Meaningfulness Once Again Rears Its Head
It’s about the middle of the gestation period of the lecture I’m working on, and it’s the middle of the month. I’m behind on some aspects, ahead on others, and figure it all averages out to being just about on schedule. I had thought that this one would go long and turn into a third “Simple Machine Underwater” lecture, but that didn’t turn out to happen. And so my thoughts naturally turn toward the next lecture.
Back to Class
It’s just a couple of weeks short of the six-month anniversary of… well, of my classes going online, and my last haircut, and the last time I went into a grocery store, and a bunch of other things. And today I’m going back into a classroom for the first time since then to teach. But that’s not exactly what I want to talk about.
The Simple Machine deeper underwater?
I hope you got a chance to see August’s Corona Lecture, “The Simple Machine Underwater part I,” which was released last week.
Lecture 4: The Simple Machine Underwater part I
The newest Corona Lecture is live. It’s the first part of a two-parter investigating my experience writing and failing to publish my novel Notes from Underwater.
In Search of an Image
The search for images for this month’s Corona Lecture found me up before dawn to photograph pieces of paper in the Mississippi and out in a rainstorm taking pictures of those same pieces of paper floating down my driveway.

I’ve alluded to this story and also linked to this video before, but with my first blog post I wanted to highlight my debt to William Kentridge for his Six Drawing Lessons.
