I had three topics I wanted to cover today, and ended
up spending about an hour thinking about what I was
going to say and which resources I was going to
include. This was too long, and the end result was
still very rambling, but I think I'll get better at
this with more practice.
0. try to not say "uuuuhhhhmmnn"
1. be lazy (software carpentry)
2. flipside of "publisher's block" (git-annex)
3. visiting another country (windows 8 release preview)

Jaron Lanier's _You Are Not A Gadget_

What I mention in the video is not at all the main point of
Lanier's book (which is quite good!), and in fact, his book is a
critique of (over) digitization. Nevertheless, I'm only pointing
out that there are redeemable aspects of an increasingly digital
artifact producing life, such as preservation.

where I go into more depth about "information overload".
(HTM) git-annex
Excellent project. The technical details is that when you "annex"
files, they are renamed to long hash of their contents (bit rot
resistant!) and stored in a
