Vienna – Week 18 photo (mini-)dump
Smaller than usual photo dump this week, but I anticipate next week will be much bigger. The “Philly” cheesesteak pictured here was always going to be a mistake. One simply does not expect anything called a “cheesesteak” made outside of the Delaware Valley to taste like the real thing. But I was surprised enough to […]
Vienna – Week 17 photo dump
This week includes an “incredible” skirt worn by Lady Gaga that, at least to my eye, doesn’t look even mildly special, as well as a rare Gutenberg solar eclipse.
Vienna – Week 16 photo dump
A very full week began with 2.5 days of intense, provocative, productive conversations about AI and free speech of expression (courtesy of the Milton Wolf seminar hosted at the DA) and ended with 2.5 hours of less productive, but enjoyable and powerful in their own way, samples of excellent adult beverages (courtesy of the Vienna […]

What I can offer instead, though, are some similarly random numbers […]
Klagenfurt – bonus photo dump
I’m freshly back in Vienna from a quick, but very enjoyable, visit to Klagenfurt, where Matthias Wieser was kind enough to invite me to speak to his undergrad “Introduction to Cultural Studies” course. There were also enjoyable meals and drinks with Rainer Winter and some sharp grad students . . . and some fresh images […]

Vienna – Week 11 photo dump
This week featuring a statue of a man punching a horse!
Time flies
The Diplomatische Akademie Wien runs on a trimester system, which is a teaching rhythm that doesn’t quite match any other I’ve ever experienced. Back in Minneapolis, UMN is on spring[sic] break this week, and the semester is roughly at its halfway point. Here, though, my “Digital Culture and Technology” seminar meets for the last time […]
