		<description><![CDATA[There seem to be two main uses of the term sustainability: environmental and financial. Since I am a touch of an idealist I think of sustainability in a broad scope. For something to be sustainable it has to be sustainable forever (or at least for the foreseeable future). Environmental sustainability should be reserved for practises [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I over heard some designers on the bus last night talking about having to create 70 designs for the same layout and how much of a pain it was. It reminded me of this idea I had back when I worked on a commercial design project, which was to have image files have a similar [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following was inspired by an interview on CBC Radio&#8217;s Spark with Marjorie Perloff. When you write poetry you&#8217;re using words you did not invent (though you could) to convey some idea. Likely you also use phrases and sentence structures you did not invent. Further, you may be be using allegory and referring to stories [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If the universe started in a big bang, and the initial singularity had infinite density, then why are there clumps (planets, galaxies, stars, etc.) in the universe? Don&#8217;t clumps require a nonuniform distribution? Are infinite density and nonuniform distribution mutually exclusive?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seems to me &#8220;three dimensions&#8221; is simply a mathematical notion, defined as three directions which are separated by 90 degree angles. The 90 degrees mean that these dimensions are independent and that one can vary without effecting the others. This strikes me as a cultural construction, not an insight into reality. Why? Because there are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My reply to Marius&#8217;s response: A. I hope my discussion of a continuum between conceptual and formal was not missed. I do think there is a continuity of practise, and that it&#8217;s perhaps more a question of emphasis on form or content than anything. Most work would fall somewhere between the extreme poles. How is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At ISEA 2011 one of the fathers of generative art (or algorithmic art, or system art) Roman Verostko delivered a keynote. I have not strictly considered my work in relation to generative art until recently.During questions, I asked Roman what informs the choices of what algorithms he uses. He answered that his work is considered [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been quite interested in notions of free will. Rather, I&#8217;m more interested in the degree to which choices are made as a result of external factors or internal factors, the latter of which are reducible to external factors in a deterministic, and materialist, world. There seem to be only two options: 1. All actions [...]]]></description>
