>> The Medium Picture: My latest book-in-progress is a history of the future of our relationship with technology. Technological mediation has changed and continues to change our relationships with each other, our information, time, space, and ourselves. It isn’t going to go away. In fact, it’s only going to become more pervasive. The Medium Picture explores these relationships at all levels, from language and literature to television and cell-phones. It’s about mediation, not just technology: It’s about the ripple, not the rock. It’s under contract with Zero Books and will be out in the near future.

>> Sound Unbound: I served as Assistant Editor to Paul D. Miller a.k.a. DJ Spooky on his essay collection, Sound Unbound: Sampling Digital Music and Culture. Contributors include Erik Davis, Manuel De Landa, Cory Doctorow, Chuck D, Brian Eno, Dick Hebdige, Vijay Iyer, Jaron Lanier, Jonathan Lethem, Moby, Steve Reich, Simon Reynolds, Scanner aka Robin Rimbaud, Bruce Sterling, Lucy Walker, and Saul Williams, among many others. Sound Unbound is available from The MIT Press.

>> Follow for Now: Follow for Now: Interviews with Friends and Heroes is an anthology of forty-three interviews with minds of all kinds. Published through my own Well-Red Bear imprint, Follow for Now is an eclectic, independently-minded snapshot of the intellectual landscape at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Disinformation named it “among the most important books published in 2007,” Erik Davis called it “a crisp and substantial remix of the major memes of the last decade or so,” and David Baker wrote that it and I were “about new ideas and trying to figure things out. I think he is about trying to make connections between things that no one else has connected.” Follow for Now includes an extensive bibliography, a full index, and weighs in at nearly 400 pages. Find out more, and order yours at the book’s own site, get it on Amazon’s Kindle, Google Books, or Barnes & Noble’s Nook.

>> The University of Texas at Austin: In spite of all the other stuff on this site, I spend most of my time doing schoolwork. I’m currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Communication Studies at UT-Austin. I’m working on a network theory of culture based on allusions and sampling. It’s currently only scribbles on a whiteboard, but the fine folks at UT are helping me sort it out.

>> FREESTYLIN’: Generation F: I was a contributing writer to Freestylin’ Magazine‘s reunion book, Generation F. Thanks to Mark Lewman, I got to reminisce about the old days of BMX riding and zine-making and what I learned doing them. It was an honor and a rare treat. You can flip through the book virtually here.

>> Level Magazine: I write reviews and other short pieces for Chris Noble’s revamped, online version of Level Magazine. Lots of good people and good stuff on that site.

>> ESPN.com: I signed on to write essays for ESPN’s BMX blog. I haven’t done as much for them as I had planned, but I’m proud of what I have up over there. I definitely have more in the works.

>> Reality Sandwich: Every once in a while I post something over on Daniel Pinchbeck and Ken Jordan’s Reality Sandwich site. Evolving consciousness, bite by bite.

>> labcabinalabama: My latest zine was put together to commemorate the summer of 2008, which I spent in the hinterlands of southeast Alabama, skateboarding, writing, corresponding, and hanging out with Jessy.

>> frontwheeldrive.com: After ten years online, frontwheeldrive.com came to an end in December of 2007. This is the explanation I posted over there.

>> Pampelmoose: I post quasi-regularly over at my friend Dave Allen’s music and media blog, Pampelmoose. My input notwithstanding, it’s a damn fine place to find out about new music, new media, and just where the hell it’s all headed. Oh, and it’s also the best place to find out what’s going on with the legendary Gang of Four, for whom Dave plays bass.

>> SLAP Skateboard Magazine: I’ve been writing for SLAP almost since it started, and I still manage to get a music review or feature in there every once in a while. Even if I didn’t write for it, it’d still be my favorite skateboard magazine.

>> NewmediaFIX: My stuff ends up on NewmediaFIX once in a while as well. A good collection of cutting-edge Net-commentary, thanks to Eduardo Navas.

>> Et Cetera: Yes, I do have a few other things in the works: a few other book ideas brewing (more on those later), custom notebooks, etc.
