oh my god, I just found my 2004 copy of “Catharsis”

… And yes, it had a terribly emo name that probably came from a moment of blackness… one of many such moments, when you consider I was an asian girl with linebacker shoulders and a bad haircut at a school filled with girls whose life aspirations were to be on “The Hills,” or...

Lately, Urban gardening. →
When I was little, I had a great book about weird plants. Huge, graphic novel-esque illustrations and bizarre descriptions of the sensitive plant (it recoils upon being smacked), passionflower vines (flowers like UFOs) and the loofa plant (I don’t remember what it’s called, but you make loofas from the squash by drying it and shaking out the seeds) fueled my dreams of creating a garden...

[READ UPDATE]
I’ve run pitchfork.tumblr.com for almost a year now. I had several posts up and I followed 28 people with the account. All my posts are now gone and my address has been changed to pitchfork1.tumblr.com. Where my blog once stood now stands the official...

Minds for Sale: talk by Zittrain, 2.22 @5:30 →
I’m looking forward to this event:
“Cloud computing is not just for computing anymore: you can now find as much mindshare as you can afford out in the cloud, too. A new range of projects is making the application of human brainpower as purchasable and fungible as additional server rackspace. What are some of the issues arising as armies of thinkers are recruited by the thousands and...

or, my grand (social) theory of the future of the Internet.
It turns out that bike riding across Cambridge during a cold winter sunset can be very invigorating for the mind.
These past few days, I’ve been thinking a lot about the future of the Internet. What should it look like?
2 main thoughts occurred to me after asking myself about the future of the Internet: 1. Media is the Mother....

The Knife's "Darwinian Opera" →
It’s an “electro-opera” composed by The Knife, commissioned by a Danish performance group (Hotel Pro Forma) and based on Darwin’s Origin of Species. The result is probably about as weird as evolution sounded to the creationists at the Scopes Trial (and the whole fuss was started to get some publicity for the small town of Dayton, TN, according to Wikipedia).
The entire...
