OK - daughter's asleep...continuing on with recordings of similar vintage (1987 and pre-), to ensure the oldest tapes I have are salvaged first.
More Bucket of Slugs, of course. Unlike yesterday's monochromatically raucous Carnival EP, the follow up LP, entitled Pacifism, oscillates between whispered and barked songs. It appears that parents ...

So I'm diving straight into my comprehensives now. I'm building lists and checking them twice (and more).

Nice to be back in the swim of things. I just put a final report out the door on a research project that I'd been working on for 14 months. It was a difficult project - one that didn't always go as planned, that got intermittently sidelined by other events ...

Tonight and tomorrow I'll be mind-moshing with local geekerati at Barcamp Vancouver. If you're signed up to be there too, come up and innerdooce yourself (you already know me by sight, or can figure it out via flickr or facebook, can't you?). I always like to meet readers and fellow ...

Heya. I am presenting in a panel at AOIR this year (the title of my presentation/paper is "The Technical Micropolitics of the Online Music Industry, 1997-2007", abstract here). For those of you who've followed my blog, you'll know something of what to expect, except that I'll be strictly framing up ...

Brilliant. More laughter can be heard here.
And of course, here's the story that gets it wrong, and can't or won't correct itself.

Cory Doctorow wrote an excellent piece about trolls here (from which I took a phrase to furnish the title field for this post).

A recent story in the New York Times about the Jonathan Coulton phenomenon (remember - he's the guy who posted a song a week on his blog for a year and so launched an infamous viral campaign interacting with fans who made videos for his songs, and who even recorded ...
