Blanca HF

David, I met Blanca in D'Volada today. She is studying Chinese calligraphy I think. And I saw another student of yours drawing in the Parque outside the hotel. He was using coloured pens or pencils, I think. I didn't talk to him, but by the looks of it they are both playing with your ideas about fast and slow areas in images, but they are smoothing the differences quite beautifully. What I mean is they are using a much more gradual transition between fast and slow areas, so their fast areas spread out slower and slower and kind of blend gradually into the slow areas. It made me think of the ideas I had about hard discontinuous boundaries and softer ones. Like the difference between an open microphone and one with a wind muffler. See David Lynch Theatre - Painting and David Lynch Painting.

Blanca is hoping to go on a six month exchange to Westminster in a couple of years time. We're going to speak English together so she can practice speaking with a British accent.

See David Lynch on Digital Representation and Lithography - If You Can Think You Can Find A Way To Do It.

Blanca let me photograph a piece of work of hers that I'm going to call "lobsters" ...

She has an InstaGram page:

She was having coffee the other day when I mentioned Gimme Somma That in my comment on your weather report.

I had a very vivid dream about meeting you last night. You seemed kinda drunk. I hope that's all it was. But then I went off over some rooftops with a woman, and you and I kind of lost touch! This is true, I'm not making it up. Maybe it happened long ago, in 1990. I hope so.

Have a great day.

I recorded this last night just after I listened to Pink Floyd - Keep Talking whilst smoking a cigarette on the balcony outside.

And I made this last week, ...

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory Illinois. Did
