Technology as Political Catalyst
It's become almost a cliché to observe that the Internet is changing the face of electoral politics at the national scale. The use of the web for fundraising (and to observe fundraising) is an obvious example, but for me a...
Talking Cyborgs & Revolution
The R.U. Sirius Show about augmentation mentioned below is now available (here's the MP3). Half of the program is a discussion of cyborgism, gene-doping, and what it means for a culture when some people can make themselves "better than normal."...
Tuesday Topsight, June 5, 2007
My month of travel is over, and I look forward to sleeping in my own bed. • Vote Early, Vote Often: I recorded my KQED Perspectives piece earlier today, and once again was told that I have a voice for...
Participatory Panopticon in Action
Justin of Justin.tv was the guest at today's recording of the RU Sirius podcast. A pretty genial guy, he seems reasonably conscious of the implications of his ongoing project. For those of you unfamiliar with Justin.tv, he wears a live-streaming...
Metaverse Roadmap Report
I'm more-or-less done now with my part of the report for the Metaverse Roadmap Project. Jerry Paffendorf and John Smart each wrote parts of the overall document, but my (very large) chunk is the set of scenarios describing four different...
Co-opting the Participatory Panopticon?
Is it still "sousveillance" -- watching from below -- if it's going straight to The Man? The city of New York, in a rather clever move, has decided to equip its 911 (emergency) and 311 (non-emergency) call centers with the...
December Futurismic Column Now Up
This month's Futurismic column is now up (my fault that it's late). It's an update on what's happening with the participatory panopticon. This time, I look at what Michael Richards, UCLA cops, and George "Macaca" Allen have in common, and...
Clouded Futures (Updated)
If you take a look over to the right sidebar (and scroll down a bit), you'll see a new addition to the Open the Future site structure: a "tag cloud." That's what I was trying to get working yesterday when...
Backlog
So, gone for about a week, followed by a week of meetings and deadlines, and I end up with a serious backlog of interesting/cool/relevant links that really should blog more thoroughly. Rather than bemoan my fate and slowly trickle them...
Anticipating Pop!Tech
The speaker list at Pop!Tech includes more than a few very familiar faces, and that will undoubtedly be fun. But I'm really hoping to see some new names, and a few presentations on the list look to be definitely worth...
Implant Rejection
How'd you like a computer in your head? Brain implants are staples of both science fiction and speculative conversations about the future. I noted a few months ago that a surprisingly large portion of the Metaverse Roadmap crowd considered brain...
Participatory Panopticon Draws Ever Closer
Just a couple of quick items on the participatory panopticon front: Life Caching has the current lead for the pronunciation-friendly name for the participatory panopticon -- and it's the term used by Waymarkr, the first public software with an explicitly...
Tuesday Topsight, July 11, 2006
I had the somewhat surreal experience last night of participating in a focus group on the California energy industry. My experience was odd because, about a quarter of the way through, the moderator was called out by the faceless folks...
Thursday Topsight, July 6, 02006
Monday doesn't come until Thursday this week. • Green Nuclear: "Don't get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It's just that I prefer fusion to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor safely banked a...
Monday Topsight, June 26, 2006
Light blogging week (of course, the week when I get a hat tip from BoingBoing). I'm spending the next few days at the Institute for the Future's Health Horizons conference (PDF), including serving as the keynote speaker tomorrow. I'll be...
Alpha-Testing the Participatory Panopticon
It looks like the first draft version of the participatory panopticon -- the set of technologies allowing individuals to record everything that happens around them, for later playback, analysis, and archiving -- will come not from mobile phones on steroids,...
Everyware, Blogjects and the Participatory Panopticon
I love to watch the future take shape. For the past few years, I've closely watched the emergence of a set of technologies that make possible constant, widespread, and inexpensive observation and annotation of ourselves and the world. Cheap processors,...
