Robot. Made of smaller robots.
I've written under the handle Eripsa for over a decade on various blogs and forums. Today I do my most of my blogging and research at Digital Interface and on my G+ stream.
I'm interested in issues at the intersection of the mind and technology. I write and post on topics ranging from AI and robotics to the politics of digital culture.
Specific posting interests are described in more detail in this post.

It is somewhat unfashionable to talk about thinkers that inform your work, as opposed to issues. But philosophers in particular tend to map out the problem space by reference to each position's strongest defenders. So I'm going to list a series of names here, not just to cite their influence on my work, but really to triangulate on what the hell it is I think I'm doing.
Turing, Quine, Heidegger, Dan Dennett, Andy Clark, Bruce Sterling, Bruno Latour, Larry Lessig, Clay Shirky, OWS, and Google.

Before the Internet
I just hit 10,000 followers. It's a meaningless milestone, I know, but I put quite a bit of effort and time into my writing on this stream and it's good to use these meaningless excuses to reflect on that work. At 6000 followers I wrote up a summary of my posting interests (http://goo.gl/x1fyx). I'm going to use this excuse to talk a bit more about where I am and how I got here.
Is there a season for births?
