Digital emigre, researcher standing at the intersection of arts, tech, and pop culture. Got the PhD studying Innovation and the Arts, talk about it sometimes on the Implausipod podcast. Blog over at implausi.blog. I'm consistently me other places too.
Finally! Managed to record a new episode of the podcast and get it released. "Streets Ahead" is about our fascination with self-driving vehicles in the 20th century, and how that's led to now. Check it out at select podcast apps, or at the following link: www.implausipod.com/1935232/epis...

Caught Tron:Ares last night, and found it to be a fun flick with amazing visuals, killer soundtrack, and a hopeful take on crossing the digital-material divide. Less dystopian that the Matrix movies. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, though the IFC disagrees.

Goddammit. Every major ideological or philosophical concern of our present horrifying age leads back to Karl Popper, doesn't it?
This is my roundabout way of suggesting that you read THE OPEN SOCIETY AND ITS ENEMIES very carefully. It's amazing to watch him hit Plato, Marx, and Hegel so hard.

Gonna start referring to productivity software like people talk about video games.

I got out again this last weekend
Far enough away that there was no cell service, no internet
Far enough away that the smartphone might as well just stay locked in the glove compartment
Because it had no use aside from being a backup egg timer or flashlight
And it was good
