In Response to Matthew Flansburg

Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.

Greetings Matthew,

In the past week or so, initiated by hardware catastrophe, and freed by memory and loss, I have been driven through the night to organize, ponder and posit what technology affords (in the psychological sense). Excitement, thinking about various approaches to the hypermodern.net project, is stoked by your email.

I am back on the Thomas Edison/Leonardo DiVinci sleep schedule (more on this in the following posts) and I am in a position of “Hyper-Focus” (see the work of Thom Hartmann)I had marked your message to respond, and I apologize for being so vague at this juncture, I am in the process of writing the considered result that has been requested. I will post it as soon as it’s finished, and also forward it to you personally.

I have not yet had the opportunity to peruse the document you are producing, and I look forward to that endeavor tonight when I finish my commitments for the day.

Thank you again for taking the time to make these comments, and you have my word that I will do the same.

Best wishes,
Pete Ippel
