So, once again I've been watching various TED talks and there's a couple I'd like to bring to your attention.
The first is Johnny Lee's "Wii remote hacks". While the possibilities he's realised for a (relatively) cheap piece of technology are astounding, what interests me most is the end of his speech, where he talks about how the web has enabled the sharing of his ideas. He mostly talks about online video distribution and YouTube, but it relates to other community/collaborative/web 2.0 technologies that allow for the sharing and development of ideas.
The second features Tod Machover, the creator of Guitar Hero. He talks about his various other projects that bring the ability to create music to anyone. These kinds of projects were something
that we somewhat touched on in my undergraduate music tech course, but taken much further. That part of the course was something that really interested me as it really fully went against the side of the course that encouraged convoluted approaches to music creation that I really didn't enjoy.

This is my main blog. In it I talk about various aspects of culture (digital and otherwise), new media, the internet, my ideas, and anything else that I feel I need to cover or discuss.
I also use it as a place to chronicle instances of Alice (of Wonderland fame) in popular culture. These instances are intended to be "found", so I don't include any I've been directed to (such as those that occur in texts I read for my course) or any I actively seek out.
