The Internet of Living Things
As an active participant in the Information / Communications Technology domain (ICT), this is perhaps one of the most influential videos I have seen in the last several years.

Program or Be Programmed
Douglas Rushkoff drops the word at SXSW conference on programming reality: “We are attempting to operate our society on obsolete code. … Legacy sytems to legacies we don’t even remember. … How much of this is the bias of the medium, and how much is it the biases of the people who program our technology [...]

Join the Plaxo Plexus
I just sent out a massive automated email blast to 100s of people that I’ve interacted with over the years to “connect” on the Plaxo social network site. I can imagine that most people probably don’t know what Plaxo is, so I’m writing up this description to inform people of why they might want to [...]

The Lincoln Code
A secret message was discovered today inscribed on the interior of Lincoln’s historic watch. The message was written by a watchmaker who was making repairs on the President’s watch on the day of the first reported shots of the Civil War.

Here are a few interesting elements [...]

Zeitgeist Movement of Transformation
I watched the Zeitgeist Addendum film last night–and am so enthusiastic about it. I had seen the original Zeitgeist film last year, and so knew generally what to expect–yet this new film went way beyond my expectations, and has had a profound effect on me. This is the most comprehensive and compelling presentation of outlining both the problems [...]

The Over-Language
Words themselves are becoming antiquated. Rarely enough do we even find an arrangement as worthy as these: Today, Homo sapiens is faced with a rapid modification of his environment, a transformation for which he is the involuntary collective agent. I am not implying that our species is threatened with extinction or that the “end of [...]
