Hard to make a good beginning...

I've been thinking a lot about memes, recently. Hence all this.
Seem to be moving into the thinking thing seriously now, in a career-driven kind of way, so I suppose that's ok. To be thinking at all, I mean. "Good practice". Also nice to be thinking about things that are at least connected, if perhaps not fundamentally integral, to my latest career-move.
But you don't know about that yet. Unless maybe you do. Anyway, we'll let introductions wait.

So yes, lots of thinking. Lots of relevant thinking to boot. More directly relevant to the next few years of my life than my tesseract phase anyway. I'm not sure I could live up to a blog called "TESSERACT". A project for calmer times, perhaps.

Nights like last night always put me in a strange mood. Days like today serve only to amplify it. A day spent entirely and completely alone. Toute seule, as the French would have it, barring a few phone calls. A very nice day too, spent lounging (sleeping) in a hammock, reading this week's New Scientist (which has managed, and not for the first time, to centre around things I have been considering. Nice to know I'm at the cutting edge. Nice to be carrying such up to date memes.) and eating salad for lunch. Hardly scintillating stuff, but pleasant. A sudden and very loud burst of Beethoven's 9th to keep the neighbours on their toes. All good. All, as they say, gravy.

Yeah. So.

I suppose that'll do, for a very tentative opener. No talk of memetics yet. Sorry if you were hoping for some. A few transmitted with the post, though. Hard to avoid, Particularly when delving into the ultimate memeplex, the urspace of the meme; the Internet. This is, afterall, what it was designed to do. All those other memes owe the webmeme a great deal. Meme meme meme.

Don't worry, I'll probably be talking about tesseracts tomorrow.
