I really like this quote from Fran Lebowitz in the Wired article on the unrelenting ubiquity of music nowadays:
“I am no more interested in hearing ‘Mack the Knife’ while waiting for the shuttle to Boston than someone sitting ringside at the Sands Hotel is interested in being forced to choose between 16 varieties of cottage cheese. If God had meant for everything to happen at once, he would not have invented desk calendars.”

Hi there, I'm Adam Simon. I'm the Creative Director and Co-Founder of Socialbomb, a social gaming startup in New York City. I recently graduated from NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), doing research in large scale game design, social networking, urban computing, performative technology, and networked objects. You can find info on my thesis here, and a big list of all my ITP-related posts here
I sometimes work at area/code.
Projects that I've been a part of which you might have heard of include BootyDialer, The Invention of Murder, Rumplestiltskin (An Aretefactual Performance), & Sharkrunners
