The Blogger is Back!

Here I am: The inconstant blogger.

While I was at the WIDE conference, I hear Johndan Johnson Eilola talk about RFIDS and Spimes, and I got very excited when he discussed how these technologies were "textualizing our lives." I know Steve Pepple is working on a proposal related to RFIDs.

Steve's blog is at: http://blog.myspace.com/pepplespace

The writer who has recently raised interest in these issues is Bruce Sterling, one of the UR-writers of the Cyberpunk movement. My interest in Sterling goes back to my days at the Clarion SF Writers workshop in 1972. Sterling's very interesting blogging on the subject is at:

It's often a hoot!
