Jason Scott's Weblog
This is post-California trip, but I’m kind of still in California, so maybe I should say that statements made within this entry are forward-looking and are not meant to be predictions or assurances of future Jason locations. This weekend was all about the ANSI Gallery showing on Saturday the 12th, and to that level it […]
One of the constant refrains of past consideration of what great things computers will do for us is the “smart agent”, a mythical delightful artificial intelligence that will cater to our every whim. In fact, this is the central thesis of Hyperland, one of those surreal film projects where you no longer have to wonder […]
As an example of where my new weblogging schedule comes into play, I’ll be away in California all this weekend. That’s time I can’t spend writing entries, but time doing stuff. So let me dump out a variety of related topics. The reason I’ve jaunted out to the West Coast is to be at the […]
A big step happened for me today; I moved a domain I considered “mine” to a hosting service. The service is Dreamhost and the site is getlamp.com. It’s now hosted elsewhere, as is the mail, and all of the “stuff” is being handled by Dreamhost. When you go to the site, in other words, nothing […]

Somewhere on my trusty newsreader came one of a hundred mentions of the new Wikia-supported search site run by my favorite person in the whole wide schoolyard, Jimbo Wales. I don’t know how it’s going to work. I don’t care. This mention, however, was special. It came through a mention on BoingBoing, a site I […]
As we now begin 2008, my little weblog project will be undergoing some changes. As mentioned in the last entry, I’m dropping out of a self-imposed “post every weekday” rule, which was previously a “post every day” rule. The “every day” rule betrayed itself as impossible within a few weeks and the “every weekday” held […]
