latest dispatch

very busy these last few days trying to sort my life out, and writing a couple of papers whose URI i'll post here in the next few days, so blogging was and will be light.

of interest:

"We will not take part in the funeral for freedom."

A cell-phone text message circulated in Iran to protest against a clampdown on reformists in last weeks of parliamentary elections.   Via Joi Ito


moveon.org seeks to match geeks to progressive organisations: take the test to see if you've got the sills to pay the bills here

and i saved the best for the end. two papers that will rock your world:

"Radical Machines Against Techno-Empire" by Matteo Pasquinelli

this is where negri and hardt's empire meets free software. a must read full of wisdom.
 
and

Headmap: mapping out spatialised computing [pdf]

weird, funny, critical, well-informed take on how wearable computing and cyberspace mapping blend with carlos castaneda, subcommadante marcos, MDMA, LSD, and lots of other stories from the outer boundaries of our conscioussness. when technology, politics, and rave converge on a point of no return.
