Fairdale Parser Express: My New Bike

My Books

I was Assistant Editor on Paul D. Miller a.k.a DJ Spooky's Sound Unbound: Sampling Digital Music and Culture, about which Laurie Anderson said, "What a marvelous collection! I love this book!"

My first book, Follow for Now: Interviews with Friends and Heroes, is an anthology of interviews with all kinds of minds. Disinformation named it "among the most important books published in 2007," and Erik Davis called it "a crisp and substantial remix of the major memes of the last decade or so."

I have a little piece in Disinformation's first book, You Are Being Lied To, a compendium of dissent, which also includes essays by Noam Chomsky, Howard Bloom, Douglas Rushkoff, Howard Zinn, Richard Metzger, Alex Burns, and Mark Pesce, among many others.

Fairdale Parser Express: My New Bike

As with most of the bikes I build, I wrote up my new bike over on HEADTUBE. It’s a sweet Fairdale Parser Express that I got from Taj Mihelich. He even posted it up on the Fairdale site.

It’s another BMX-inspired ride, what I like to call my “big boy bike.”

Check out the full post on HEADTUBE, along with all of my other bike and bike-related projects. Many thanks to Taj for hooking me up with this thing.

Respond / React:

I marshal the middle between Mathers and McLuhan.

My main interests are figurative language use and the social impacts of technology. My main goal as a writer is to entertain and as a scientist is to find novelty. I’m more of the former than the latter and more of a fan than a critic.

I'm currently a Visiting Lecturer in the Department of Communication at The University of Illinois at Chicago, as well as a doctoral student in Communication Studies at The University of Texas at Austin. I'm also working on a book called The Medium Picture, which is under contract with Zer0 Books and will be out in the near future. This site is where I think aloud about all of the above. Read on »
