Quiet Babylon is written and edited by Tim Maly.

You should follow me on Twitter @doingitwrong and you can email me at tim@quietbabylon.com. I’d love to hear from you.

I live in Canada and split my time between Toronto and Montreal with the occasional jaunt to Vancouver. My work has appeared in McSweeney’s, East of the Web, Icon, and Volume Magazine.

I occasionally give talks at conferences and seminars relating to my current interests (cyborgs, architects, new optimism, and our weird future). Feel free to contact me if you are interested in having me speak at your event.

Recent appearances

• BookcampTO 2010: a talk about Literate Games.
• Columbia University GSAPP: round table on Glacier/Island/Storm.
• SLCC 2009: Demonstration of the Meerkat virtual worlds client.
• Public Service Alliance of Canada: workshop on using the Internet to mobilize membership.

Other work

I’m one of the co-founders of Capybara Games, Ryan North and I created Project Wonderful (he did all the heavy lifting). These days I’m working on education using virtual worlds with Pleiades and making financially sustainable art with Public Recordings.

Sites

In case you ended up here other than through the site, you can find my work at quietbabylon.com, quotes and images at mini.quietbabylon.com. I feel very strongly that you should unlink your feeds. I’m an occasional contributor at Bookfuturism and Futurismic.
