4. Stochastic Processes. Not a clue.
5. Put several of you interests together, and it equals "pub crawls," but that's not on there.
Stochastic processes and pub crawls
Date: 2004-07-01 11:52 am (UTC)And pub crawls used to be on the list! I can't believe that's not there, myself.

Guerrilla dadaism is a sort of ongoing performance art. Indulging and advancing the absurd in situations where others would not expect it, for example. It's great fun played in teams; I belonged to a cell of guerrilla dadaists in San Francisco called Absolute Boredom. It's sort of like spontaneously creating instant in-jokes; it really keeps other people on their toes when it's done well.

4 - third ways - are you speaking of the German "Neue Mitte", in a generic fashion as it applies to politics? Or something else, perhaps the choices not voiced by someone who presents "their way" and "the alternative", then shows how their way is better, ignoring all of the other alternatives? Something different entirely?

1) steampunk - it has that whole post-modern whatever works, whether its new high-tech or old arcane, with the workings exposed to entice those with a mechanical bent ...
2) kemetic unorthodox rat screw - it really only works with a fair number of people, and I've never been comfortable being thusly exposed to cards, shenanigans, and a fair number of people all at the same time - unless I knew all the people well enough to trust them, I suppose
