Rhizomorphic

Rhizomorphic is the homepage and lifestream of J. F. Pickard.

A research associate at the University of London, Pickard's work focuses on the intersection of technology, politics, and everyday life.

He also dabbles in freelance journalism, pervasive games, and speculative fiction.

Highlight of the last 2 days:

Encountering a full-size airship hovering over the Sussex countryside!  Missed out on a photo, but dad picked up its GML ID on his new phone.  Running that through the operator’s website, we identified our blimp as an unmanned (!) freight handler, trafficking a payload from France via Shoreham.  Sadly (if unsurprisingly), the cargo was one data point which wasn’t publicly available.

Lowlight:

On my return, being informed that the co-op exec had rejected the smart meter proposal as “an uneconomical use of resources”.
