Crapped Out

And none of these numbers include editing, book covers, or marketing.

With the first quarter of 2022 now behind us, I felt it neccsary to give y’all an update on my 20BooksVegas plans. Here’s what’s on the menu: K. McCoy’s projected 20BooksVegas plans, lol Welp, can’t say I didn’t try. The estimated cost of this trip is simply too rich for my aching and poor bones. So, I’m going to get a virtual ticket and watch the videos of classes that I really wanted to sit…

I'm a Publisher

I’m a Publisher

Well I did it, I’m officially a publisher. I wanted to publish a paperback version of my latest creation called “Two Decades of Digital Photography”. I have ebooks uploaded to Kindle and Lulu which is easy because they don’t require an ISBN. However print versions do require an ISBN and if you get one the easy way through Amazon or Lulu you aren’t the publisher, they are. And that means they have…

This numinous present will lead us to the question of money. As Michel Serres (1982) has noted, money is the degree zero of information. It circulates in an ever more ideal space and time (we have gone from gold to silver to base metals to paper to digits) and is exchanged, duly laundered, as something that is without history. Money is the ultimate token of emergence. Within this metaphorical economy, time as the money of science is constituted of both the mnemonic deep and the numinous present. The time that scientists create has three main features. First is the time of the experiment/field study itself. Scientists play with much longer time scales than most of us (going back billions of years); with much shorter time scales (down to divisions of the nanosecond, to quantum units of time); and with time series and cycles of great complexity—registering, for example, patterns in time series analyses of proxy measures for past climate (tree rings, peat mosses, fossil seeds, astronomical cycles ranging over tens of thousands of years up to millions of years). Agreements about time and timing are fundamental to all science, so a good time standard operates as a gold standard. Second is the time of the scientific enterprise. Much writing in science is historical—opening a scientific paper with an account of the recent relevant history of one’s subdiscipline; continuing with what happened in a particular day at a given laboratory. Particular constellations of historiographical stances that are shared among sets of disciplines, or between practitioners of a given discipline. Finally, there is the ultimate product—the law of nature. All contingency has been removed from the law of nature—it is true over all time and in any place. In the same way, we will see, our globalizing ethnos is without a past and apparent everywhere. The common time that the Landlord refers to [in Thomas Pynchon's Mason & Dixon] is used to create a universe in which the constructed fact is eternally true. In this sense, the past that scientists create can be read as an eternal present.

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

Some might call me a snowbird; I prefer the term “seasonal.” My mom was the snowbird. I grew up, carried out my career and raised a family in Iowa. When I retired a while back, I became a Florida resident, although I return to Iowa for summers. I’m a wife, mother and grandmother. I trained to be an instructor…
