kevin kelly -- home year 2007: current passions, incidental details i am still writing my next book which is about what technology wants. i'm posting my thoughts in-progress on the technium, a semi-blog. six years ago i began a non-profit foundation to help catalog all the living species on earth. part of that project was to make a unique web page for every one of the 1.8 million species science knows about. as we discover and name additional species of the 100 million others probably living on this planet, we'll give them a page too. we raised $1 million to start the all species inventory, but did not get very far. the foundation is currently moribund, but thankfully others have taken on the vision and are making it happen. recently the macarthur and sloan foundations, together with the smithsonian institution, announced that they will be funding the encyclopedia of life (eol) -- a web page for every species. e.o. wilson, who was on our board and who has been talking about similar goals, is the visible spokesperson for the eol and articulates this essential vision very well. it's a relief to have such capable professional biologists working on this collective grand mission -- to discover, name and describe all the life on earth in the next 25 years. i've been working hard on two graphic novels to be published by a major new york publisher, but because they are a year overdue, i am reluctant to say anything about them. other than i am learning a lot about fiction. the long now foundation (i am a board member) hosts a public seminar each month feature a talk on long term thinking. past speakers include brian eno, paul hawken, jared diamond, danny hillis, among the better known, and many other equally talented original thinkers. i co-host the evening with stewart brand. they happen approximately every second friday of the month at a venue in san francisco, often fort mason. if you are in the neighborhood, please join us. the talks are free. in order to explore the future of publishing, i've been dabbling in crafting two other blogs, or electronic magazines. one is a solo effort to record the way in which people actually use technology versus how engineers imagined it would be used. you can see the collection of artifacts at street use. the second publication is an experiment in collaborative blogging. i am one of about 30 authors posting daily items of interest to geek dads. you know, very nerdy fathers who like to build model airplanes and do science experiments, or buy expensive gadgets, using their kid's education as an excuse. we are publishing this love at geekdad, a blog operated under the wired banner. i've been indulging my passion for documentaries by reviewing the best ones available on dvd (at consumer prices) on my true films website. there's a book version, available in a variety of formats, from paperback to pdf file. the latest edition is called true films 2.0. i am still an incurable magazine junkie. i remain the senior maverick for wired, a magazine i helped co-found a decade ago. my most recent published writings are listed here, in chronological order. a couple of years ago i was granted my 15 seconds of second-hand hollywood fame. this short edited video clip from the matrix revisited (the making of the matrix) has keanu reeves recounting how each actor had to read my book out of control (and 2 other books) before they could open the original script. there is a series of interviews with me on the "the roots of the matrix: hard science" disk in the 10-disk dvd ultimate matrix collection series. my further doings are outlined comprehensively in this narrative. my history is covered in this chronology. details are summarized in this biography. this page was last modified on thursday, august 09, 2007.
