THE RETURN · Friday November 30, 2007
Hey folks. All seven of you.
After a length nine 10 week break (the beginning of which curiously coincided with the completion of a 12,500 word dissertation), I think I’m ready to start hitting the Internets again.
I passed the MA – with distinction, no less! Somebody must have really liked my dissertation. Strange. The final title? From Panopticism to Pleasure: Surveillance, Search and Consumerism in Google’s Information Empire. It’s just BEGGING to be torn apart.
You can download it here (PDF, 234kb) if you enjoy self-flagellation. I jest, it’s not that bad.
Anyway, now that it’s rainy season in London and I’m going to be spending the winter cocooned/marooned in my cosy/tiny room, you can hope to see more stuff being posted here. Oh yeah, I’m still in London. Why? Amongst other things, one pound is currently worth over two dollars. Paying off American student loans in pounds is a worthwhile proposition, methinks.
Oh yeah, I’ve been Twittering shadloads over the past couple of months if you’re into that kind of thing. I’m building an archive of completely banal moments.

Sweet! Hope the rain leads to productivity.
Congrats, of course, on the distinction. I know you have some doubts about the work’s technical aspects, but there is nothing like good thinking channeled through good writing to make the medicine go down. And you’ve got it.
