Hello world!
So, it has finally happened. I’ve resisted the Urge to WordPress for over 5 years, and now here I am. It’s been a long time coming, really. We’ll see if we can’t have some fun.
General themes you’re likely to see on this blog:
- Research entries on new media practices.
- Howto articles on overcoming hurdles. The tradition of the open source community to spread that stuff around will be fully embraced here. (Probable tags: gnu, ruby, waves, archlinux, git, xmonad, gimp, wordpress, vista x64, .. )
- Film/music/performance/art/conference/etc reviews. Looking forward to some new media events in Europe this year, both as part of my graduate courses at UvA and through the underground here in the streets of Amsterdam.
- Pages for things like media, papers, software, exterior project links, etc.
- Prose describing personal experiences of possible potential interest to family, friends, and other cybxr agx organisms.
And of course all sorts of other bits of fun and unexpected awesome.
This will be fun to follow.
Where did the links to articles come from?
That’s my del.icio.us plugin. Of course I’ve been going back and forth between engaging with Yahoo’s commercial social bookmarking service, but it’s too easy at the moment to just take advantage of it.
There’s quite a few others out there, but since del.icio.us is where I learned about software studies, I guess it makes sense to rep it for the time being.
