Against geek austerity: A slight retort to Patton Oswalt
Good critique of Oswalt’s well written and funny (but terribly flawed and anachronistic) Wired article. Appearances by Frederik Jameson, Max Horkheimer and Theodore Adorno.
i would still like to see extraterrestrial snow that speak only with phrases from the princess bride

Wake Up, Geek Culture. Time to Die (Patton Oswalt)
We’ll have one minute before pop culture swells and blackens like a rotten peach and then explodes, sending every movie, album, book, and TV show flying away into space. Maybe tendrils and fragments of them will attach to asteroids or plop down on ice planets light-years away. A billion years after our sun burns out, a race of intelligent ice crystals will build a culture based on dialog from The Princess Bride. On another planet, intelligent gas clouds will wait for the yearly passing of the “Lebowski” comet. One of the rings of Saturn will be made from blurbs for the softcover release of Infinite Jest, twirled forever into a ribbon of effusive praise.
