Ah, a new website. Sort of like stretching in a new apartment, only not nearly as expensive, and perhaps not quite as satisfying. As you'll find out if you attempt rudimentary navigation, it is still woefully incomplete, but the content is around, waiting to be put in its propre place. Some area names have remained constant from the old place, others have gone away.

Over the next few days I'll be filling in the music and photo sections and the reading room with some nice contentstuffs, and importing a year and change's worth of entries from the old site into Movable Type.

Remarks on the name: the root noet- refers to thought, or sometimes consciousness. Autonoetic means self-perceiving. Another good word from it is anoetic, which is often used to describe a state of consciousness in which no thought occurs. I chose it partly because of my interest in rare and interesting words, and partly out of a fascination with the question of what makes us conscious, or "conscious" as a good philosopher would say, and self-perceiving, and whether or not we can bequeath these qualities to things like programs or web sites.
