I made it onto the Rachel Maddow show tonight! (Thanks, Kossacks, for the messages.) There is a nice spot about Scott Walker, and Thanksgiving... that everybody likes it except for the turkey. He is, of course, the turkey. (Excellent extended metaphor, Rachel, brilliant as always!). She cuts to yours truly holding aloft the LED sign that Kossack Badscience and I made for the darkness of our shortening Wisconsin days. The ensuing stills and video footage were taken by Badscience.
I love the remediation loop of this: the Rachel show downloads the Kos diary, edits it according to her narrative needs, and broadcasts it. I, in turn, download the Rachel show and edit it according to my narrative needs and repost it. From Kos to Rachel citing Kos to Kos citing Rachel citing Kos... Classic remediation! But OH NO! ...I have just ripped a hole in the space-time continuum! I'm lost in a nowhere loop!
Time for bed. There is a lot going on here right now - including a massive action tomorrow afternoon on a bridge over the freeway where I hope to have my sign hover like a specter in the night.
If I ever get back from my nowhere loop I'll post a cohesive instructable about making the sign for those who have asked.
