Our stupid awesome inevitable Afterlife
Why do I want to write about Kenneth Goldsmith and Sheila Heti and Social Media and The Afterlife? Cause they all add up to this really hot sweaty tangled love story. With a surprise ending. Here, come with me… I’ve been running along this intellectual trail for a few months. It’s got some awesome leaps […]
Thank you, Internet
A couple clips, recommended by my kids, to make you grateful the Internet exists. (h/t Anna) (h/t Molly) (h/t Charlie)
Twitter recommendations
Back in February 2012, when I was still on my prolonged hiatus from this here site, my lovely friend Lisa Parrish posted a list called “Things that are supposedly great that I didn’t like at all.” As a rule, I wasn’t even commenting at that point, but she almost dragged me out of lurker status […]
Thinking about Twitter post-Boston
This isn’t quite the post I promised last week. I’ll get to that one — a list of my favorite Twitter feeds — next time. For now, I can’t stop thinking about the events of last week as a watershed in the history of social media. At every turn, from first-hand accounts of bombings at […]

Ten hours
I recently stumbled across this video: ten hours of Darth Vader’s wheezing. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc1Zc4qsTQk[/youtube] Hypnotic! Weird! Fabulous! But then things got even more hypnotic, weird and fabulous when I discovered that the “ten-hour video” is a bona fide Interwebs phenomenon. People are looping together short clips to make ten hours’ worth of all kinds of ridiculous […]
