| | That's the approximate number of AT&T telemarketing calls I've received in the last 24 hours. I'm losing track. |
| | It's also (I just discovered) the number of pounds I gained in New Yawk. Back to the old discipline... |
Blogging business
| | One of the things I've noticed is that blogging requires an abundance mentality. I've also noted that blogs encourage a culture of candor. How do you develop a culture that supports sharing? Are the cultural properties that support blogging the same ones that support building a first rate IT organization? |
| | I see a business here. Not sure what it is, but I see one. |
| | One perspective: Bizblogs are the new corporate newsletters. |
AOL+MSN=?
Duh, cont'd
| | I stupidly went back in time and originally posted the next two items to yesterday's blog by mistake. If you pointed (hardly any need) to either one, make the correction. Sorry about that. |
You read it here last
| | Waggy Dog Stories is a nice one by Paul Krugman in the NYTimes today. Here's a new initialism for ya: RIBISA: Read it before it scrolls it away. |
Funny as the hell it actually depicts
| | Andy Guthridge of Savannah, GA, is among the estimated 240 million Americans unaware of the sweeping package of civil-liberties curtailments, voting-privilege re-qualifications, and mandatory relocation of the working poor to the Dakotas. |
Frontiers of Fun
| | Earlier this week in New York we were talking about children and school and play and the pervasions of television. Somewhere in there my wife dropped a one-liner that I haven't been able to get out of my mind since: |
| | Fun is what we do for ourselves. Everything else is just entertainment. |
| | Go to the homesite - Alterfin - and click on "org" - note the title "Art & Play"- mouse and click around a bit and you'll get a good sense of how this one artist, Yariv Alter Fin, pursues the art-play connection. For further evidence, see this collection of QuickTime clips . Alter Fin even extends the art-play exploration into poetry with " This is My Voice." |
| | I shot a lot of pictures in New York, and had a good time working and hanging out there. I especially enjoyed learning about the simple yet highly subversive stuff Drazen Pantic is up to (we had long conversations over coffee at the near-perfect — the free wi-fi was down — Cafe Cafe in SoHo). On the plane coming back I had fun thinking about ways to journal up the whole excursion. Not sure what will come of it, but I'll letcha know. |
