From Google Goggles to Omni Science

Google has created an interesting new product for Android-based mobile devices called Google Goggles, which allows you to do visual searches based on images your phone's camera captures. Needless to say, this is just one more step on the long road to the visual search revolution, as described in Pop Apocalypse. It's all happening right on schedule, and each incremental step will seem -- as this does! -- real neat when it happens.

About Me

I'm a novelist, scholar of postwar fiction, and ACLS New Faculty Fellow at Princeton University.

I am currently working on a literary history that investigates changing countercultural conceptions of irony from Ralph Ellison to David Foster Wallace.

My first novel, Pop Apocalypse, was published by Ecco/HarperCollins in 2009.

My second novel, Hamsterstan, is in progress.

I blog pretty regularly over at Arcade.

@laurenfklein If I were really trying to show off my nerd street cred I would've said we're watching "24" Day 4: 12:00 a.m.-1:00 a.m. Hm... http://twitter.com/#!/lkonstan 18 hours ago

Teaching "24" s04e18 in my 9/11 class tomorrow. Pleased that what I thought were hours of not working turn out to've been work all along. http://twitter.com/#!/lkonstan 19 hours ago
@sselisker @hujane A lot of the essays from Sianne's new project are already available in early forms--in Critical Inquiry and PMLA. http://twitter.com/#!/lkonstan 2012/02/04
@sselisker @hujane I thought of Sianne's book, too. Love the cover. http://twitter.com/#!/lkonstan 2012/02/04
Does Berlant's "Cruel Optimism" have the best academic book cover ever? Other competitors for best academic cover? http://t.co/S9AEjMYy http://twitter.com/#!/lkonstan 2012/02/04
