... just a list.


I'm not opposed to posting a photograph of my desk here, but the latest one I have is from about 25 years ago (originally posted for a previous issue of this column, linked by another, different,  associative thread of thinking). If I ever get around to taking a new photograph and digitizing it, I promise to post it and link to it. In the meantime, a partial list of what's covering the desk, perhaps I should write cluttering it so that it's unclear whether or not there's a real, or perhaps only a virtual, desk underneath, will have to suffice.

Here and there patches of formica show through the clutter, proving that there really is a corporeal, tangible existence to the desk. I've always wondered why the Mac called the main, opening screen of the Finder the Desktop. Was that name supposed to suggest order and organization? They weren't talking about mine.
