Here you are.
- La Lune de Miel on Chine
I’ve been posting sparsely while home in Boulder for the holidays. Once the reorganizing, prioritizing, and atoning is done, Carrotrope.com will be a better reflection of my interests. If you care about the music in language, fashion and design, you should read this blog.
To keep things tidy and whole for myself, I’ve imported some of my poetry from an old, unseen site. I’d love to get some diplomatic but honest feedback (ok, I yearn for it). Go to Poems for poems written by me. Poetry includes my poems, musings on poetry and language, and poems I love of others. Expect songs by me and myfriends, as I pull myself together.
Otherwise, I’ll continue to post on fabric, fashion, and design as Molly, her brother and I (a.k.a. Adapt Apparel) ramp up sales. Designs that go on shirts and skirts and posters will all make appearances here.
I’ll continue to post on economics, business, branding, and “responsible capitalism” as I continue to work for Interra and attend BGI.
I’ll continue to share songs that I find meaningful (like today’s, a catchy-as-hell recent creation by my friend Sam Cooper, called “La Lune de Miel on Chine”).
- Bodily Art
Great, unsettling works by Eric Bostrom, Shawn Eisenach and others at cheese is sliced.
This one wins the “What is a carrot rope?” award:

- “Blog as Metaphor for Film” as Film Review
Someday, when I’ve reached the limits of traditional blogging, I will compose a post riddled with, if not entirely composed of, links. It will inspire dread.

I will call it “Logic of Hyperlinks,” from a Slate article on David Lynch’s 2006 movie, Inland Empire
And not only does Inland Empire often look like it belongs on the Internet, it also progresses with the darting, associative logic of hyperlinks… a labyrinth of wormholes and worlds within worlds.
Like Inland Empire, “Logic of Hyperlinks” will make only disjointed sense, and it will be a masterpiece. Some visitors to carrotrope.com will stop reading after the first two paragraphs.

- onset of chaos / edge of chaos
School has begun.
Projects are unfolding, vertically integrating, and squeezing novelty out of magic. My notes from the residency are cryptic:
• Idea for a business: Too much change in too short a time
• Idea for a business: Magnificat
• Idea for a business: Recycled conduit metaphors.
• Idea for a business: Value = limits on boundlessness. That is, choices become easy or disappear.
• Idea for a business: 1) Agitate the images. 2) Shaken awake from the restless sleep of images. 3) Decisive variation, novelty, values.
• Essay idea: “Why art and business must consume each other.”• Trust the shape changer (written on a large work in pastels)
• Bona fide (”in good faith”) activist-in-residence Bill Grace: “You can either look good, or learn publicly.” “Form a relationship with someone suffering because of the way things are.”I will need clients and contracts soon.
