Have you ever just googled two random words? I put in serendipity and discovery, not so random if you sit down and think about it. The Curies made many discoveries through one serendipitous event, louis pasteur, i think the DNA guys too had a revelation of sorts. Serendipity brings up images of mystical revelations, chance occurrences and blind luck. So why would i google that with discovery?The

I read a really good (and slighly scathing) article over at New York Times yesterday about microsoft and Steve Ballemer's conspicuously optimistic claims about the future of Macrosoft. The dominating force of computing can no longer be called Micro anything, they are a Macro company, they have software products in every realm of computing; desktop, online, music/music players, mobile, search,

In 5 years i'll be 30. What do i need to have accomplished by 30? Where in life do i want to be at 30? 30 is the gateway to the rest of your life.By 30 i need to have found my groove. finding that groove in life lets you really get the most out of your investment of time and energy and in my mind is the fountain head of high reward for your internal and external goals. ok. So where is my groove?

Bear with me, I know Tim Berners-Lee should probably stick to writing code and thinking up ideas rather than public speaking. BUT, behind that spastic trying to say it all at once geeky facade, he is scratching at an incredible concept; linked data. Giving open access to data collected by various organizations for the sole purpose of cross reference. Tim is right, linking data gives it context,

I'm a nerd. I was surfing around getting different opinions on Google Voice and ATT's new claim against the service, and ran across Google's public policy blog which i am diggin (but not on Digg).

Reposted from Blog Maverickmark cuban is one of my favorite blog personalities, hands down; Had this to say about Pres-Elect Obama's Economic Advisory Team.Its great to see President Elect Obama aggressively taking on the economy prior to his taking office. Unfortunately, the economic advisory team that he has put together looks more like a semester’s worth of great guest speakers for an MBA

I WAS going to talk a little about web 2.0 and the new definition of culture and direction of ethnography. Maybe another day, it's politics time."Are you gonna VOTE, dawg? Regardless of peoples intentions to vote there is a bit of a feeling of relief, how ever unjustified it is right now, it exists. The push to vote, it seems has never been higher, but our drive to vote seems generally the same.

I don't know if i've ever posted this before.But if you are reading my blog then it's probably of some interest.The digital ethnography of the web.The web enables us to group around our cultural slants and many of these slants or orientations are available across the socio-political-racial cultures that we have thus far defined.

Flyers are a really interesting and fundamental part of marketing. Flyers are generally used at events to promote for events where as people use business cards to promote their organization, business, website etc. Duh right? you run into someone and they say, "hey we've got this going on then, here a flyer" and you're like "is this your party?" and "they are like yeah check me out "and hand you a

Untill very recently magazines have functioned in a unidirectional kind of way, it was and still is a business of magazines publishers running as and marketing campaigns for the advertisers found within them.
