I was reminded of Avendon and Baldwin by a Monoskop reference to the book ‘Nothing Personal’. I had this paperback copy because, well, at the time (late sixties) to be up with pop-culture, you had to.
I probably first heard of Charon from Robert Graves “Greek Myths” but ‘paying the ferryman’ is, at least in my generation, a common term. In the back of it all is the love story of stupid Cupid and the silly, mortal Psyche. I made a video.
“There ought to be texts on the subject, authoritative texts that would enable one to deal with these situations, far commoner than is generally believed.”
We need our computer folk heroes, and if they come with an air of danger around them, it restores the feeling that we were on the digital frontier. Another story from MM, for the last print issue June 1995.

I won’t mind.
I rather prefer short critics to long ones. I like critics with tan shoes — look nicer, I think. . .
Wikipedia credits this to Martin M. Broadwell who first articulated the model in his “four stages of teaching” in February 1969.
An attack on “some of the hairiest, scrawniest, and most discontented specimens of all time”. Hang on I said, that was me, I wanted to be Beat, did people really think that?
A quote from Nietzsche’s Human, All Too Human with a , with a hairy portrait, 1974 ish
What did I see? What did I look like as they ‘see’ me? Thinking about photography and the photographer’s eye.
You chose your jobs because they promised to provide you with a steady income and leisure to render the Goddess whom you adore valuable part-time service.
