Playing For Keeps

Nation/States as Pawns. Private  game. Who is playing. Not so anoymous as they were. But there is, of course, deep deception as part of the mix. Great story in the making. Like CITIZENFOUR.

Sony Pictures marketing?

---

Private organization(s) operating surreptitiously 'under' the front of government. Think Evergreen, Blackwater, Booz, Raytheon, SAIC etc. Most have a presence in DC. Though they are known in the public record, many of their deep secrets are not. Think: "The Company" - John Erlichman.

Teaser “Prototype"

Not a trailer, a teaser? Working Title: Good Sister.

Opened Final Cut. Have not been using it recently. I need to get up to speed again.

...

Later ... I am using it a lot more as you can see with the search: "TheStrokeProject".

Very early in the producer part of the "whole picture" process. Feeling good about it. Working Title: Stupid.

A lot more to learn. Further, I am ancient.

What could go wrong?

Inside My Head

Testing iMovie record on the MacBook Pro for my continuing conversation with sister Jude on neuroscience and my stroke. I will let it run while we talk with FaceTime on our iMacs - she in Seattle, yours truly from the Hibbard studio in Portland.

Sunday, the 20th of December, video chat scheduled at 1:00. Downloaded the full version of Call Recorder for FaceTime.  Tried it by calling Brad yesterday.

Frame from the interview clip:

Neuroscientist term: Na Nu Na Nu (Jude said so).

Generally speaking, perspective (the visual kind) requires light. Things observed are more probable when the relevant view is well lit.

Verifiable facts are not in question until they change. One has to be aware of the change.

A Bayes like inference mechanism is how the induction of prediction works in cognition.

Wavelength

Harmonic relationship is but one code of many. Just above the baseband are a myriad of 'fundamental' wavelengths providing subtle insight to posterior change at the lowest frequencies.

On Not To Dream - Bayes

Editing film on super 8. Tools were primitive by today’s standards. So the 'universe" of possibilities contain both.

TV revolution in education. Not so much as smarter interactive internet now.

The network effects of life are beyond what can be achieved human artifacts to date. Experience is not current.

Trained experience in gaining knowledge is a key component. Or so I "dreamed" the night before. Subsystems vying for waking attention in daly awakening, methinks.

Machine Assist-Common Man

Appearing here a year and a half ago was my wondering about the so-called “deep state” connecting to the Snowden data.

http://buzzthehill.blogspot.com/2013/06/rest-of-story.html

After watching Portras's film, Citizenfour, the other faces (besides Snowden) are becoming clearer even though there seems to be a strong effort to suppress them.

The 'Person traces' become the focus to lead back towards inception. When they reach a threshold of coherence, the story becomes more real. Those stories are the glue that will hold Us (pronoun) together.

Levels of Indirection

Several years ago, I wrote more indirectly than not. Now, not so much. A reader’s guided-imagination needed to be more robust to glean meaning from what has been written here.

The attempt to merge one set of them or more seems to this mind's I a useful thing to do.

Same Old Song

I remember writing about this before here. There is more. Recall the firelight and smiling face in it. Dream from my childhood.

I guess it is called arrangement. The singer/songwriter, in this case, wrote the lyrics and melody but the later 1976 arrangement played with the Band in the series moved me.

As so it has been on poems of the musical kind. Especially so with the artist who wrote Forever Young.

Brain Incident

http://www.ted.com/talks/allan_jones_a_map_of_the_brain

A discussion with an expert about what happened to me, especially over the last year and quarter. That person is my sister. She is a neuroscience nurse practitioner working the VA in Seattle.

I suffered a stroke on August 1st, 2013. I am happy to report a lot of recovery. Some aspects of  my brain functioning are better than before my stroke. Others, not so much.

We worked on trying to get out first video chat session on Veteran's day. Ended up using FaceTime. It was easier than the Google option,

Dream was about it. Crypotgraphy, new application. Applauded by folks outside the window. It was for the team on the inside.

Movie/Screenplay

Split screen with Buck Henry’s screenplay on left and the finished film on the right. Watching short segments while comparing them to the screenplay.

The minutiae of the movie reveals itself. J-cuts between scenes makes the story flow. Transparent because the audience is enaged. But "under the hood', great artistry.

Educated but not experienced, they were. "The same as it ever was." 1967. Portland before it became Portlandia.

Bohr, Einstein

“There is a history and, quite apart from it, a logical process leading to the same outcome. They coincide in our perception at the end point, but the processes are not the same. History is reality manifest. Logic can lead to the same observable conclusion but it is imaginary and therefore more generic.”

As the EPR paradox demonstrates, OUR reality is incomplete without the unknowable future?

Yours truly,

A certain high-performance public-domain biometric would be ideal.

As we have attempted to show is previous posts, it is not sufficient for personal identification to benefit traditional organization entities.

As a  Person, your legitimate needs come first. The person network is designed to facilitate that.

Through Another’s Eyes

Desert is rainy, dusty, hot, cold. City - lonely, impersonal and temporary.

So said he. But he told more as I showed him his pictures this morning.

Did he say it was a slug? Like no other I've seen or heard about. As he described it, some perspective came alive in my imagination.

