F8 was actually better than the after party so far. The sitar music is better than Thievery Corporation, for sure. #f8 - more on Twitter
BitTorrent bitcast finally up!
Wow - that was an education! After several hours of puttering around BitTorrent websites, testing every BT client that will run on my Mac, editing the MIME types, and reviewing my options with both Blog Torrent and Torrentocracy, I've finally got a BitTorrent version of my first bitcast (thereby making ...
First Bitcast! My INdTV video submission
Ta da! v.2
Here's my first attempt at a bitcast (my term for a video podcast / vlog), in direct-download form (rather than via BitTorrent). This is a highly compressed version of my INdTV video submission for my (failed) application to be a Digital Correspondent. It's technically RIAA restricted - I'm ...

I'm currently finishing up my masters at NYU's ITP (Interactive Telecommunications Program), doing research in large scale game design, social networking, urban computing, performative technology, and networked objects.

Projects that I've been a part of which you might have heard of include Socialbomb, BootyDialer, The Invention of Murder, Rumplestiltskin (An Aretefactual Performance), & Sharkrunners
You can email me at adam @ [the name of this website].
