No More Opera


h1 Posted 1 day, 3 hours ago mid-afternoon by oso

When speaking about how our society and culture are changing because of networked technologies, one of the many cheesy metaphors I often depend on goes something like this: In the 20th century we sat silently in the opera house; in the 21st century we find ourselves surrounded by the chaos and the pressure to participate [...]

[Export] April Fool’s, Valentine’s Day, and Ampelmännchen


h1 Posted 3 weeks, 6 days ago in the early evening by oso

This is probably the funniest six and a half minutes that I’ve spent on the internet in a long, long time. It also goes to show why guy friends (sorry ladies) are so much more fun than female friends: male bonding is more creative destruction than cautious compassion about feelings and emotions.
And that’s just so [...]

[Video] Shifting into Second


h1 Posted 2 months, 3 weeks ago around lunchtime by oso

I’ve been back in the United States for four days now, but I still feel like I’m stuck in first gear, always ready to take a nap but never able to fall asleep. The end of December is, in many ways, both exciting and challenging. I need to wrap up all the projects of [...]

Five Years of Global Voices


h1 Posted 3 months ago terribly early in the morning by oso

Five years ago I boarded a flight from San Diego to Boston to attend the 2004 Internet & Society conference at the Berkman Center. This was just a month after George Bush won the 2004 election and so there was an element of group therapy to many of the panel discussions. 2004 was the year [...]

Interview with Elena Ignatova of Metamorphosis

Here’s my latest Global Voices celebrity profile – this time Elena Ignatova who covers Macedonia on Global Voices, is in charge of Global Voices in Macedonian, and works for the Metamorphosis Foundation, which seeks to seeks to enhance the use of information in Macedonian government and society. Among the posts we mention in the interview [...]

The Ethics and Responsibility of Paying Attention


h1 Posted 4 months ago terribly early in the morning by oso

The World Blogging Forum proved to be even more surreal than Internet Hungary. (More on that later in a separate post.) We were only give the topics we were to speak about upon arrival, and I was asked to speak about “ethics and responsibility.” What follows is less a prepared presentation and more some meandering [...]

[Authenticity] An Interview with Veronica Khokhlova


h1 Posted 4 months, 3 weeks ago terribly early in the morning by oso

It has been a difficult few weeks for me – one of those times where I wish I could just skip ahead to the next chapter. But life doesn’t work that way. No skipping allowed. So while I’d like to be exploring the streets of Kyiv, taking photographs, reading books in its many fine cafes, [...]

Summary of Cloud Intelligence Symposium


h1 Posted 4 months, 4 weeks ago terribly early in the morning by oso

This week I’m trying to put some ending punctuation on all the fragments of projects I’ve left scattered over the past couple months before setting my sights toward new projects for November and December. I received a lot of kind and charitable feedback about my opening presentation at Ars Electronica. But, oddly, feedback about the [...]

[Translation] Global Voices’ Project Lingua: A complementary and alternative perspective to traditional media


h1 Posted 6 months, 3 weeks ago in the early afternoon by oso

The following is my translation of Paula Gonzalo’s interview with Juan Arellano about the Lingua Project on Global Voices. Links have been changed to their English-language equivalents when possible.
Juan Arellano is one of the bloggers who, beginning in 2007, has been working as an editor for the Global Voices Lingua project, one of the sites [...]

Global Voices and Foko on the BBC


h1 Posted 8 months, 1 week ago terribly early in the morning by oso

Georgia and Ivan were on BBC’s Pods & Blogs show a couple days ago discussing the past, present, and future of Global Voices. I have made a track of just their segment in order to save my esteemed readers from having to listen to a piece on virtual guide dogs in Second Life.

Georgia in Miami
