Three things that interest me

1. Writing things down. I'm interested in the whole
rigmarole of people writing things down. Using a pencil
or some other implement to make graphic marks on paper
or some other surface for personal reference,
posterity, or to create messages (often complex and
layered) that may be of interest to others. I like to
see the marks, the graphic evidence of a human
existence, the way the pressure has been applied.
2. It may sound a bit obvious but I've become interested again in the way in which - in our most private selves - we are very alone and isolated. I'm interested in this as a source of motivation.
3. Anthropologically, I'm interested in the ways in which the artful and purposeful manipulation of the system of communication known as language can be used to entertain, amuse and thrill the tribe with whom you share this facility. Even to allow the species to ponder the nature and purpose of its shared existence.
