Oh and its flyingpurplemonkeys but I’m probably switching to a more sensibly named wordpress.com blog at some stage anyway.
Just listened to this ep and was about to get onto amazon and buy Engines of Creation when this came through the kurzweilAI feed;
“Free-book publisher WOWIO will announce Friday the publication of Engines of Creation 2.0: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology – Updated and Expanded by K. Eric Drexler, an ebook-only version available free exclusively through WOWIO.”
WOWIO is a site which distributes free ebooks and has Drexler’s revised version for download here. Only problem is that you need to be a US citizen to get an account. Anyone got a spare “.us” email account.
Cam, maybe you could get someone from WOWIO on to discuss the the site and it’s mission/business plan (an ad based revenue model).
great show, I am a bit behind in listening I know but hey, not everyone can be molly. I really enjoyed the bit about Harry Potter marketing. It gels with with the whole Y generation having scant attention spans.
I would like a whole show on ‘when to sleep on it’. I am truly addicted to letting the subconscious work things out. I have heard many composers say that when they right a great song they feel like magic has happened as they didn’t really control it. Ideas are just like that I find. If I try to consciously influence my decision making it tends not to work so well.
