It is not a thing specifically about Alexander Light. However, by virtue of acting as a receptacle for things Alexander Light regards as interesting or of value, it therefore must be a representative artifact of Alexander Light’s current interests or state of mind. 

alexanderlight used to be a blog at http://alexanderlight.blogspot.com/ which is still there, should you feel the need to go deep.

(p.s. I’ve not started routinely talking about myself in the 3rd person, I’m just trying to sort out my SEO rankings).

 Still here?  Here’s a list of people who I like and that I occasionally steal things from:


Random Vinyl
The Lobster Humidor
Iain
Gor
Meat
Asi
Nick
Mr Lomo
rupolarise
Nunz
Nathan

Insert coin.</title><description>&lt;p&gt;I am sad today. I am sad for the digital marketing industry. Here is why:&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. When will cunts learn Acquisition is a fucking waste of time&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Currently exemplified by the Isobar rampage that is going on at the moment - Glue are getting dicked senseless. Anorak got minced. Decon seemed to be victim to a scorched earth policy with pretty much the entire combined creative team disappearing within months of the merger. They’re all moving to Regents St offices in to a massive multi-floor agency Borg cube that no doubt will drive efficiency and eradicate all remaining traces of evil, accountant-unfriendly, unquantifiable creativity. I heard there were discussions about recreating the Owl &amp; Pussycat’s facade in the new office? What. The. Fuck. Come on guys, quit dry humping the tattered corpse of these once great agencies and resign yourself to becoming Publicis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;2. i-Level are dead&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I miss the Levelers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;3. Publicis released the iHobo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s something that seems very likely to me to develop rapidly, because there’s a clear direction with both technologies that compliment it (mobile computing, the ubiquity of wireless broadband, super cheap digital cameras, plus we’re finally getting closer to tech that gets a little closer to your eyes and brain). AR (or “Mediated Reality as Vernor Vinge put it) was something I read about a while back in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbows_End"&gt;Rainbow’s End&lt;/a&gt; (not the greatest book of his, but very vivid), but I’ve not seen anything that gets that close.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then I spotted this student piece via Kester - &lt;a href="http://vimeo.com/8569187"&gt;Augmented (hyper)Reality&lt;/a&gt;. I think this (sadly) gets a lot right. I ask myself “What will my kids do that freaks me out” and I think the answer is “Find living in this utterly natural”.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://alexanderlight.com/post/382013259</link><guid>http://alexanderlight.com/post/382013259</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:38:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>With Dominic leaving for New York City, we decided to celebrate...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxjaxvuUtq1qa4e8zo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;With Dominic leaving for New York City, we decided to celebrate (!) by forming the 1960’s advertising agency RFB&amp;H (That’s Roope, Farnhill, Beech &amp; Hostler to you).
