If it’s Thursday, this must be North Carolina! Just as soon as I finish breakfast, I’m off to give a couple speeches here in the Raleigh-Durham region:
- 5PM: Duke University, Love Auditorium, Levine Science Research Center — “From Myspace to Homeland Security: Privacy and the Totalitarian Urge”
- 2PM University of North Carolina, Wilson Library — a talk on copyright
Midnight.Haulkerton, a “Grok Rock” band from Australia, has very kindly recorded a song inspired by my new short story collection, Overclocked: Stories of the Future Present — just the first of more to come. This is about the coolest, most flattering thing ever.
Future shock, present shock, we’re already in past shock
Too much to go to and nowhere to go, we’ve got way too much to know
Something in the future’s already in the past, the present’s an illusion
Cos the world is spinning way too fastOverclocked, clock shock
This watch never stops
Overclocked, time’s fast
You’ve been blasted in the past

I recorded a podcast this morning for the Thunderbird Six show, a science-related podcast from Thunder Bay, Ontario. We covered the usual stuff — copyright, DRM, science fiction, EFF — they’re funny guys, too.
Here’s part 7 — chapters 17-18 — of the reading of my novel Eastern Standard Tribe.
