Predicting the Present, First Five Years of Wired
Quotes from the first five years of Wired. Most of them are quite something.
Your Computer Really Is a Part of You
Your Computer Really Is a Part of You
I knew it!
I have nothing to say, really.
Fuck off.

Nic Cage as Everyone
These are my links for January 2nd through January 4th:
- Techsploitation » Blog Archive » A whole lot of Avatar and whiteness – Avatar is a fantasy about ceasing to be white, giving up the old human meatsack to join the blue people, but never losing white privilege. Jake never really knows what it’s like to be a Na’vi because he always has the option to switch back into human mode.
- Welcome to Project52 – Project52 is a personal challenge geared toward getting fresh content on your website. The goal is to write at least 1 new article per week for 1 year. Because we all know what it‘s like to procrastinate on our content. A website is not just a fresh design that can be uploaded to the web and forgotten about!

Hihihi
Jason Kottke hat einen Blogeintrag Just Don’t Look darüber, daß Nervensägen in den Medien weggehen, wenn man sie nicht beachtet. Und die Nervensäge, die den Post wohl veranlasst hat, wird rechts in seiner Sidebar sehr groß im Buzzfeed-Widget beworben.
Instapaper-Aufräumen II

I’m so cool that even when I’m sweating, it’s a cold sweat.

Wired Magazine cover CD
The November 2004 issue of WIRED magazine comes with a CD of music by major artists. All of the songs are available under a Creative Commons license, and are freely distributable.
Using a BitTorrent-client like for example BitTornado, the CD is downloaded in a breeze and is very enjoyable to listen to – especially since it is a wide variety of musical styles and until now (I listened through around half the songs) there was none that I wouldn’t listen to a second time.
