Just a thought 
| | Business revolutions happen whenever demand acquires the power to supply. |
Staffing the New Journalism
| | Got a movement that needs a writer? Blogs aren't a bad place to start looking. Dig Downwrite, for example. |
What sluiceway pays you to flow content?
| | I just got an email survey that asked me questions about the "media outlets" I work for, and how often they "disseminate information." Ack. |
And he writes real good too
| | J.D.: If you're a social being, I can't imagine not being online. |
His purr is worse than his byte
Ouch
| | And Buzz and I will be in Durham a week from today to see Duke beat St. John's. Count on it. |
A little too alive and a little too well
| | When asked the purpose for starting his conservative journal, National Review, William F. Buckley answered, "To stand athwart history, yelling 'Stop!'" According to this Salon piece, that's the approximate effect of the patent reform movement on patent reform. |
| | One encouraging pointer in the piece is to Larry Lessig's Creative Commons. Read more about it here. |
Speaking of sources
Since patents are a problem of the human condition, maybe this one can relieve us of itself
| | The present invention relates to the creation and use of synthetic forms of existence, or androids, and more specifically relates to the development of a universal epistemological machine in which any forms of the universe, conventional technologies included, are represented, embodied and realized as eternal moments of an infinitely expanding continuum of enabled existential forms, as an alternative approach to resolving the problems of the human condition. |
| | Thanks for this and other good stuff goes to David HM Spector, whose depth of knowing on many inventions (especially around radio) is impressive. |
Freightening
| | On the top of the Books section of today's Santa Barbara News-Press is a picture of Ronanld J. Boehm, CEO of ABC Clio. Beside the picture is a mini-headline, "PageTurners" over "The Cluetrain Manifesto :the End of Business as Usual, by Christopher Locke." And below that, a long quote from the guy, who says the book "opened his eyes" and stuff. |
| | I'd quote it, but the kid is leaning on me and whining something about going out. |
Bombrolling
| | This, my friends, is some serious shit. |
| | I agree. There's no better bombastard than The Man himself. |
| | Which reminds me that I owe three reviews: two to Chris and one to Dr. Weinberger. I also need to get going on my own damn book. |
Civilian spin-offs
| | Here's Jim Fallows in The Atlantic on how "open source resources" and other useful nonsecretive technologies are turning the tide of secondary benefits from military-to-civilian to civilian-to-military. |
Packets laying around all over the place, and now they're getting wet.
| | The Net was down again, from before midnight until a few minutes ago (it's about 9am). Lots of other stuff is still screwy. |
