zackshapiro:
It’s a whole lot easier to talk about what the iPad can’t do right now because no one has an iPad in their hands to rave about. It’s important to remember that Apple is positioning the iPad in between your everyday computer and your cell phone.
There are features that both your laptop and cell phone do much better than the iPad ever could. Apple will obviously never make the device...

aftercyberpunk:
‘The lasting significance of cyberpunk is not merely limited to a massive export of themes and motives to the literary and cinematic “mainstream.” Rather, its most outstanding achievement is a discursive one: cyberpunk fiction helped create what I have decided to call digital discourse, a two-headed monster which manifests itself both as a narrative discourse of literature and...

predatorywaspobserver asked: For the last few months I've been thinking about starting an underground magazine, a sort of booklet of art by local artists. To have it be something that is not filtered, not censored in any way and shows the works and creations of artists in the Richmond area. To have some issues just be free of topics and a compilation of work, while others having a specific topic and that topic being...
