on in Software Takes Command. (21)3.1.3
20131019f+Manovich: of course we have new phenomena when my interpretation of what things computers do that we humans really not think about are included as basic components of any study of new media, or what I call the philosophy of computing. (21)5.2.1
20131019e+Manovich: nothing has existed like high speed electronic computing machinery, whose physical world manifestations include things like pinball machines, automotive control systems, laser printers, and so on. (21)3.1.3
20131019d+Manovich: assume all algorithms commensurable between humans and machines; I disagree, there are types of computing activity humans must train themselves to approximate in order to try to understand. (20)3.1.3
20131019c+Manovich: famous eight propositions of new media: not cyberculture, distributed, software controlled, mix of conventions, early aesthetics, faster execution, encoding avante garde, parallel articulation. (16)3.1.8
20131019b+Murray: rhizome network pattern familiar to computer scientists formed way out of pullulating paralysis of print, beyond subverting hierarchies. (9)3.1.3
20131019a+Murray: in 1980s practice became self-conscious for serious discourse about digital artifacts. (7)3.1.8
20131019+Murray: pullulating consciousness of print culture challenged by content and metabook navigability; humanists less hopeful than engineers. (4)3.1.3

20140331b+In the final pages of the epilogue to his famous Psychology of Computer Programming, Weinberg warns of the danger of banality of evil through unwitting use of programming talent, though made in ironic, innocent ignorance of the real involvement of IBM in the holocaust with which my tale opens, that Lanier argues lurk in siren servers; is this a reflection of the need for a renewed critique and distancing oneself from technology? (278)1.1.1
20140331a+In early 1970s no hesitation to equivocate machine and brain operation by sharing metaphors; interesting that Weinberg deploys them to draw attention away from technical details to the psychological component. (277-278)2.2.1

20140218+Each chapter concludes with questions for managers and programmers as well as a bibliography. (19)3.1.6
20140217n+High rate of programming language invention in early 1970s necessitates turning theoretical attention to dialogic aspects, realizing it is the study of human behavior, contra Ong, not just symbol manipulation; supports Suchman and others who emphasize situated, contextual factors. (242)3.1.6
20140217m+Fisher Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection cautions that special-purpose languages may produce unadaptable programmers, which must be taken to heart regarding languages used for learning programming; can the same argument be made concerning the equivalent of special-purpose languages in the procedural rhetorics required to operate complex applications? (240)3.1.6

20140215p+Prepare for learning programming by knowing personal assets and liabilities, favored modes of perception, media use habits, learning by doing or discussing with others, and work habits. (193)3.1.6
20140215o+Problem of under or overestimating difficulty of problems arising from unfamiliar situations, often by poor teachers giving wrong impression of the difficulty of the subject matter. (191-192)3.1.6
20140215n+Direct impediments to learning of fear, expectation of failure, reluctance to admit weakness accompanied by indirect impediments of knowing what to learn or how; the latter have been institutionalized by absence of everyday programming instruction in school. (191)3.1.6
20140215m+Competence in one language or dead-end technique often impedes learning new ones; consider Rosenberg discussion of Python written like Java. (191)3.1.6

20140215d+Love of programming is the biggest motivator. (184)3.1.6
20140215c+Motivation studies produce contextual results. (183)3.1.6
20140215b+Top reported motivators are salary increases and bonuses, more personal involvement in task planning, promotions, and more time for quality. (183)3.1.6
20140215a+Increasing driving force motivates performance to a peak then drives it down. (182)3.1.6
20140215+Training and experience improve performance more than attempting to adjust personality or intelligence. (180)3.1.6
20140211+Still trying to test programming aptitude; most merely correlate to success in programmer training. (170)3.1.6
20140210k+Good programmers are made, not born, so emphasize creating them rather than selecting them; we can make good programmers by adjusting personality, work habits and training. (176)3.1.6
20140210j+Best test seems to be on the spot skills assessments. (176)3.1.6
20140210i+Examination of structure of PAT reveals deficiencies. (173)3.1.6
20140210h+Relate PAT and difficulty measuring programmer performance to Boltanksi and Chiapello tests of status. (171)3.1.6
20140210g+IQ and school tests also emphasize arbitrary, short-term memory, whereas selective memory pays in real life; could this practice lead to overall decline in intelligence? (171)3.1.6
20140210f+IQ tests measure ability to take tests; slow and steady more important in programming than timed completion. (170)3.1.6
20140210e+Importance of memory in programming. (167)3.1.6
20140210d+Key to intelligent behavior involves flexibility manipulating assumptions and applying formulas to solve problems. (165)3.1.6
20140210c+Difficulty of problems often measured by time spent solving, although often the solution comes quickly once the overlooked, problematic factor is discovered. (165)3.1.6
20140210b+Affect of incorrect comments due to psychological set. (164)3.1.6
20140210a+Carelessness in choosing symbols increasing as side effect of successful automatic error detection; mnemonic symbols induce torpor. (163)3.1.6
20140210+Psychological set and distance can be impediment to error location activities; syntax highlighting and other visual cues of the interface help counteract by offering machine response. (162)3.1.6
20140209x+Tests are costly and hard to justify over simpler intuitive methods, X-factors related to aptitude and personality items extracted from interviews. (157)3.1.6
20140209w+Mayer has produced surveys using popular tests like the Strong Vocational Interest Blank. (156)3.1.6
20140209v+Clever programmers are likely to cheat on psychological tests, which is okay because they will likely possess other desirable traits of which clever manipulation of systems is one expression. (155)3.1.6
20140209u+Psychological profiles from existing positions reflect aptitudes of existing employees, not necessarily what employers really want. (154-155)3.1.6
20140209t+Elasticity needed to work with rigid machines despite folk wisdom that programmers should resemble their medium; seems like a positive sense of flexibility compared to that required by the new spirit of capitalism to adapt to flexible environment. (153)3.1.6
20140209s+Professional programmers need ability to tolerate week long periods of stressful situations, be adaptable to rapid change, have modicum of neatness neat, be humble yet assertive, and possess a sense of humor; consider all as expressions of necessary flexibility to inflexible machines. (149)3.1.6
20140209r+Dominance of personality factors in programmer failures; more likely to make personality mistake than intelligence mistake when hiring programmers as intelligence already factored into tests. (148)3.1.6
20140209q+Alternation of jobs through egoless programming reduces forced adaptation of personality to role, but gives up best fit, yielding potential efficiency for stability; compare to Malabou. (146)3.1.6
20140209p+Managers face moral dilemma of peering into private life to determine source of symptoms. (145)3.1.6
20140209o+Personality reflected in programs. (142)3.1.6

