TCLP 2011-02-16 Post Peak Computing

This is a feature cast, an episode of The Command Line Podcast.

In the intro, I urge you to help listener Nick pitch a talk about his journal at the unconference, on Sunday, that will be part of Students for Free Culture this weekend.

The hacker word of the week this week is FIXME.

The feature this week is a monologue positing an answer to listener Jed’s question about the shape of computing in a post peak resource world. In the feature, I mention the Wired’s brief article on peak everything and Wikipedia article on bioplastics.
