Pretty ridiculous that he needed instructions on how to brew a cup of tea, but a compelling projection nonetheless.

“The final thing I’d say about optimism is this. If we took the loopiest, most moonbeam-addled Californian utopian internet bullshit, and held it up against the most cynical, realpolitik-inflected scepticism, the Californian bullshit would still be a better predictor of the future. Which is to say that, if in 1994 you’d wanted to understand what our lives would be like right now, you’d still be better off reading a single copy of Wired magazine published in that year than all of the sceptical literature published ever since.”

– Clay Shirky as covered by The Guardian

The last post and this are a couple items I’ve found on Flickr while searching for Creative Commons licensed images tagged “cityscape.”

I don’t know what she’s saying, but I’m pleasantly disgusted.

A while back I read that people were making home brewed audio tours for MoMA. This is several years ago, so the quickest of searches didn’t net much.

What I did discover is that MoMA makes their audio tours available, not just with the headsets at the museum, but as MP3s that can be downloaded and played through your MP3 player.

Here’s a link to the Henri Cartier-Bresson tour.

I found the interface to work well on their site, but it makes for downloading the entire tour clunky. One has to load each chapter from the playlist on the right side of the page, then download each element separately. A “download all” link would be very much welcome.

Now to queue up the tours and revisit the installed shows with both eyes and ears open.
