 friday, january 26Wired We Live in Public (free registration required) officially launches so the rest of us can tune in to watch almost every moment of Josh Harris and Tanya Corrin's wired lives. "January 22nd was Tanya's birthday, and the tension between Josh and Tanya which started on New Year's eve came to a head. Will Tanya move out? How long will she stay? Will Josh and Tanya make up? Tune in and find out." The technology seems pretty impressive as the cameras cut to follow the inhabitants of the home from room to room - maybe it's not all that difficult and I'm a sucker for something a little different. Take this morning. I watched the laundry being done and the kitchen being cleaned. Very exotic, but that's just because it doesn't happen all that much round here. What with Halycon's Real House, Jennicam and now, We Live in Public, does any one really need cable or a TV for that matter? I guess if you feel the need to tune into Temptation Island (like some of us who shall remain nameless), that's not an option. Or require large, daily doses of the SciFi channel, like me (Swamp Thing and all). Personally, I don't think I'll ever be a candidate for living in a wired home because I'm not that all interesting. I do have interesting moments but it would take a judicious amount of editing to be able to attach the word "entertainment" any of it, and then, it would really be of interest to a limited few. The bigger question is whether or not any life is interesting enough for twenty four hour surveillance. Life in general, is pretty mundane. Doing laundry and cleaning the kitchen mundane.
Rik and Adrienne are getting married today. I guess with the time difference and all, they are most likely hitched by now. Best wishes to the happy couple. Belated birthday wishes to Mr. Ben Brown. How could I have missed it, what with the countdown and all? I suck. John Hodgman, Former Professional Literary Agent returns to McSweeney's. FOJM referrer of the day. The Daily BIKINI Start Page. I don't know why, but for some reason, there are far fewer of the The Daily Menagerie Start Page showing up. Yesterday? Choo choo. |
