The problem with ‘cyber’ as a prefix is that the media and hollywood made it a household name.

I mean, it does sorta belong to Gibson. He coined ‘cyberspace’. Donaldson called it the ‘metaverse’. And Dick never called it anything, but there were several variants of it in his novels.

I’d say cyberspace is a valid, albeit confusing, name for the ‘net. I like ‘metaverse’, personally. Even though I thought Snow Crash was a piece of unfulfilling, shoddy, hastily wrapped-up piece of crap.

But yeah… what the hell is ‘cyberart’?

I once expressed the opinion that the only people who continue to use the prefix “cyber”, after about 1999, are the media and law enforcement. It seems I left out art councils/committees. Unless you’re a byborg, cybernetic or having cybersex, drop it… for the love of bob.

Anywho, that’s none of you guys’ concern. But this is.
Happy birthday Colin!

PCU was a great flick. Kind of an updated, though granted not nearly as good, Animal House.

And it had George Clinton and the Parliament-Funkadelic in it.
