Maybe just shaking hands?



 
































Recently, in showing you a couple of my latest Clerkmanifestoland videos, I referenced all the hugging. There's more hugging here, but we start out with an enthusiastic handshake involving what might be an enthusiastic Munchkin. The hugging only comes in with a surprise special guest at the end. But because this music video clocks in at under a minute long I think it might be better served if it isn't described in detail ahead of time. Perhaps then it's a little too late for that. I guess you'll just have to go in full of knowledge about what you'll be seeing, forcing you to admire the detailed nuance, or, conversely, leaving you notice all the weird artifacts, glitches, and bizarre peculiarities of AI.

Anyway, click on the picture, and your ride begins.

    2. Ah! Got it. Truman Capote. You are thinking of Truman Capote. As far as I could tell, after hundreds of hours of investigation, Truman Capote said some variation on "That's not writing, that's typing." many times about the Beats in general, though he did highlight Kerouac in one of those general statements.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
