Wherein our hero reflects on the pug ugliness of Heathrow Airport’s new Terminal 5, which looks like the Airport That IKEA Built – and not in a good way.
A little context: I turned 31 on Saturday, at which point I promptly fled to country for Singapore. America is a country for the young, I decided.

A bit of a hiccup in my NaNoWriMo scribblings, due to this turning out to be an incredibly tempestuous week (and it’s only Tuesday). Big news is breaking here in the Comparative Media Studies program at MIT, which I’ll link to as soon as it is officially announced… And now the cat is out of […]

For those of you not following my Twitter stream, I have just posted a short essay featuring my (bemusement/excitement/fascination) that Warren Ellis is writing G.I. Joe webisodes over at the C3 blog. The article also features Joss Whedon’s new project Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog and Seth MacFarlane’s upcoming Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy. Check […]
Man, I gotta learn to pace myself. In addition to my own entry this morning, “On Maps and Legends,” I also posted two more essays on the MIT blogs: “WiiWare, PSN, XBLA and the Long Tail” on the GAMBIT blog and “The Dangerous World of a GPS That Does Not Exist” on the C3 blog. […]
