Studying Unix for the past month has gotten me in touch with a form of research aesthetic that studying Plato and poetics has not touched, the technical and theory of CS of operatings systems. I've picked up Knuth as well, and am writing C daily since November. This form of deep study has led me to unexpected creative heights. And while I prepare writing a pop feature piece for a UK publication, I balance between the affect of the technical pop science style of writing and literary fiction. This weirdness feels incredibly normal somehow, and it is where I like being. I cannot define however what category of vocation this lifestyle is... for some reason transcendental is on the lips, but why.
