William Burroughs died on my thirtieth birthday. Conduct yourselves accordingly.
Salon’s David Talbot
wrote an excellent letter describing the latest design decisions at Salon. Yes, they ditched some of the new “features”.
C|Net ran a story
yesterday on a new genre of search engine being developed under the name InfraSearch. It’s just a bare-bones proof of concept now, but the idea is very exciting. They’re moving everything out to the periphery, away from the center. Centrifugal, not centripetal like client/server. Relationships, not just information. Very very cool.
OK, the letter
that Tom quotes in Barbelith is way too funny.
I watched
a documentary tonight called The Source. It was very very good in many ways, and although to a great extent I’ve gotten over my young man’s fascination with Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs, and the rest, I still believe them to be absolutely central to a lot of what we consider “contemporary” North American culture – including “digital culture”. You can draw a straight line, for instance, from Kerouac to the EFF, and it’s not that long a line (Kerouac — Cassidy — Garcia/Weir — Barlow).
