About
I’m Jason Brown, and this is my “ego” website.
There are many like it, but this one is mine.
About My Awesome Website
The Purgatorial Afterlife of Personal Ephemera
People are supposed to collect and display their artifacts and memorabilia, right? Well, here you go. A rarely updated projects list, an out of date curriculum vitae, a list of old publications, some poster designs for long past events. There’s even a picture of me rocking a Quadra 800 in the mid 90’s. The purgatorial afterlife of personal ephemera, haunting us with an undead existence of hazy shadows and unintelligible echoes from decades past. Welcome home!
An Array of Encysted Data
So it begins as an innocent enough archival effort, yes yes. But data continues to encyst around these dried splinters of personal record keeping. Sometimes I’d post a back-dated “web log” entry about things I’ve done, because who has time to do it in advance? Not me! I’m doing stuff!
The data accretion eventually became self-perpetuating, with archives of my del.icio.us links and twitter posts. And this semi-automated “bloggy” accretion has in turn become polycephalic, allowing you to scan at feeds from other websites I’m involved in right here at this very site. Sometimes these feeds change… sometimes they don’t. It’s dynamic!
Dynamically Super-Awesome Post-Identity
But it doesn’t stop there. I’ve also assembled a fully dynamic status report, consisting of dynamically generated 2.0 info-feeds integrated from various “hep” and “happening” dynamic services that comprise my dynamically super-awesome post-identity.
I’ve also compiled a list of the super-awesome social networking services I’ve joined, to better facilitate our mutual integration into the dynamic world of socially awesome network services. If you look at that one, prepare to be blinded by the social networking awesome dynamic services beam. Eye protection! Super-awesome.
That’s Quite a Pile of Aggregation!
All in all, quite a pile of aggregation. One might go so far as to call all of this a “lifestream.” One might also videotape oneself “gagging” on one’s own tongue while attempting to say “lifestream,” after which one might curl into a “fetal ball” while contemplating “armageddon.” One might then upload the resulting video to “the web” where it might perhaps “go viral,” much like a “meme” or a “brain cloud.”
These choices are all available to us, here in the awesome future, which is now!
