We need semiotics heroes now more than ever
> Umberto Eco, semiotician, would have been able to write 2,000 words unfolding that Omnilux advert into its constituent symbols and deducing the shape of society from its very existence.
> Peak semiotics was probably, what, the 1970s? We need that expertise to dismantle communication once again.

The 1982 Put-That-There demo by the Architecture Machine Group at MIT as an example of intent-based computer interaction.

Hats! @genmon on Phrygian caps, Smurfs and MAGA
We need librarians! @genmon
> What we need is a long-term national programme to slowly, carefully accept digital data into a read-only archive. We need the expertise of librarians, archivists and museums in the careful and deliberate process of acquisition and accessioning (PDF).
I posted my end of year blog roundup -- my most popular posts of 2024 and my fave ones too (the lists are non identical). Plus some stats
Weekly streak is now 249 weeks, so 2025 will bring up five years of the posting streak AND my blog's 25th birthday
I wrote about staying up late and watching list songs on YouTube while wallowing in the impending end of the world
New blog post! https://interconnected.org/home/2024/11/29/end
The BBC In Our Time podcast started 20 years ago this week, making the BBC the first national broadcaster to have a podcast (the show had been on the radio for 6 years by that point)
It launched just a few months after podcasting was bootstrapped by Dave Winer and Adam Curry in early 2004, and 6 months before Apple added support for podcasts to iTunes.
Here’s my happy birthday to the In Our Time podcast, including a link to the original announcement post on my own blog
