- Two Bit Book Blog Processing Modulation Extravaganza 2008
I’m not a celebrity, but I play one on the famous internet.
This year at Harvard, I managed to fall in with a bad crowd: youth who have grown up entirely in the Internet era. They took my classes, they invited me to their absurd and wonderful conference, they’ve been making me perform […]
