  • Facebookistan the Movie

    Facebook — one of the world’s largest advertising companies — magnanimously acknowledges that in your life on the internet, you’ve probably encountered some bad ads. And you almost certainly have, because online advertising can be obtrusive, creepy, and irritating to say the least. But Facebook thinks that they are so far ahead of the pack… via…

  • Rio 2016 opening ceremony (Live Blogging)

    I’m enjoying the use of the digital video projectors. It makes for a much grander scale and pallette for the choreography. I’m reminded a bit of the whole English creation myth we got to see in the London Ceremony. Everyone gets to act out the history of the world as een through their eyes. (20:26…

  • Seymour Papert has died and leaves a lasting legacy — Computing Education Blog

    We have now lost both Seymour and Marvin Minsky this year. I met Seymour a few times, and heard him speak at several Logo conferences and at Alan Kay’s Apple Hill camps (and even contra danced next to him once!). Probably the most frightening meeting was when, as a PhD student, I sat next to…

  • Looking for @carpetbomberz on Twitter.com? Don’t Bother

  • Kurt Vonnegut Jr-Breakfast of Champions, 1973

    Originally posted on Art in Fiction: And I made an invisible duplicate on my Formica tabletop of a painting by Rabo Karabekian, entitled The Temptation of St. Anthony. My duplicate was a miniature of the real thing, and mine was not in color, but I had captured the picture’s form and the spirit, too. This…

  • Social Media is like a sewer

    Robert Rauschenberg, Erased de Kooning Drawing, 1953 I have without a moment’s hesitation deleted, unliked, cleaned my presence on that Grand Ole Platform known as Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook. Using a free utility somewhat creepily known as Facebook Seppuku (that’s the Japanese word for ritual suicide) and much clicking of Delete/Done, I got rid of all…