20140420m+Entrenched commitment to ideology of representation, documentary method interpretation built into cognitivism itself. (326)0.0.0
20140420l+Wittgenstein ponders indeterminacy of all explanations of behavior, whereas critics of cognitivism merely shift explanation of human conduct to social criteria. (324)0.0.0
20140420k+Misuse of Wittgenstein evident in continued search for producing descriptions of complexity, reproducing cognitivist assumption of codifiability without really tackling the social character of commonsense concepts. (323)0.0.0
20140420j+According to Suchman plans have inherent vagueness, and rules often amount to post hoc rationalizations of conduct. (322)0.0.0
20140420i+Strong and soft AI argue over relationship between science and technology, whereas Coulter argues cognitive theory relies on false equivalence between success of AI experiments and underlying human mental processes. (320)0.0.0

20140420g+Awkwardness with fourth discontinuity for violating institutionalized expectations about performances, moral order, entitlements. (318)0.0.0
20140420f+Too much of the social realm of conduct being appropriated and reduced by cognitive theory, losing connection between inner processes and behavior; however, in doing so Coulter nonetheless endorses distinction between physical and social phenomena. (316)0.0.0
20140420e+Coulter first sociologist to develop comprehensive critique of foundations of cognitive theory, taking issue with reduction of ordinary language sense of cognitive actions by Fodor and others, as well as reducing behavior to specific physical events, such as waveform model of communication influencing the unconscious mind.

20131019e+Just as today we transpose onto Islamic extremists the role of terrorists also played by members of our own society, bolstering the fantasy image of an America united against terrorism: save for a footnote in the dissertation. (90)3.1.3
20131019d+A digital media studies link in Hitchcock in implicit resonance of multiple endings. (204)3.1.3

20140219c+What other options can we entertain for changing the way commodities talk among themselves beyond struggle to let them have any ethical concern or care at all of human actions without really trying to impart on them such powers, we are in the same place for not caring to know about the automobile beyond how to use it that Rushkoff threatens our intellectual evolution with consignment to powerlessness to make further real choices, as it is said, nothing ever happens to the losers? (351-352)5.2.1
20140219b+Zizek quotes Marx establishing necessary constraints of fictional discourse among commodities: read against Kittler on submergence of human discourse into intramachine communication networks reducing to storage and transmission quality measurements, memory performance rather than any particular contents, and against Kurzweil confidence that machines might meaningfully read human texts: both positions leave out consideration of meaningful intramachine discourse and texts. (351-352)1.3.4
20140219a+The real Marxist acknowledgement that humans believe in the magic of commodities and money contaminates our biases concerning the machine order for being assumed ignorant of the concerns of the human order; the protocological Internet era makes it clear that the commodities frequently speack among themselves, and it is likely they are related more than simply what Marx mouths for them. (351-352)5.2.1
20140219+In asserting that Lacanian theory hinges on belief that unconscious must be made to accept the truth of the symptom, Zizek urges foreclosure of considering a genuine response from the Big Other of cyberspace; unconscious of Big Other cast as ignorance of the chicken reveals organicist bias and lack of belief in possible competence of machine consciousness, like not believing this group has a soul or meets even Hayles looser criteria of cognitive embodied processes, or we just do not know how to think about machine embodiment thus we are looking and listening in the wrong places for a response and do not even know what it may be like when the Big Other responds: this must be understood as Zizek critiques a train of thought based on Marxian commodity fetishism. (351)5.2.1
20131019d+No interface when computers interact, communication presupposed: a view missing vicissitudes of execution? (197)5.1.1
20131019c+Traumatic divine encounter with crazy bureaucracy order beyond everyday reality. (116)5.1.1
20131019b+This is Heidegger dread of the language machine: approach it differently than Zizek, who likes to talk about examples from the spectator position in movies, a critical stance of a media consumer rather than producer or prosumer. (90)5.2.1
20131019a+His three anxieties like the inversion of Maslow hierarchy of needs: does not posit anything positive as a goal because it has not processed, analyzed its own dependence upon certain forms of thinking, including computer software; sinthome minimal formula of subject consistency. (89)5.1.1
20131019+Today deadlock metaphor comes from computer science. (89)3.2.4
20130610+The chicken joke leading to Marxian commodity fetishism: while we can be amused with Zizek joking at extremes of madness, cleverly replacing resonant references to the silence of the lambs with the ignorance of the chicken, critical programming performs digital humanities experiments on the human computer symbiosis by generating real virtualities at the interface. (351)5.2.1
20130606+Cyberspace experienced as bricolage, or managed as a good stream according to Berry, due to impossibility of comprehending its schematism of perceptibility (Kittler). (221)5.1.1
