An Interview with Cormac McCarthy

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:17:56 -0500

An Interview with Cormac McCarthy:

… in 100 years the human race won’t even be recognizable. We may indeed be part machine and we may have computers implanted. It’s more than theoretically possible to implant a chip in the brain that would contain all the information in all the libraries in the world.

This is what keeps McCarthy up nights. I must admit the end of learning is a sad thought. We could all be brain surgeon, rock star, helicopter pilots with a couple downloads.

I wanna scratch that record.

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:54:00 -0500

While perusing the photos of the new Twitter digs I noticed one similarity between Twitter’s new HQ and Facebook’s not quite as new HQ. Both count some turntables in their stable of office equipment.

This got me thinking about what the office protocols for scratching on the ones and the twos are? Can anyone do it? Can everyone hear your musical mix? Or do you have to wear headphones?

I have to think that if I worked at Twitter, even the seemingly nice guy Biz Stone, would punch me in the face after the tenth time he heard me attempt to cut Kenny Roger’s The Gambler with Sir Mix-a-lot’s Posse on Broadway.

Any insight on public turntable etiquette would be much appreciated.
