  • The Secrets of Surveillance Capitalism

    So it is for me and perhaps for you: The bare facts of surveillance capitalism necessarily arouse my indignation because they demean human dignity. The future of this narrative will depend upon the indignant scholars and journalists drawn to this frontier project, indignant elected officials and policy makers who understand that their authority originates in…

  • The question

    The key question isn’t, “what’s the answer?” The key question is, “what’s the question?” http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/140043972/0/sethsblog~Worth-thinking-about.html

  • a tale of some meetings

    I’ve been increasingly involved in meetings. Often these are productive and necessary fare, but sometimes they reach Dilbert-like levels of banality and un-productivity. As I was reading Winnie the Pooh to my kids tonight I was reminded of such a meeting in CHAPTER VII: IN WHICH KANGA AND BABY ROO COME TO THE FOREST, AND…

  • Windows Now Showing Full-Screen Ads | Hacker News

  • How the internet flips elections…

    On the one hand: of course it does. On the other hand: pretty terrifying. So if Google favours one candidate in an election, its impact on undecided voters could easily decide the election’s outcome. Source: How the internet flips elections and alters our thou…

  • some rocks

    This is a quick (and ridiculous!) version of a project I’m working on. The final version will be more subdued, but I couldn’t resist quickly creating an animated gif once the thought entered my mind. Thoughts?  

  • In Rainbows, Radiohead, and Copyright

    This is an aspect of Radiohead’s In Rainbows release I was not familiar with before reading this otherwise uninteresting (to me) article. In retrospect it makes sense that there was a mini-nightmare with respect to releasing this way and that copyright was a barrier. As the U.S. is finally entering discussions to amend copyright law…

  • Aaron “tenderlove” Patterson

    Aaron “tenderlove” Patterson http://usesthis.com/interviews/aaron.patterson/ Firefox has an extremely nice feature that I like for web development: if you hit ‘ (single quote) it will bring up a search box, but the search box only searches through links on the page. Then you can hit enter to navigate to that link. That way I can avoid…

  • starting (again) to use emacs

    C-u M-! date I’ve started using Emacs again. I can’t remember what sent me to the Literate Devops with Emacs video by Howard Abrams, but the idea of running code within Emacs org-mode was enough for me to fire it up and relearn the key combinations. I’ve recently switched to Dvorak as a keyboard layout…

  • Internet Art

    I don’t think I agree with the unsupported conclusion, but the video is interesting and generally well done―and the examples are fun. [kad_youtube url=”https://youtu.be/783hwpJTjlo” ]
