This review of Bladerunner (1982) is pretty great:

This Future Looks Familiar: Watching…

I watched Blade Runner for the first time this week. Since I have apparently been living in a cave for the past few decades, I thought that Blade Runner was kind of like Tron but with more Harrison…

Tor.com

I re-read the book recently and noticed a number of references to slavery that I missed before. Particularly the TV advertisement playing in Isidore's apartment at the beginning of chapter two.

I'll be DJing live on aNONradio in about 25 minutes.

DJ Kumata's recent fondness for Dub & Reggae has inspired me to play Dubstep tonight. I don't have a lot of it, though, so we'll see how this turns out.

I finished reading a book today, "Spin State" by Chris Moriarty. Very much enjoyed it.

It's a kind of posthuman hard sci-fi mystery thing. A kitchen sink of genre elements and interests. The "hard sci-fi" didn't interest me, but the posthuman theme did.

It really pulled me along, page after page. It's been a while since I've had that experience with a book.

And it's got two sequels, which I'll definitely pick up.

I'll be playing music on aNONradio tonight, in about 30 minutes.

I'm going to play another hour of Electro tonight. Some things I didn't get to over the summer, some things I've been listening to recently.

Listen here: anonradio.net/listen/ .

I'll be DJing live on aNONradio in about 30 minutes.

I think I'm going to relax tonight and play some electro tunes. A few recent purchases and some old mid-2000s stuff.

Apparently Oracle recently let go of most of the engineers still working on Solaris.

The sudden death and eternal life of Solaris

As had been rumored for a while, Oracle effectively killed Solaris on Friday.

dtrace.org

I suppose the things to take away from that article are: Illumos & SmartOS are still around, Solaris technologies survive, and Oracle is terrible. (All of which I've heard before. From Cantrill, even.)

On one hand, I'm sad to see Solaris end this way; on the other, I'm glad the technology survives, even if the name doesn't.
