I've finally taken the plunge into Drupal on the label/company page. I haven't had much need for a main company URL or site, so I'm going to use it as a 'social media' (is there such thing as an 'antisocial' medium?) sandbox - essentially an experiment in multiple feed aggregation ...

I made it through the holiday season without acquiring any new gadgets. I slept on it a number of times and realized that USB tape decks are for people who love the cassette medium. I'm not making that sort of emotional commitment here - this is about extending the life ...

The image above depicts the "A List": tapes that are clearly labelled and known to have original music on them. There are 100 more on the "B List", which are mislabelled but suspected to contain original works (e.g., they were recorded atop prior recordings on the blank tapes, but never ...

Hey. I'm digging my head out from under a tense, transitional semester of research, teaching and baby-raising. I'm working directly in mobile media now, in a new job at Mobile Muse 3 (so expect more posts in this sorter space as we go). On that note, you can see a ...

This update is running quite late, but is still valuable, I think, in attempting to sustain the dialogue which was unfortunately given too short an interval at our panel on Music and Sound at the AOIR conference last week. As well, I particularly need to move among the "diaspora" of ...

I presented at AOIR today as part of a panel on Music and Sound. Here's the PDF of my talk, complete with notes.
I did this with an extreme headache, and a growing sense that I need to, as my friend and colleague Flo articulated it the other day, "coccoon" myself ...

I'm back from Montréal, having had a good but curt time in la belle province. 4S (image of the plenary at R, more available here) was, to be honest, hit and miss; some panels were dull as television, and some others were painful to watch due to speaker-unpreparedness. Sometimes I ...

I'm blogging this from the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) conference in Montréal. We (Roy Bendor, Jack Post, Peter-Paul Verbeek and I) just completed our panel on Bruno Latour ("Translating Latour") and I'm now in a very interesting panel about "Problematizing Technological Appropriation". My first impression is that ...

25 minutes early, my Radiohead download activation code is emailed to me. Ten years ago, I bought my first Radiohead CD (OK Computer).
OK Computer comprised a significant portion of the soundtrack for a prolonged and significant breakup I was going through at the time, one ending a 7 year relationship ...
