[all of these are tweaked from word outputs so forgive the spastic html - steal anything you like - that's what it's here for]


I'll try and include original dates and context where and when I remember them

• whatever (aka virtual feedback)
  
  this was my original tv show idea, written in the middle of the night roughly around october 1996, which even now (sept '98) seems like way long ago.
  
  with a little bit of luck this still might get made



• a summary - of sorts at least
  
  of the ideas above - written at the request of a friend for clarity since stream of consciousness - especially mine - is not really everybody's style
  
  
• an EXCELLENT summary - with definitions
  
  every medium needs a new vocabulary - this document further details my ideas for interactive tv and attempts to formalise interaction chains and their use in understanding old media/new media fusion
  
  
  

on a slightly different note...

• Advertising - online ? you must be mad...
  
  this was part of the inspiration for an article written in the Independent in early '97 - it gives us yet more vocabulary as well neatly re-defining online banner adverts...
  
  
• renting software - slightly ahead of myself
  
  went to Cannes in may 97 and the industry turn was more obvious than ever - I wrote a small piece (never published so here's a rough draft) suggesting usage fees as a better model for software authoring - not too dissimilar to the renting fees some manufacturers are discussing now
  
  
  

lastly [for now at least]

• editing video - on a laptop
  
  very definitely the hard way to edit video - but here's an account of productive time spent making MPEGs in maui in the summer of '98
  
  
• life on the tracks - in London - Sept. 00
  
  spent a few hours being a train bound commuter on Southwest rail in England. Didn't like it much.
  At all. Here are my thoughts (and a few psychotic musings to boot).
