There is beauty in this world, old and new, and while it may be argued that nature’s paintbrush is more graceful than Man’s chisel, I have a love for Things People Made.
In this post I’d like to talk about the appreciation of objects in their utility and elegance, the sensations they inspire and the impact […]

Let’s help Senator Conroy get Aussies off the Internet!
Dear Senator Conroy,
As the subject of internet safety is as hot a topic in the Netherlands, my home country, as it is in yours, I have closely followed the progress of your fabulous efforts to protect Australia’s children from the exigencies of the modern World Wide Web. While I applaud how close you’re coming to […]
Google Wave: a day in the future (1)
Note: Google Wave is currently in Developer Preview, meaning it’s not yet even beta, and only has a few thousand users. The current user experience is not representative of the stated vision, so for the sake of clarity I’ve taken some liberties in this part by including functions which currently have not yet been implemented […]
Google Wave: Right here, right now.
Faster, stronger, better, more.
As a New Media fag I’m all about doing more things faster, and the Rasmussens and their team clearly love me a great deal. While Wave is an open protocol and platform, and anyone will be able to build their own Wave server with their own interface, Google’s Wave interface is fast.
Not […]
Google Wave: Socket to me baby
The Rasmussen Brothers, who sound like a zing-hip edge-jazz outfit that only really cool people have heard about, understand something that few technology inventors focus on too much: they have no control over the future. Most innovators like to own their invention and would love to be the King of the Thing that becomes hugely […]
Google Wave: What does it do?
Explaining Wave is a difficult thing. Going by bullet-points, knee-jerk reactions include understimation, confusion and dismissal. I tell you plainly, therefore, that Wave is the shit and to keep that in mind as you read this. I promise, pinky swear, that there will be honest critical evaluation later. For now, just go with it, ‘kay?
I will […]
Google Wave: Dream Come True
Henry Ford once said: “If I’d asked my customers what they wanted, they’d have said a faster horse.” Sage wisdom, that. I’m a sucker for Apple products because they consistently give me the little thrill of experiencing that someone, be it an architect, engineer or godly designer, gave great thought to making this feature or […]
Google Wave is Awesome
I’m a New Media Guy. I’m easily excited by cool innovations in human communication. Blog–Journal, Face–Tube, Twit–Space, I love ‘em — and seeing new stuff emerging day and night keeps my hipster soul as happy as a pig in poo.
Some say people are getting dumber; I say that communication is becoming more egalitarian, that the dumb […]
SEX GOD.">I am a social-networking SEX GOD.
Some of you may have noticed I’ve gone on a rather vicious social networking safari as part of my long-term plan to penetrate your tinfoil hats and control your minds. It has been brought to my attention that my guerrilla tactics are unbecoming a gentlemen.
So fine, have at me, you scoundrels.
Stalk me back. See how […]
Knotcast Presents: X (I’m on a podcast, yo!)
Couple weeks ago a bunch of the authors who worked on Sofawolf’s upcoming anthology X (www.kyellgold.com/x) recorded a roundtable podcast to promote the book and to generally have a good time. And now it’s been released on Knotcast!
Since then, Fuzzwolf has spent considerable time and effort engineering together the various sources, recorded across […]
