Jonathan Zittrain on The Colbert Report
Last night Jonathan Zittrain made a guest appearance on The Colbert Report to discuss his book The Future of the Internet. Favorite quote: “I’d like to see a way of saving the good chaos of the internet and peeling away the bad chaos that doesn’t just stomp on everything.”
What’s better than blogging? (Or, an excuse for not posting more)
Two months without a post! There have been many better things to do than blog, such as:
- Traveling to hot places
- Palm Springs and Joshua Tree
- Orlando and Ocala, with a stop at Disney World
- Participating in SF absurdity
- Bring Your Own Bigwheel race in Potrero Hill
- Watching dodgeball games
- Checking out the robots and mayhem at Maker Faire
- Just hanging around Potrero
- Shooting portraits of Amy and Liz and climbing trees
- Playing Scrabble, poorly
Ice Cube is a techie!
Mark Trammell interviewed Ice Cube today for the SF music blog Attacked by Jackets and I was there to record the moment. (There are more photos over at linoleumjet.com.)
An excerpt from the interview:
I was writing raps on the laptop at one point in my career, you know, earlier in my career. I think it’s always kinda been there. You know, when we started making music, they had one drum machine. It was an Oberheim DMX and that was it. Once all these different samplers came out, you know, that kinda turned us, somewhat, into techies. We had to go get the new drum machine to help us make better music. So, it just started expanding our minds on technology and what we had to do to make it work.
