Grist for the minds' mills 
| | Most or all of the projects on this page here were on display by those working on them. I wish I'd had more time to spend with more of them. |
| | The closing keynote by Willard McCarty was just outstanding. Go down to "What's going on?". Plenary lecture, "Countries, Cultures, Communication: Digital Innovation at UCLA" [X], Institute for Digital Research and Education, University of California at Los Angeles, 10 May [X], [X]. ... and download the last two items. Those are his text and the slides that go with them. I don't know how many times he said "There is work to be done", but it was a lot — and it wasn't enough. |
Stronger medicine
| | Helen is one of the strongest, wittiest and hard-hitting writers I've run across. I will strive not to manufacture an identity solely from the cultural items and/or hard goods I consume — is one quotable line amongst many. |
Quote du jour
| | Leland Maschmeyer: Let¹s shift (oh let¹s say ~25% of our postings) from ³what we¹re thinking about² to ³what we¹re doing about it.² Let¹s talk a little less about ³what should/could work,² and a little more about ³why it did/didn¹t work.² Let¹s learn from each other¹s successes and failures in implementing our thinking. |
Virtual is free. Being there costs ya.
| | "A lot of the routine stuff we do can be done by really talented people in another time zone at much lower wages," said Macpherson, 51, who used to run a clothing business with manufacturing help from Vietnam and India. |
| | So, on the Indian version of Craigslist, he posted an ad that said in part, "We do not believe that geographic distance between California and India will present unsurmountable problems, and that working together with you will result in your development of a keen working knowledge of this city's affairs." |
| | Dozens replied. One of the two chosen had attended the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. Rob Gunnison, the director of school affairs there, is dismayed. "It just seems so fundamental to journalism to be there," Gunnison said. "I still can't quite believe it's not a hoax." |
| | The mileage may vary, but I'll bet the factage varies less. |
| | Dan Gillmor: Local bloggers could do it better, and have the advantage of, uh, being there. |
What you mash is what you get
| | Just put this tabblo together: |
| | Testing to see how it works. Good, it does. |
| | Those are mashed at Tabblo from Flickr sets here and here. |
