Blogger Fodder: What It Means to Be Human

David Byrne is a rad, rad dude.  Back in the late 70s and then into the 80s and 90s he was part of the seminal art-punk-new-wave group, Talking Heads.


And then later he did a ton of other cool stuff.

He got kind of obsessed with PowerPoint for a while, seeing it as a way to create powerful art if only it was used to do so.  He really hates slideshows.  Here he talks about technology.
