We are rocking the world of Street art, and Remixing. A common threads throughout the different cultures and geeky references with interesting stories to tell.
I love this concept, imagine taking websites and looking at them on the technology available at the time. This takes away the trappings of higher deff, or resolution. yes the monitors were smaller, no the refresh rate wasn’t what it should be. But the web as an experiential place, was experienced through these eyes.
You sitting at your desk in 1994 logging onto AOL clicking through 15 screens to get to the Internet. Explaining to people who have AOL that they don’t NEED AOL to get to the internet. Prodigy, Compuserv, Imagination, GeoCities, BBS all these gateways were portals to the world.
These were the decks that people used to log into the system to pull a term from William Gibson. By today’s standards they were horrible. But with technology ever advancing how do you relive what was once the way things were done?
An installation at Internet week in New York called Digital Archaeology does this. It was designed by Jim Boulton and partners and originally debuted in London in 2010. The centerpiece is called The Project 1991, It pulls archaic cruft out of geeks basements and serves them the page designs and cookies of their time. This is a neat idea. One day I hope something like this makes its way to Philadelphia!. How would you like to see it in your neck of the woods?

Tons of content, but not much energy. Having a down cycle with caffeine right now but i will bring the news and fun to you just as quick, but maybe not so loud. The news was wide reaching this half of the week with interesting tech coming out of unlikely marriages, GM and Segway? We answer the question, Do 3D desktops make sense? AP is biting the hand that feeds them and Linux starts an interesting ad campaign.
All these stories and more. We’re continuing our Adopt a NewB Day celebration with More blog design guides and quick tips for blogging, living digitally and managing your online presence.
Today’s show is a product of some mistakes i made in the past and my attempt to make things right here. We have a ton of great content lined up for the show, please remember to check out the Tumblr stream for content which although no less awesome just wouldn’t fit into the show. We have news from all corners of the internet and plan to release it upon the world tonight! I especially like the beer segment at the end, so stay tuned for that.
