Karen: Just starting to read your project deal. Thought it was called 3Jane?
Karen: What does PM stand for?
me: PM stands for Purge Media, openly
me: secretly, it stands for Panther Moderns
Karen: Huh! Like modern day Black Panthers?
me: nope, it's an obscure reference to a concept in the book Neuromancer
me: about a group of technofetishist anarchists who screw with a major media consortium
me: but that's only the secret meaning to be given out to trustworthy accomplices in order to provide a sense of power
me: like the Freemasons
Karen: So do you have a secret handshake?
me: I've got a lot of angles here
me: not yet
me: but we'll have a symbol with hidden meanings, just like the project title has hidden meanings
Karen: Who all knows all the secrets? I assume John Ruiz is creating your symbol?
me: probably, haven't gotten to that yet
Karen: But who all is involved in the secrets?
me: myself, Mirna, Andrew, you
Karen: Well, I feel distinctly honored.
me: very well
me: going to send out excerpts to those two folks, send out some more queries, and try to finish this announcement article - then contact Wired about selling it to them instead of going to Huffington Post/T/S
me: they'll be interested in something along these lines
Karen: Yes, Wired is a good audience for this.
Karen: FYI, I'm renewing your barrettbrown.com domain name today -- it's being transferred to GoDaddy, will send you the info as soon as I get it confirmed so you can do with it what you will.
me: very well, thanks, I'll see about getting Stein to set something up on it
