Worm was pretty amusing.

load original document into word

find all instances of "the", "it", "and", replace them with " "

go through the list of the two hundred most common english words, replace them all with ","

that's much better.

I was surrounded
seized
by a slow, coloured mist
and a whirlpool of lights
in the smoke
in the mirrors
in the booths glowing at the back of the cafe
and i couldn't see why it was there
or why it was like that

I don't know what you mean by that.

GW thread?

I can't decide if I should read Long and Short Sun first or the short stories collections.

Already done BOTNS/Urth/5HoC obviously.

I've been going with the shorts, not impressed yet. They're tidbitty.

Bleeding Edge, although it's set in 2001, he's speaking directly to 2016 politicized meme-culture.

Tao Lin has a lot of Google Mail chatting, but he doesn't really explore it

Evgeny Morozov writes nonfiction critical of the Internet hype

Cory Doctorow writes a lot of YA about networked kids, but he can't think straight

I second Bleeding Edge, IMHO yet the best novel about the Internet

Stay away from Eggers' The Circle, it's turbodumb. It purports itself to be *the* Internet novel, but it's just clichés from some guy who's read about the Internet in his newspaper

>Russian studies colleague of Derrida's gets investigated by UC Irvine for the alleged sexual harassment of a 25 year old student

Why would a professor need to harass? unless they are hideous, all things equal, derrida wouldn't be friends with someone hideous. Profs have to spend effort turning horny sluts down who want the easy A. Without a pic, clearly something else was going on.

Listen and believe, you shit lord.

> According to multiple sources, Derrida wanted UCI to halt its investigation of a Russian studies professor, Dragan Kujundzic, who was accused of sexually harassing a 25-year-old female doctoral student. So he tried to use his archives as leverage to derail the case, they said.

> The 2004 sexual harassment lawsuit contends that Kujundzic, who taught a popular class on vampires and signed his e-mails with a colon to symbolize Dracula bite marks, used his position as the student’s advisor to manipulate her into a series of sexual encounters. …

> … The student said she felt coerced to engage in sex or risk having her academic career ruined. UCI’s probe of the affair sided with neither party. Investigator Gwen Thompson concluded the relationship was consensual but said Kujundzic violated a university policy that barred professors from dating students they supervised.

> Kujundzic argued that he wasn’t the student’s advisor, an assertion UCI rejected. In mid-2004, university officials began weighing penalties for the Serbian-born professor.
