Things are going to get wierder

Via Jake McKee I just discovered this video of Chris Heuer interviewing Clay Shirky:

Clay’s long been a favorite speaker of mine – Perl as an act of love and the cognitive surplus being two other videos featured here – and Chris does a great interview here.

My favorite quote, as you might suspect given the tagline of this blog: “Things are going to get wierder before they get saner.” We’re in the midst of a long transformation – we’ve left point A but point B won’t be clear for some time.

Clay Shirky on Colbert Report

(via BuzzMachine) comes this video (just under six minutes) of Clay Shirky being interviewed on the Colbert Report talking about Here Comes Everybody.

As you might imagine, Colbert has some difficulty with the “who is paying them?” notion.

Good fun for a Friday afternoon.
