Tech-absurd: the most USEFUL machine ever [video]

This stunningly funny video is perfectly describing the relation between the man and technology. The man is developing a technology, so that he wouldn’t be able to use it afterwards. For someone who wants to point this out, the machine in a video is the most useful (working) example ever seen.

Mobile fiction – what is it and why is it at all?

Mobile fiction? What the hell is it? Another stupid name “invented” by a DIY author to describe his writing? Probably you’re right. But are you brave enough to give it a try? The fact that The New York Times didn’t write about it, doesn’t mean that it’s completely unimportant.

What is it?

Mobile fiction is fiction literature written with a mobile reader in mind. Mobile reader is the one who reads mo-books. Mobile reader is a tech-nerd with high level of novelty acceptance. He’s driven by technology and doesn’t want to be stopped. Lives quickly, likes to do many things at once, needs to be plugged in.

One can say: yeah, but Dan Brown is also writing for, as you call him “a mobile reader”. His books are also available in electronic format, you can read them on a Kindle, so why all that fuss?

Every author imagines his readers in situations when they’re “swallowing” his books. Such an image is one of writer’s muses. My muse is definitely not spending 12 hours on a sofa under a heavy blanket (as Brown’s muse could do). My reader is reaching for a book while he’s on the go. 20 minutes in an underground, 7 minutes in a queue. I also imagine that my reader is often switching to Twitter, RSS reader, games or application store on his smartphone. He doesn’t distinguish reading a book from any other kind of reading. »»»

Human +/- Technology

A self-expanding collection of thoughts on an intensive and complicated relation between human and technology, prepared by a no name writer like me for a geek like you.

A first device which is really making people’s life easy, hasn’t been invented yet.

There are good and bad devices. The former you can eventually turn off.

Pleasure of coping with technology can be compared only to pleasure of coping with somebody who is more stupid than I am.

I already know that I’ll die holding a device in my hand.

I love technology, but I hate it. »»»

A book promotion running until year 2109

A hundred-year-long book promotion. Is it a joke? Definitely not. I’m serious about it. As serious as a tech-absurd writer can be. It’s possible, it takes half an hour and it makes you feel really great. Look at the screenshot below:

When did I do it? Before lunch. How did I do it? I’ve scheduled one hundred tweets (yes, one tweet a year) with a link to Password Incorrect, my mobilefiction book available for free from Feedbooks. There are a couple of Twitter apps you can use for that, like CoTweet or TweetLater. My choice was Hootsuite.

Now, the most important question: why did I do it? There are several reasons, you just need to skip this distracting thought at the back of your head, saying “all that doesn’t make sense at all”. »»»
