I went for a walk last Sunday in Trump's Riverside Park South, which you can read about as part of New York City's description of regular old Riverside Park, but not on its own extremely uninformative website.

It was grey, dreary, and cold, but I love a good walk, especially when I'm seeing something new and eminently photographable like this amazing, rusty collapsed pier.

"…only those who could disappear "modestly" could really witness with authority rather than gawk curiously."—Donna Haraway, Modest_Witness@Second_Millennium.FemaleMan©_Meets_OncoMouse™

Which, of course, just goes to explain the popularity of T-H-E Gawker.

This is one of the few sentences in Haraway's book that I find even remotely intelligible. I don't know if it's me or the book—at the very least this is some darned dated technoscience reading (1997) that I'm doing for my grad class this semester, and I just don't feel so great about that.

And even if I take the book for its historical value, I really can't see why an author who touts her obsession with syntax and repeatedly points out that the title of her book is an email address wouldn't at least investigate the implications of creating an email address with completely invalid syntax.
