memex

Info

Bush, Vannevar. 1945. “As We May Think”

“Consider a future device … in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility. It is an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory.”

Constantin, Sarah. 2019. “How to Make a Memex”

You get dumber if your thoughts are limited to the bandwidth that you can successfully communicate in a few minutes to arbitrarily many strangers.

The solution is to create a personal memex. A record of your thoughts and associations, which you will only share parts of with others.

(there was also a line by xj9 on one gemini site or another about the importance of building your own memex, which is what sparked this whole endeavor, but i have since lost it…)

which brings us to where we are now: the beautiful and cursed project of putting my own memex together, so that i may more easily utilize the memories i’ve already made. it is doomed to be perpetually under construction, just as my mind should hopefully always be.

the birth of the project and its guiding motivations can be found in identify your replacement, though i’m sure that the aims it lists have shifted since then.

TitleFolderQuote
emacs meowkyoumi⇒ Violets are blue, and I love you.
DJ Melodie – Aura (200X)musicput me in a box late at night, on a boat, in the ‘90s. make me taste city lights, make me taste whatever those parents had at that restaurant in the remake of the parent trap.
DJ Melodie – Falling Stars (2003)musica common blessing, a shortbread cookie.
Dream Sequencer – Places that almost existed (2024)music(unlike the mundane future i’m living in, where i fall asleep to flashing lights connecting me to a global network and the scrape-scrape of eight hard disk platters)
Mikoto the Maid – Hopelessness (2024)musici get the image of the maid as someone who’s on the outside looking in – as someone tasked to clean up the debris of a class to whom they don’t belong.
truly the maid is a tragic figure, then: bound to this world but not a member of this world, with everything about her circumstance reminding her of the distance between them and her.
Steven Halpern – Study & Learning (1985)musicboy you know that if all those new age tapes i listened to actually worked i’d basically be like the dalai lama meets hulk hogan right now.
TAOC TEH WODNER DOG – SONG FOR THE STUPID RAVER SHITHEAD… (2012)musicwould i have really loved her if i knew more than her transness?: her sweet, dead transness that makes her absence regrettable? or would i have found some petty reason to wish death upon her, like i have with so many others?
Akiko Kiyama – 7 Years (2008)musicand they will know me as someone obsessed with the act of reproduction and its various simulacra.
athazagoraphobianetaif something’s happened, it’ll never happen again. it’s lost forever, never will i experience it again.
DREAM DOLPHIN – atmospheric healing (1996)musici feel as if these artists are tampering with important and precious meanings, though i also have no way of actually knowing whether or not they are.
Final Fantasy X (2001)gameTo the Condemned
good discord server names (talktotransformer)netaPinkie Pie stay da way ya do ho
Kaze no Naka no Shoujo: Kinpatsu no Jeanie (1992)seriesi feel like at some point this show became less about showing good morals and more about how the innocent get crushed by people who think they are good people.
on inspirationnetaSee note.
pLumsonic! – Atomic-girl (2010)musicmy goal is to be someone who listens to the most electrifying jpop, i think. my happiness should arrive in time, i think.
i want to listen to the most electrifying jpop. i want to watch the most electrifying jav. i want to plug my finger into a socket and harness the energy – redirect the energy – control the energy.
Serial Experiments Lain (1998)seriesmy first experience with the internet was during the 56k days. we soon moved and our new isp had a download accelerator that bumped speeds up to 70–80k. my current isp offers me 300,000k, though unless i buy a new modem i’m stuck at only around 250,000k. shouldn’t i switch? i’m leaving 50k of k on the table! that’s like 900 dialup connections!
but at the same time, i don’t think my internet experience now is a thousandfold improvement over my childhood one. sure the people around me have grown and developed just as i have, but we’ve all just gone from being immature kids to being immature adults. sure the porn is clearer, but the pussies are the same.
Soutaisei Riron – Chiffonism (2008)musicthis is the kessoku band you want, right? they can be found in any livehouse or netlabel if you’re willing to take the time to explore, and then you can make the miracle happen to you! instead of living vicariously through the regurgitation of this miracle. it will be real and it will be authentic and it will be yours to love, just as they will be yours to be loved by… and lord knows they’re looking for love too.
The Field Mice – Skywriting + Singles (2005)musicshe deserves to have someone who loves her fully, wholeheartedly. i know that’s what she wants too, and it breaks my heart to see her come so close to it so many times. but i can’t be that person for her, though i wish i could be, because she deserves to have someone who loves her fully, wholeheartedly.
times of peace, times of warprayerSee note.
Toughluck, trashcan! – magatamatsukiyo 勾​玉​月​夜 (2003)musicthis is fuzzy and it makes me want to stay here, in your empty room, no light but that of the space heater’s amber glow. i’ll tell you about my life if you tell me about yours.
Warui Musuko – Hikikomori (2020)musicwhen you’re outside it feels like there’s a magnet pulling you back into isolation, listlessness, insanity; when you’re at home it feels like there’s a magnet pinning you right where you are.
ハートカクテル Vol.2musicit tastes like a forgotten memory, it smells like the perfume aisle to one for whom the world is new. it walks like the gelatin of legs at rest, it loves like the synopses of romance films.
