zed equals zee started as a straghtforward music blog, but I very quickly realized that my interest was at the intersection of music, culture, and technology, and while there's a lot of writing at the intersection of each pair, there's relatively little where all three meet.
Some of my favorite essays:
- How to disappear (almost) completely: On how artists are hiding from Google searches, and why they might want to do so.
- So, why is indie music so white?: In which I draw parallels between the indie music scene and being a woman in engineering.
- On a world of distributed Medicis: The role of crowdfunding in supporting a diversity of music.
- Pay-for-downloads and self-fulfilling prophecies: Experimenting with the effect of social pressures on making music popular.
The blog was active for about five years (2007 to 2012), and also has a companion Tumblr of quick posts.
