must publish blog... I can't compete with the previous post, in either writing ability or creativity. So in an attempt to empower my collaborators, I'm presenting some phrases and sentences which I hope you'll find useful in your own writings. This is inspired somewhat by Glenn Gould's "The Idea of North," and other very deep works by people who aspire to be writers. Enjoy.
