 "Twittering Machine" by Paul Klee (1922) |
| This painting (@ NY MoMA) depicts a strange contraption consisting of bird-creatures attached to a wavy-wire attached to a crank. You turn the crank, and the birds make noise ... a prophetic vision of an audio-producing computer. |

 pdx rune The "pdx" moniker started out as my Space Invaders high score initials ("gamer tag"), meaning "peter drescher, his mark". Later, computer systems I worked on in the 80's required three-letter logon IDs, so "pdx" seemed the logical identifier. Later, while in the circus, I designed the "pdx" rune, using straight lines only (as if carved in stone, like Viking, or Tolkien elvish, letters), and used it to stamp my musical equipment and personal property. I continue to use the moniker as my online identifier, and email signature. On 8/2/06, to mark the occasion of my 50th birthday, I tattooed the symbol to my left shoulder. |
