A quick update on the MemeFactory book:

- We’re working through the legal questions of image use.

- We’re checking all our citations and making them consistently formatted.

- We’re double checking chapters written separately to make sure we don’t contradict or repeat ourselves.

- We’re assembling outside contributors’ contributions.

Computers linked other technologies to human beings by constituting systems-constituting them conceptually, practically, and metaphorically-as information processors. They created a closed world of semiotic values in which future wars could be imagined, their soldiers trained, and their outcomes deduced. Yet the world of computer simulations was more than a game. For unlike the chess-style war games of previous eras, computer-age commanders could engage in simulations using equipment that not only resembled, but sometimes actually was, the equipment used for real war. The closed world within the machine, and the closed world of real strategy it supported, blurred together in an intricately woven, discursively constituted whole.

Assembling images for the book requires that we have a system for tracking sources and duplicates. Easier to keep a folder for each image rather than just an image.

One of the chapters in the book is about folk culture as it might relate and map directly onto internet culture, which is an idea gaining some traction more and more these days. One of the topics touched upon briefly are technology related folk remedies (think: blowing into an NES cartridge).
Auntie Pixelante’s Purification Ritual for Computers takes this idea a step or two further.
