I’ve noticed that the content of a lot of my older posts is missing. WordPress seems to have deleted a lot of the images. I guess I should contact WordPress and find out what is going on. I’d like to not even use WordPress. Does anyone know of a good alternative for a site like mine?
Here’s what the old one looked like. The message is in regular written English on the back.

So, I’m going to try silkscreening my own. Should be fun. Send me a message if you want to pre-order one. Should be $25 or so, maybe more. Be the first one on your block to get one!

By the way, the message is meant sincerely. It is not bullshit. Ids have changed my mind, and my psyche, and indeed for the better. New creations automatically flash into my mind in response to language. I use the images in my thoughts — thoughts I wouldn’t have had before without the id components — at least not with such stability and clarity.
At an early presentation I gave someone asked me if I could represent abstract ideas with ids. I replied, “Yes, better than ordinary language can.”


I show a couple of more ids that belong in the “goal” family, using my time/distance indicator. With “out” and “great” I show how with ids I am more specific and clear about the meanings intended by the words. Being graphic invites and requires you to do that.
The Georgia Guide Stones called for a “living world language”. What I do is certainly living! It is in a sense, and at least has the potential to be, a metalanguage — above and applicable to all languages.

If you can zoom in and see it, the section between the red lines is a transcription of the printed page. Ids are compact!



My ambiguous time/distance indicator works well for “goal” because it can be either in time or space. This is one of those ids that I struggled with for years before I came up with something satisfying. A goal is something in distance or future, sticking up (prominent, erected) and radiating — an attractor.
