	the voynich manuscript When, in 1639, the Prague citizen Georg Baresch wrote to the famous Jesuit scientist Athanasius Kircher that he owned a mysterious book which was written in an unknown script and profusely illustrated with pictures of plants, stars and alchemical secrets, he thought that Kircher would be able to decipher this book for him. He could not have guessed that not only was Kircher unable to do this, but that a long row... Posted by xtop at 10:46 PM \| Comments (7)


	Codex Seraphinianus "It is the Codex Seraphinianus, perpetrated by Luigi Serafini in 1981 and since published in a number of different countries. I cannot say "translated into a number of different languages" since the text is written in a wholly imaginary language, which must remain untranslatable. Imaginary as well is the world depicted in the lavish illustrations not just the cities, dress, and customs of beings which are themselves bizarre variations on the... Posted by xtop at 01:20 PM


	N+7 excerpt from THE OULIPO COMPENDIUM: A notorious procedure invented by Jean Lescure that (in Queneau's terse definition) "consists in replacing each noun (N) with the seventh following it in a dictionary." Choose a text and a dictionary. Identify the nouns in the text and replace each one by counting seven nouns beyond it in the dictionary. Using The Living Language Common Usage Dictionary: English-Russian, the opening of the book of Genesis becomes:... Posted by xtop at 01:02 PM \| Comments (4)

	death of potential From Pitchfork. I'm honestly stunned dumb and much sadder than I thought I'd be over a dumb little band I liked: At approximately six in the morning yesterday, Matthew "Matt Lock" Fitzgerald, Adam "Baby" Cox, and Jeremy "Kid Killer" Gage of the Pacific Northwest pop band The Exploding Hearts were killed when their van flipped over near Eugene, Oregon. The band was on their way home to Portland after a performance at... Posted by xtop at 05:15 PM

	this was the week that was: 7.20.03 Weekends are a wash. Spending the weekday struggling to go to bed at a reasonable time and get up with a slim enough window to get clean and get to work somehow warps my life ethic when it comes to weekends. Despite the urge to sleep in, I keep waking up at 7, 8 wide awake when I all I really want is to destroy this lack I've built up for... Posted by xtop at 09:31 AM \| Comments (7)

	psychogeography "Psychogeography is the study of the effects of geographical settings, consciously managed or not, acting directly on the mood and behaviour of the individual". Psychogeography research is carried through non-scientific methods such as the derive, aimless drifting through the city, trying to record the emotions given by a particular place; and mental mapping, the production of mood-based maps. Psychogeography was developed as a critique of urbanism by the Lettrist International and then... Posted by xtop at 12:10 AM

	fortress of solitude Jonathan Lethem's forthcoming masterpiece (no, really) is being pushed by Random House as their big, important book of the high stakes fall season. With good reason. It somehow straddles youth and old age, nostalgia and disgust, punk and soul, comics and super powers, friendships and families, crippling minutae and massive strokes. All in a tight package just over 600 pages. It's about things, actual things, and radiates a sense of importance that,... Posted by xtop at 04:35 PM
