Stewart Brand is a Dirty Old Man

I’ve always admired Stewart Brand–he’s a heck of a writer, a visionary and a founding member of the digerati. He’s also one of the founders behind my favourite non-profit. So, I was interested in read what he had to say in his weblog, Beyond the Beyond.

You know what? Mostly it’s photos of foreign chicks. I exaggerate a bit, but he’s written a lot about divas from around the world. Scroll down the page and check it out for yourself. I’m not objecting, really, but I was a bit surprised by his subject matter. I guess I was expecting more screeds on 10,000-year-old technology or the like.

Brian Eno, who Brand converses with quite a bit (or at least used to) has a similar preoccupation, as described in his book, a year with swollen appendices.
