Capitalism and Schizophrenia
Capitalism and Schizophrenia is a two-volume theoretical work by the French authors Deleuze and Guattari. Its two volumes, published eight years apart, are Anti-Œdipus and A Thousand Plateaus.
Translators note from A Thousand Plateaus:
“This is a book that speaks of many things, of ticks and quilts and fuzzy sub- sets and noology and political economy. It is difficult to know how to approach it. What do you do with a book that dedicates an entire chapter to music and animal behavior—and then claims that it isn’t a chapter?”

Stung Eye is born again. This is version 3, a lifestream.
This site is now continually (and automatically) generated as I interact with various web services.
- To share a link I tag it in my del.icio.us linkstream.
- To share a photo I tag it in my flickr photostream.
- To post a blog entry I use Tumblr.
- Comments are handled by Disqus which in turn provides a commentstream.
I feel so… aggregated.
The site runs on a custom platform that uses CodeIgniter and the Tumblr API. The code is based on a pre-release version of SweetCron. Currently the theme is a slightly tweaked version of the default Tumblr theme. This will change with time.
Various flavours of RSS feeds are available:
The version 2 Stung Eye Archives are still available. I have plans to integrate much of the old non-blog content (sounds, design, programs, words).
If you find any bugs, please let me know. Thank you kindly.
