Rheingold: Clever Critic or Martian Anthropologist?

February 12, 2008 at 2:21 pm (Interesting Side Discussions)

I hate to deluge the site with weird stuff, but well, this was too important to leave off. Howard Rheingold, author of one of the illustrious chapters we read last week, apparently has a . . . creative side. He writes on his blog:

In 1976, Jim Neidhardt put one of the first Sony Portapaks in a backpack and used a telephoto lens. Equipped with a radiomike, Howard Rheingold roamed the streets of the San Francisco Bay Area, posing as Howard K. Martian, extraterrestrial anthropologist.

You can watch his adventures here.
