the Morton factor

Very glad to have Tim Morton aboard. He’s only been an OOO convert since June, so he wasn’t even on radar for the Atlanta event in April.

What I found yesterday was that Morton is not only an excellent speaker, but a hilarious one. And his new polemical phrase “lava-lampy materialism” deserves to be as widespread as “correlationism”.

Morton’s also a fellow old-timer to join me on the porch in a rocking chair, born in ’68 just like me. The youngsters Ian and Levi provide the energy and exuberance, while Tim and I impart the stern, grey-haired lessons of time.
