I’m trying to make sense of the working life that I have lived!

This web based exercise book is my way of collecting materials and writings that will help me weave the threads together into a piece of writing (known as an academic thesis) that will ineviably become reduced a linear thread.

I start with this quote from the last book in the series The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I do it partly to irritate serious academicians and partly as a marker to myself so as not to loose sight of my ambition; to strengthen an argument around the need to revise the ontology and epistemology that currently steers most thinking about modern media production education.

… any given universe is not actually a thing as such, but is just a way of looking at what is technically known as the WSOGMM, or Whole Sort of General Mish Mash. The Whole Sort of General Mish Mash doesn’t actually exist either, but is just the sum total of all the different ways there would be of looking at it if it did.

The reason they [parallel universes] are not parallel is the same reason that the sea is not parallel. It doesn’t mean anything. You can slice the Whole Sort of General Mish Mash any way you like and you will generally come up with something that someone will call home.

I hope that this page will change many times during my writing work.
