I am a former artificial intelligence philosopher. As much as academia is for me a PhD was not. These days I am using my past experience in poetry and AI writing to create concrete poetry.

You can see all of my/the computer's work at http://exampleurl.xyz -
The "quarterly reports" are PDFs of every concrete poem of mine posted online in the three months stated.

I post concrete poems on Masto (and birdsite) every Thursday using the hashtag #concretepoetry in the fediverse.

More fiddlin about in the Luscious Dick Industries labs, learning the relationships of folds and cuts

I tried a new method of generating text placement for poems and it looks like the scrawl technique I had been doing. So I'm working backwards, in a way.

Learning.

[ see the scrawl technique in my chapbook Scrawl published online at The Occulum: https://occulum.net/2017/09/06/scrawl-by-s-cearly/ ]

FYI I got two cross stitching programs for linux today and I couldn't get the first image I wanted to convert to reliably convert.

Fear not, crafters, I shall keep trying.

the website's updated.

I'm always considering the patreon (I use the term as a generic rather than specific platform) as a way to generate some income. However, I also don't know what it generates as a form of reality.

Is seems it is more effort and obligation than I feel it could generate. Do you (who have something along these lines) find this to be the case? Or to be flip, are you working more for your account than it is working for you?

Like most everything else I question, I need to question my own concerns.

another acecptance for publication today.

maybe one day these will turn into money, but acceptance is acceptance.

update: can't find a name for this. weird. maybe if I knew Japanese I would have success.

and I reiterate that success here means that SOMEONE somewhere must have folded this way

current poetry trouble: developing a meaning to fit the format.

I started going through packaging design concepts books and holy moly do I have some ideas for poetry books

I had an idea for a different method of accordion folding float through my head while driving so I am now investigating to see if it has a name.

By that I mean that I assume it does; it's not that complex and humans have been folding and naming things for a long time.

Here in the Luscious Dick Industries Labs we have started learning "paper engineering" (aka "pop-up book design") for possible skunkworks explorations

I got a submission out today, a rather sizeable one. And I discovered three other chapbooks I had created once but never went anywhere.

So I have much more material I can consider for new chaps. A mad rush of creation and re-creation
