"… as we think about creating public spaces, what’s the meeting point for our conversations? Is it MySpace or Facebook? Twitter or IRC? What you choose matters. Where you and your colleagues hang out matters. The “voices” of the Internet that you get are biased by the people who are in the places that you hang out. But do you know this? Do you account for it? Are you working to represent all people or just the people that you can see and hear? When you’re trying to reach out to people, are you trying to reach out to all people or just the people in the environments that you understand? Are you embracing difference or are you only taking into account that with which you are comfortable?"

The Value of Decay: My Old Blog.
The Broken Gentleman, my old website, has been completely static for the last month, other than updating links, and a few visits to older content. Every month, I get my google analytics email, and recognize that, until recently, it was a living thing.
It’s gone from a place of thought and action to something of a mausoleum, keeping a safe home for the ideas that will never go anywhere, the ones that are in stasis, and the lucky few that became something. Watching traffic diminish is oddly inspiring, it’s a reminder that the life of the thing was entirely my effort and ideas.
Watching things decay isn’t normally considered a motivation, and I’m certain this is a mistake. Decay inspires fear. Fear inspires action. Put in a crassly commercial context, people buy clothings to look good, but they also buy clothing due to fear of looking bad.
Worth pondering: the motivational value of showing people decay.

An interesting site and project discussing a future without money. What will it be like?
We are envisioning a new world where today’s aging, less useful and even dangerous financial systems
are replaced by or mixed with more disruptive innovations and exchanges. Imagine yourself deprived of all of today’s financial resources. Maybe you’re a refugee or stateless. Yet you still have your handset and laptop and Internet and a broadband cellphone connection….

Importance of imagination :
creation of worlds….not simply the consumption of worlds.
