Zoom scottjacksonx: Ryan and Lucas at House of Prime Rib during WWDC week. Ryan appears to be using a fork as a stylus. Don’t ask — Android people are weird. The following conversation is 100% made-up, and never occurred: SCOTT: Why are you using a fork as a stylus there, Cory Doctorow? RYAN: Because, Scott, a fork is open. LUCAS: More open than your finger? RYAN: Yep. SCOTT: Really? RYAN: Yes. See, only one person can use your finger — you. That’s called hardware lock-in. Now, a fork, on the other hand? A fork can be picked up and used by anyone. Unlike your finger, a fork isn’t restricted and closed. SCOTT: Sure, a finger has DRM — Digit Rights Management. LUCAS: I don’t know, guys. I’m not buying it. It seems to me that if you see a fork, they blew it. I have exams to study for and an essay to write, but instead I imagine fake conversations between my friends. I don’t remember the actual conversation we were having. I do remember that I had my iPhone out to distract Ryan from noticing that I was grabbing his Nexus S (presumably so I could post terrible things to his Twitter), which he had carelessly sitting out on the seat between us. (I’m a bad person.)

Wild and Weird, Down in California

With both Scott and Ryan announcing that they’re headed down to San Francisco, you’re probably wondering: what about that third guy? Is he joining in on the fun, or has he been Culkined, left behind to set burglar traps in Ryan’s apartment?

Well, believe the hype: I’m coming down for WWDC1, but prior commitments have me headed down on Tuesday instead of right now. I’ll mostly be hanging around with Ryan, keeping him entertained and stopping him from breaking into Moscone West, but if you want to meet up then I’m prepared to kick him to the curb. Or we could include him too. Whatever works. Just email me at lucas@fuzzygreenhat.com.

Of course, right after WWDC, I’m going to MaxFunCon. Which will be great and I hope that you’ll be there too, but I can understand if you’re not.

  1. Not actually participating in any official WWDC festivities. ↩

I think I got an ARG in the mail today. Can anyone decode this cryptic message?

Zoom Did you know? On the Canadian census, all Christmas tree farms must be reported — no matter how small. It’s the law.

Under the Fuzzy Green Hat is the curious web log of Lucas Wagner, a guy who probably has better things to do than post here all day.
