Glti.ch Karaoke in the flesh! This is a lecture, performance and intellectual escapade all rolled into one. Watch Daniel and Kyoung chat, fail, sing and fail some more. And the crowd go wild…

Check out some of the other, superb, glitchy lectures and performances, via YouTube and Flickr. And thanks once again to Antonio Roberts and everyone at Gli.tc/h for their incredible hospitality and FAILURE foresight.

<![CDATA[The Shadow Scholar]]> http://chronicle.com/article/article-content/125329/

In the past year, I've written roughly 5,000 pages of scholarly literature, most on very tight deadlines. But you won't find my name on a single paper.

I&#039;ve written toward a master&#039;s degree in cognitive psychology, a Ph.D. in sociology, and a handful of postgraduate credits in international diplomacy. I&#039;ve worked on bachelor&#039;s degrees in hospitality, business administration, and accounting. I&#039;ve written for courses in history, cinema, labor relations, pharmacology, theology, sports management, maritime security, airline services, sustainability, municipal budgeting, marketing, philosophy, ethics, Eastern religion, postmodern architecture, anthropology, literature, and public administration. I&#039;ve attended three dozen online universities. I&#039;ve completed 12 graduate theses of 50 pages or more. All for someone else.

You&#039;ve never heard of me, but there&#039;s a good chance that you&#039;ve read some of my work. I&#039;m a hired gun, a doctor of everything, an academic mercenary. My customers
