Hi everyone,

I just wanted to pass the word on that I will no longer be working with True/Slant, which might have been already clear from my lack of posts recently, and although I can’t yet officially say that I’ve found a new home for my tech editorials, it’s safe to say that I will be resurfacing, in one form or another, very soon.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Contrary to popular belief, modern computing isn’t perfect: laptops are often bulky or underfeatured to diminish weight, and desktops are large, power-hungry pieces of inflexible architecture. It is for this exact reason that authors, futurists, and technophiles have tried to envision what, exactly, the next evolution of the art of computing will be, especially in a post-smartphone, post-netbook world. The veil, however, has been lifted: tablet computing is the next wave.

It was recently announced that PBS has received funding, through a grant, for their Frontline program to air on a more regular basis throughout the year, disseminating its particular brand of unbiased journalistic investigation to a much needed audience.

The experiment at TBS that is Conan O’Brien’s primetime show begins this Fall, and Coco has been touring the country doing both live comedy and speaking appearances in the meantime, often mentioning sneak-preview details about his upcoming show. Some of his famous characters will reappear, alongside new ones and presumably more risque material, but neither Conan nor TBS have mentioned a key component of how to address his near-future audience: Internet-based viewing.
