Ebooks talk has a hidden posthumanist
rant in it
08/01/2004 08:00 AMThis is pretty funny -- kaksoisagentti took my
ebooks
talk and replaced "book" with "human," "ebook" with "posthuman"
and "paper" with "flesh." The results are surprisingly cogent:
2. Posthumans complement flesh humans. Having an posthuman is good.
Having a flesh human is good. Having both is even better. One reader
wrote to me and said that he read half my first novel from the bound
human, and printed the other half on scrap-flesh to read at the beach.
Students write to me to say that it's easier to do their term fleshs
if they can copy and paste their quotations into their
word-processors. Baen readers use the electronic editions of their
favorite series to build concordances of characters, places and
events.

The Los Angeles Times goes multimedia
The Los Angeles Times goes multimedia
03/21/2003 12:14 AM The Los Angeles Times goes
multimedia. For the past few weeks, the LA Times has begun a
significant push into offering video, audio, and interactive Flash on
their website. One of the most interesting aspects is that the paper
has moved one step beyond simply replaying AP Television clips as many
sites have done; the LA Times writers are stand before the cameras and
microphones themselves and report stories in a stuttering,
non-hairsprayed, introverted demeanor that I find very refreshing,
though so far I have gleaned very little additional information from
it. When does (or can) this mode of journalism on the web rise above
gimmickry or 'just because we can' and add value to a written article?
Can video/tv news rise above mere spectacle?
