Readings: Snow Crash

So, work and homework have been keeping me busier than usual...but I haven't forgotten about the Envelope, you will find out what lurks beneath its glossy exterior soon enough...

But right now, I'd like to talk about Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I'm about 4/5ths of the way through the book, and I really like it! The idea that there's a human language equivalent to the machine code of computers...it just makes sense...so next week when you see me outside of your castle with my neurolinguistically-programmed horde... get yourself a nice glass of lemonade and get ready to enjoy the biggest dance-spectacular yet! The choreography is irresistible! (What? Did you think I would program people for anything other than artistic purposes?? Shame on you!)


Anyways, here's a comic inspired by Snow Crash. (Again, the scene did not play out quite like this in the book...)









Did someone say IO??


Our cat Io is totally binary.

i think you should include animations in all of your posts...also io is looking pretty awesome

Animations?? I'm not that talented...also I'm not sure who would lend their voices to the stick figures...Somehow I think Nam would be unwilling.

When I gave Io your compliments, she just glared at me. Her favor can not be won easily.

Thanks, all proportions are based on careful study of actual stick-men.
