Jamais Cascio is a San Francisco Bay Area-based writer and ethical futurist. He joins me today to talk about our growing reliance on online social networks and the net in general as forms of identity management.

Forgive me Father - it’s been at least two weeks since my last podcast.
I figured you guys needed some time to digest my last run of shows. Ready for more yet?
Another show on the coming of the technological singularity today. My guest is Eliezer Yudkowsky, co-founder and research fellow at the Singularity Institute [...]
Peter Ellyard and I were talking recently about the field of “biomimicry” and so I was excited to see that episode #2 of our Nick’s new CleanTech podcast on TPN has an interview about that very subject. He interviews Dr. Tim Finnigan, Founder and CEO of Biopower Systems, a distributed ocean power technology company. They [...]
