We are Diminished

I’ve been away from posting for a while, not so much depression as a sense of being lost, and absorbed in the literary.  I’ve been reading McCarthy’s Border Trilogy, which seems to argue by demonstration that art, or writing, or perhaps beauty can despite all logic hold against the random meanness of the world.

Personal Branding

Chris Brogan says this is a free the book; I’m not completely sure 15 pages counts is a book, however, they are some of the smartest 15 pages that I’ve read and a longtime.  It may be a little over a detailed if you’re not already pretty web savvy, but read it anyway.

Lively

While IBM and Linden Labs have teamed up to teleport across virtual worlds, Google has entered the arena with Lively. I’m tempted to say, “Too young,” but then again I’m not sure what ‘old enough’ would look like. There’s not as much depth as Second Life, but on the plus side it’s easier to [...]
