The future has arrived -- it's just not evenly distributed

by Joey deVilla on Mon 20 Oct 2003 01:55 PM EDT | Permanent Link | Cosmos

We're still a little short on diversity at tech conferences. Here's a snippet of a conversation about BloggerCon between me and Ejovi Nuwere that we had on Joi Ito's IRC channel earlier today:

<ejovi> were you the asian guy with the accordion at joi's dinner?
<AccordionGuy> That was me.
<ejovi> ah, cool. i was the black guy.

About This Blog

Back in high school, after reading Space-Time and Beyond for the umpteenth time and drinking one too many zombies with my friend Henry, we came up with a theory:

In the infinite set of universes, there had to exist a particular universe in which the events in our lives were being watched as a TV show.

We then made a solemn vow to live in a way to keep our ratings up.

This is the continuation of that story.
