About :: The Wandering Honk
Celebrate impermanence — it’s an emerging world.
This could be the world outside your window, or someone you know but don’t know really, or half-conscious reflections in a room, or what happens when stuff arrives from faraway, or anything that brings intimacy from the vacuum. You might find similar or divergent experiences, evocations of everyday, or the desire that’s in the process of being materialized here.
The Wandering Honk features fixed, overlapping states that converge through affinities across the medium. We explore emergent possibilities in art & culture. You should expect nothing but a conversation across posts, alt-takes and contrasts, perhaps oblique comments on mainstream assumptions and certainties.
The Wandering Honk rejects coercive and dominating mindsets, exploitative and extractive ideologies. We will always favor listening, non-hierarchical strategies, readings that occur on the edge of a converging circumference.
This is world culture not globalization, paradox not conflict, conscious desire not commodity or celebrity celebration. The Wandering Honk aims at opening experiences that engage directly with the prospect of remaining human — often while quietly pursuing the kind of art that grows outside of the spot light.
About :: ScripterNet
Founded in 1999 to publicize a literary gathering at Hunters Point Naval Shipyards in San Francisco, ScripterNet has proceeded in unexpected evolutions from a books promotion site to a consultancy to a project space to an arts portal — now we are fostering a repository of locative works shared in web formats.
ScripterNet has kept pace with developments whilst ze humans have moved through their lives in modes of novelist, coder, digital architect, producer, teacher, and collector of curiosities. All along ScripterNet has kept an eye on the hopes of leaving the world a better place, perhaps with more community and beauty, and greater intimacy for all sentient beings.

Some links we find inspiring on an everyday level:
- The Astrobiology of Adam Frank — this NPR piece is a great introduction to the big science.
- Catuskoti an expanded form of the tetralemma made popular by Nagarjuna somewhere around the 2nd Century.
Beyond the TRUE-FALSE binary, catuṣkoṭi invokes a total of 8 states for logic statements — TRUE, NOT TRUE, BOTH TRUE AND NOT-TRUE, NEITHER TRUE nor NOT-TRUE; then combine those four with their opposites (i.e., NOT NOT-TRUE, etc.) for the full (expanded) analysis. Sounds easy?
- Unicode — is it possible that all written languages can really be encapsulated by a single 16-bit standard? (Okay, some language uses 21 bits.) That only took about 10,000 years.
