DoubleQuotes consist of two quotes (or images), juxtaposed. They are intended to work in a way that I learned from haiku: as thoughts dropped into the mind-pond, not so much for their own sakes as for their concentric ripples and the interference patterns between them.
DoubleQuotes are a subset of my analytic work using concepts drawn from Herman Hesse's Glass Bead Game and my playable variants, the HipBone Games.
I suppose this will seem a tad idiosyncratic to some of my readers, but there are times when something hits me just right, and reading the Science Daily piece about uranium and tumbleweed this morning was a delightful shock: cue JS Bach exulting in the lowliness of a certain handmaiden.
I'm the designer of the HipBone Games, playable variants on Hermann Hesse's Glass Bead Game. I'm associated with the Center for Millennial Studies at Boston University, and worked as Senior Analyst at The Arlington Institute, a beltway think tank in Virginia, on the social impact of large and surprising changes. Presently I'm focusing on the Middle East and developing a tool for conflict analysis -- and hopefully, eventually, conflict resolution!
