i work hereThis place needs an overhaul
I haven’t posted here in a while because I’ve been busy as hayell starting a company, launching two series, and doing work for the New York Times Magazine and the science journal Nature.
When I come up for air, I will make this place pretty again. Promise.
The Monitor #14
The Monitor hath returned from its summer hiatus with a vengeance. And explosions. And Michael Bay.
Yes, we used Michael Bay as a launchpad for science news. Watch the awesomeness in the righthand column.
if this post had been written by anyone but Denton, he’d have canned their ass
It’s lovely what you can get away with when you own the joint. Like write posts whose voice (somewhat formal, snark-free) and content (eggheadish) is pretty much as mismatched to the rest of the site as humanly possible.
(Not that I mind seeing clear-headed science content on one of the internet’s most-read blogs. Hell, I’d rather read it there than here.)
My show “The Monitor” is hiring
Hey, all 13.5 people who read my blog… the weekly science-news show I produce, “The Monitor,” is losing its multitalented screencasting/mograph genius. I’ll miss ya, Mike.
So I need to hire someone to fill his shoes. (And just so we’re clear, by “hire” I mean “pay.”) My new ninja has to have mad editing skills, know video formats inside and out, be able to create, execute and assemble simple motion-graphics effects, and have at least a passing familiarity with the phenomenon of screencasting.
Interested? Know someone who might be? Get in touch ASAP.
Iceland: most incredible place ever
Yup, I know I’m only the jillionth person to say that, but it’s kind of hard not to once you’ve seen it with your own eyes.
going off the grid
Tonight me and the lady are taking off for a ten-day vacation in Iceland and Paris. I’m bringing my iPod for airplane viewing, but other than that it will be a totally computer/internet-free stretch.
Pics and stuff when we get back…
an actually great use for Twitter
Beautiful. This is one of my best friends from high school.

I’m about to co-found an online/video consulting/development/production business and this could be our motto/mission statement.

The internet is to human interaction as Pringles are to potatoes.
Well put, Wired.com’s-resident-curmudgeon.
