And now we're back...

Saturday night inside the Moogaplex during a secret DJ set by Caribou and Four Tet.

Whoah. Sorry for the delay between posts. It's taken me several days to recover from the weekend in Asheville and to catch up on everything else going on - like my Geekend talk this Friday (11/4) with Drew from Paragon Design called "The War on Stupid Needs You."

The talk is about information translation - taking the important issues covered by long form journalism (which relatively few people can tolerate because of our society's collective media-induced A.D.D.) and distilling them into pill-sized caplets of information that are readily digestible quickly but are able to impart relatively complex discussions on policy, politics, etc. It lays out some guidelines for creating a new system, which is already starting to develop in small clusters, where journalists and creatives of all kinds (designers, animators, recording engineers, etc) join forces to create effective bursts of information that will help explain the issues of the day.
