My initial goal for this site was to present a quantity of spoken material (with accompanying text, of course). A dearth of decent recording equipment prevented me from immediately realizing my very special plan for this site (I’ll be talking of “special plans” for a while now – thanks, Ligotti) though I did seek out [...]
I just had the opportunity to listen to some of the spoken word pieces hosted here and I am (ashamed? mortified? recalcitrant?) … horrified to admit that I encoded them incorrectly. Internet Explorer may yield double-time Chipmunks’ renditions. Suffice it to say that the issue has been corrected (for now, at least). Let me know [...]
Rarely does an episode of insomnia have so many ties to past efforts as this one – let’s review: A Chronology of Insomniac Work [Unknown circa 2002] – Scrawled ramblings which contributed to later efforts [Unknown circa 2004] – Wrote Operator Speaking: Locked Trace Assume Lethal (itself composed of many nights’ work – did not [...]

I will be dead for the next three days.

Visit NondescriptCitizens.com to download “Community Agenda” in its entirety or check out The Proletariat Dream for the only pre-Operator Speaking spoken word which I recall performing (taped telephone calls should not count).
Gavin Gibbons, apparently a representative of the National Fisheries Institute, happened upon my blog. I can’t imagine what he would be interested in, aside from adding his comments to my Toxic Fish is Big Business post. Apparently he was in a hurry and could not be bothered to read the post (if he had, he [...]
For I am The Operator, your Operator, a kind Operator, a spiteful and a jealous Operator… … an Operator who is not a cheesy web search directory, nor another cheesy web search directory, nor a redirect to an incomplete biking, hiking, and geocaching resource.
