THIS MY BLØG

I just write in TextEdit and paste into whatever but maybe I'm dating myself to before GUIs were even a thing

do you know if gifs work on medium, and if they do, can you make them so they don't play unless you mouseover? asking for a friend because that would be useful for making short gif stories, evil guide dog style. the infiniteloop gif doesn't work so well for those

u cn def gif there not sure abt the mouseover part

agree and the cool thing is if you meet laggzz you can then kinda hear him in your head talking when you read something he writes it's cool

That sounds wonderful maybe he should come to San Antonio, I will let him meet te spurs who all live down the street from me in a hoops commune

thank u guys u r too nice :)

I personally limit my weekday screen time to bullying teens on yikyak and sending prompt, professional email replies.

this made me irl lol even though i dont remember what the hell yikyak is (was?)

this episode of this podcast is a great/nightmare primer on yikyak:

http://gimletmedia.com/episode/9-yik-yak/

sorry lagoon for spamming a podcast on your blog, also please make a podcast

live 2 pod

let's do a podcast. half an hour each week knocking a hot button issue back and forth, taking thought by the ear and leading it. just spitballing but some ideas for topics: airline food, black/white ppl:differences, men/women:differences, ppl looking at their phones all the time, apple watch, ariana grande

podcast idea: some ppl reading and reacting to their twitter feeds real time

actually, if that is not the basis of many podcasts already i would be surprised

a pod of ppl just reading tweets wld be pretty good

yikyak def makes me think of

"bloop your friends, and blorp them back"

hi

im in colorado tho

nice to see you

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/03/05/the-internet-won-t-save-us-evgeny-morozov-s-stand-against-technology-solutionism.html

i dislike the writer evgeny morozov. his opinions and writing all have this soggy hemming and hawing quality, and are never cool or controversial enough, kinda just sappy cliches about the internet. also imo if you're gonna be a pessimist go full dour & apocalyptic, his negativity is just so half-assed and unconvincing. like these are opinions expressed in that interview

-we probably can't use facial recognition software to tell if politicians are lying?

-a fork that tells you that you're eating too fast doesn't solve the problem that you don't live near a farmer's market [WTF?]

-instead of downloading freedom he bought a safe and locked his modem in it

-designers are trying to hide the fact that electric cords on stand-by use electricity by not programming them to wriggle in semblance of pain

also didn't this guy get slammed for plagiarizing recently? why does he still get interviewed

joe would be a much better tech prophet IMO

haha i just read another interview from a few years ago on gawker and look at this

"the Internet"—I find this concept so sickening and suffocating that I use it in scare quotes throughout the book

from the same interview. apparently we already have the technology of the movie minority report available to us but wait a second wouldn't eliminating crime actually be a bad thing because the fact that crimes are allowed to happen (wtf???) lets us have discussions(???)

We have the means to predict crime—with "big data" and smart algorithms—and prevent it from happening, ergo eliminating crime is a problem worth solving.

But is eliminating crime really a project worth pursuing? Don't we need to be able to break laws in order to revise them? Once crimes are committed, cases reach the courts, generate debate in the media, and so forth—the very fact that crimes are allowed to happen allows us to revise the norms in question. So the inefficiency of the system—the fact that the crime rate is not zero—-is what saves us from the tyranny of conservatism and complacency that might be the outcome if we delegate crime prevention to algorithms and databases.

i couldnt make it past the 2nd paragraph of that terrible blog post

ice cr88m is an anti-solutionism guy but please don't troll the comments section of his bløg

maybe if joe was more prolific with his anti-solutionism thought leadership we wouldn't have to put up with this other idiot

i'm not trolling shit

please stop trolling

exactly bobby spirals, there is a content vacuum. medium.com. kinja. get your head in the game joe.

i give u all permission to troll this blog

lol
