Terry Heaton's PoMo Blog   yourself for the 21st century or die! Some would rather die than change." Leonard Sweet, cultural historian. 06/23/2006 Entry: "Out of the mouths of babes"
This got my attention, because it expresses a philosophy I hold dear, that creative concepts already exist in a place available to everybody, and as such, nobody really "owns" the ones that they find. Richard Adams called this "The Unbroken Web," and he used it to explain why the same ancient stories popped up at roughly the same time in various places around the planet. Bill Monroe of bluegrass music fame felt the same way. It's why I never assume that I can sit on my ideas, because somebody else is always touching the unbroken web, or, as Alexa puts it, "Pluto." So I did a little Googling on Alexa Kitchen and discovered that she is the daughter of one Denis Kitchen, counterculture artist and cartoonist extraordinaire and a dear friend of mine from my days in Milwaukee (1970s). Denis and I have reconnected, thanks to Rocketboom and a little clip featuring this budding star. He tells me the New York Times is stopping by next week for an interview. And so it begins.

>> Interesting concept that is also found interwoven into the narrative arc of the Myst series -- particularly the accompanying novels. Conflict occurs over who 'owns' the created worlds and whether myst book writers were creating something out of nothing, or linking to something that aleardy existed. Interesting thread.
