In the recent Wired Magazine article, writer Steven Levy has an interesting revisit to a book that I once just loved, Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution, which sought to document and profile those folks who sought to revolutionize the personal computer, mostly with the ideals that technology could eventually be put into the hands More >

This is the second in a series of comics about Boolean’s cyborg, Cylene, taking on a job of robo-calling. In this case, I have Cylene working for a political candidate. Peace (in the calls), Kevin

During our last tumultuous here in Massachusetts (ie, Republican Scott Brown), our phone was overwhelmed with robo-calls.

Here is another in this series of Children of the Screen comics with Boolean Squared.

This is the second in a series of new Boolean Squared comics about Screen Literacy and kids, which follows an article by Kevin Kelly that I read and blogged about the other day. Here, I was thinking how adults (particularly those in the media) always want to tag each cohort of kids with some label. More >
