The Escape Pod people had some technical problems with their Shannon’s Law podcast. Here’s the fixed MP3.

I have a short story called “Shannon’s Law” in the new Welcome to Bordertown anthology, the first Bordertown book in decades. I was absolutely delighted to be invited to contribute a story, and had a fun time writing my piece, which is about the application of information theory to the problem of bridging the lands... <a href="https://craphound.com/news/2011/05/05/shannon...

Here’s part one of my reading of my story-in-progress, Knights of the Rainbow Table, a story commissioned by Intel’s Chief Futurist, Brian David Johnson. Brian oversees Intel’s Tomorrow project, which uses science fiction to spark conversations about product design and use among Intel’s engineers, and he was kind enough to invite me to write a... <a href="https://cr...

I’m back podcasting after a long post-surgical hiatus. I don’t have any new material to read, so instead, I’ve read one of my favorite comedic Mark Twain stories, Punch, Brothers, Punch. It’s a great little essay about a earworming mind-virus, prefiguring Snow Crash by a century and more! There’s more administrivia than usual in this... <a href="https://crapho...

Socrates from the Singularity Weblog attended my University of Toronto iSchool talk (“A Little Bit Pregnant: Why it’s a Bad Idea to Regulate Computers the Way We Regulate Radios, Guns, Uranium and Other Special-Purpose Tools”) yesterday and was kind enough to record and podcast it with a great write up. Here’s the MP3, too!
