In-der-Blog-sein
Last month I linked to a Guardian article on the lost iPod generation, which referred to Heidegger's thinking on technology.
Unfortunately, the article has spawned something even more insidious than an attack of the zombies "cocooned in their personalised sound-bubbles". That journalistic commentary is responsible for an instance of that most degenerative social meme which repulses even Cthulhu deeper into the non-Euclidean corners of R'lyeh. Behold that horrible event, the birth of a non-quote quote!
