Scott McCloud, comic guru, has a site he calls Morning Improv: “One hour each day, whatever comes into my head.” It’s not formatted as a blog, because each morning’s comic has its own page (there is, however, a bloggish compilation of links to go with the comics) but the idea of setting oneself a task and publishing the results at regular intervals is certainly bloggish. What task would you set yourself?

I’m a visiting scholar at the University of Chicago this year, affiliated with the Center for Applied AI at Booth School of Business. I’m excited about the opportunity to learn from a different disciplinary approach to AI and machine vision. I discovered […]
I’m giving a talk at an actual f2f academic conference today, Critical Borders, Radical Re(visions) of AI, in Cambridge. I was particularly excited to see this conference because it’s organised by the people who edited AI Narratives A History of Imaginative Thinking […]

I’ve been meaning for some time to start forcing myself to write and post a piece of flash fiction each morning, something sparked by the first blog post I read that day. But it hasn’t happened yet because I’m lazy.

When I was young and pretentious, I forced myself to write poetry and/or fiction just when getting up in the morning – some of it was ok, some of it wasn’t. A brilliant exercise since it deprograms you from the romantic notion that in order to create anything, you have to be “inspired”.

3D characters…. I want to make faces… but for that, I ned Maya, and for that again, I need XP on my pc, and for that again… but it will happen! Does anyone have, by the way, any preferences on 3d software for the mac?

20 Lines a Day was one idea … along these lines … and Bradbury used to write drafts in the morning that he’d later revise (not directly publish), saying “Throw up in your typewriter every morning. Clean up every noon.”
