Blog the law 
Hack your body
| | Still 25 pounds down and holding. |
Tried it on my armpits and now I'm levitating
Remaking the points
| | At one point Nick says This isn't your usual powerpoint slides put up on the web... Others have remarked positively about the way I use visuals in my talks. Here's an explanation of what I'm up to with that. It's old, but it still applies (even if you're not using PowerPoint, which I don't much anymore). |
Dig wider
| | Marc Canter: Mobloging. I think the whole idea rocks. |
| | And forgive me for being a broken record on this, but I think digital identity services are what we need to make it really rock in the big/right way. |
| | [Later...] Another bonus: I'm told Bret Fausett says ICANN offers an answer. Don't knock it. Apply for the job. |
And maybe sublimation and subsitution too
| | I have become convinced that all of the technology that allows people to be accessible anywhere, day or night, actually allows us to avoid being found in the first place. With cellphones, pages, PDAs, voicemail, email, and everything in-between you would think that you could track down people in a moments notice if you really need to. But in reality people either turn the things off, screen their calls, or let everything and everyone sit in voicemail limbo. Technology has allowed people to become even more passive aggressive than they already were to begin with. In the past you might actually have to confront someone or be confronted about a problem or issue, but now you can just pick and choose who gets to see the wizard. |
| | Not sure about the passive aggressive thing... I think avoidance and intellectualization are equally operative defense mechanisms. In any case, a point well made. |
Email hell, cont'd
| | I've got some of the king's horses and men on the Humpty case, but he's still not together again. |
| | Both my local geek friends and Norton tech support tell me to send the drive to DriveSavers, which estimates $1700 to recover my erased email files. I'm tempted. |
| | By the way, there's good stuff over in the Discussion section, including Hanan's suggestion I use IMAP instead of POP (which I will after I get this thing solved, and I've moved to a new host as well). |
