On Friday in Signposts, my colleague Peter at Adaptive Path announced my new-but-mighty blog to the AP community. It was positioned as “the musings of a scarily synthetic thinker.” I’m either flattered or not. I choose to be flattered. Thanks, Peter! Visit Peter at peterme.com. [Note: earlier version of the post mentioned Dan, who has a nifty [...]

Lord give me an open mind and a crowbar
March 19th, 2007 · No Comments · random thoughts
Hmmm. I’m in a quandary. I received a galley copy of The Cult of the Amateur from a friend who attended the TED conference, and my open mind is in question. The book is a screed of Web 2.0 and the values it promotes (provokes?) including: participatory online culture, social networking, self-published contribution to bodies [...]

Just never, never ask me to recite the multiplication tables for 6 or 8. It’s just not gonna happen. [...]

Sometimes (okay…more than sometimes) when all the plates are spinning and deadlines loom, I can get a bit…frazzled. This is not a good thing.

For the last 6 months, I’ve had a very rich and full inner blog. Seriously, I’d be walking along and think of something and press “publish” in my head. But not on my domain. My website was still just the sameoldsameold I’ve had for years, and to be honest, I kinda liked it that way. But [...]