A mechanism of story, I am pretty sure. Over real time, a sequence of steps describes events that tells something compelling to the audience.

Interesting Times

“One could say physics interrupted. Of course, there is a lot more to the story.”

"Something was big on my mind, yesterday. Then this thing happens right before I hear about my test results - seemingly unrelated. XRays show an apparent fracture of my left kneecap.

Arguably the Monster that was to eat me slowly was a bigger deal, but the two together? Somehow some kind of peculiar funny."

Niche Market

3d print control panels and the like. Lets see if this is plausible.

My favorite for decades was broadcast control rooms. It was because I built one from scratch with the co-founder of KOOL radio in 1960 when I was in eighth grade.

A trusted friend and a true professional knocked Final Cut Pro because Apple changed the user interface so much. A good physical control arrangement would help a lot.

“... head start on most of the folks doing that.” Been studying for a long period of time.

Pushing relevant data based on my dynamic behavioral profile. It is what some of the newer net platforms do for prepared individuals.

Decoding the Archive

Two domains with shared meaning. In this case, one has more of a history than the other. How they relate is of my interest.

Curious

“Is it treason if a one percent of the one percent person does it?”

A better description of our form of government, this would not be a valid question. One adult person - one vote. Well informed people would favor the practical application of 'citizen augmented'.

Many are working toward this goal. FunctionOfUs in one instance of a class to enable individual empowerment through a collective means.

This place is a great arena for prototyping and testing first modules and then progressing versions of finished systems.

Gone Before, Not.

I am quite sure no sentient being has ventured there before. What I know of the place and a reasonable sample of aware folks gives me the strong impression the it is not a waist of time to lead an expedition there.

It is important not to forget shooting B-Roll footage.

Primary Story Arc

Was subject, now an object - things such as a perspective of the latest Burning Man, Ferguson View or Piece through Music. All involve one or more identities of the personal kind propagated over time. One person, one identity. Quantity of personal identities =  true population. Subset, something in between.

Camara Shooting

Note: the starting of “dailies” is about to happen, viewing of recent raw footage on a regular basis (like daily).

Large art and a truly unique venue has the promise of showing human creativity in sharp relief. It is too late to apply a technique I just learned today in the upcoming shoot. But aided visualization is certainly possible following the acquisition of raw footage and
viewing it in Final Cut.

Meta-change

MEMS sensors and software for wearables. State-of-art learning and/or education in this coming field?

http://www.novocamera.com/index.php/lenses

Change is life. And beyond that? Something better, perhaps. Yes, there are optics and cameras (think GoPro). But wait!  Think of the possibilities inherent in wearable things made possible by our latest technologies.

Two component manufactures come to mind, ST Microelectronics and Texas Instruments. There are others, of course. But this is just the sensor piece. The software to make them useful is important too.

Nordic makes the wireless short hall parts. The internet of things, like wearables, more useful as a result.

Ideas for Hibbard studio, the suggestive web hints Ito and Neistat. Given how new my exploration is, I am smiling.

"The Hidden Audience" is my name for the phenomenon. How would I differentiate it from an out-of-town live audience? Less travel, of course. But what else?

How to shoot and edit a documentary dialog on an emerging story. The Guardian's interview in Moscow with Snowden on the 17th of this month was instructive in this regard.

The content is compelling and the shoot contained enough footage after post production to enhance its presentation without detracting from the gravity of its declarations.

Person as Hub

Networks over space and depicted on time, from history thru a little beyond now. Anomynous personal identity is the unit by which application to the outside world operates.

Autodidactic …

Nearly 67 years old, I became aware of this word just a few days ago. As a concept, I have been aware of it for a much longer time.

Calling it 'application learning' to describe my reluctance to going to school. Little did I know, how many folks I would have admired had the 'net' become cheap a few decades earlier.

Inexpensive Psychiatrist

I suppose this could be an explosive topic. But here it goes:

First a little background on what formed in my mind on the subject matter ...

So I had tried prescription drugs provided to by my father for feeling 'lost' in my childhood. He was an MD. Not a psychiatrist though.

There is a lot in-between stuff in the 60 or so year story.

The discovery happened slowly at first. About a year ago, the 'lights' almost went out. Then they came on brighter than ever.

Another Lucid Dream?

My version of taking flight, Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingstone Seagull as a Rosetta Stone to bridge Oregon English and Standard Korean.

Dad is Oregon, mom - Korean, daughter bilingual. They live in Portlandia.

Grampa on dad's side was an MD. Took the family to the San Juan's around '56 or so. He grew up in southern Oregon.

Cuckoo's Nest, Ken Kesey - not so far fetched. J. Winters 1959. What were they thinking - behaviorism, shock therapy, thought modulator drugs?

Approaching a year since August First. In my own way, I "crashed". I am still learning from it. Frankly, more than I ever thought possible.

Half Century Wise

I seemed to recall, when I spoke of Livingstone, she said matter-of-factly, “It is so simplistic”. Her upbringing Episcapalian, near Kansas. Same age as me.

“Not really”, I could have said. In was some time ago, 1985. Just realizing five decades hence. Perhaps in a different context though.
