Robin Sloan's piece of redesigning one's own web existence in the face of a multitude of devices and viewports is something I have been mulling for a while.

As it turns out, we have a way to prevent gangs of humans from acting like savage packs of animals. In fact, we've developed entire disciplines based around this goal over thousands of years. We just ignore most of the lessons that have been learned when we create our communities online. But, by simply learning from disciplines like urban planning, zoning regulations, crowd control, effective and humane policing, and the simple practices it takes to stage an effective public event, we can come up with a set of principles to prevent the overwhelming majority of the worst behaviors on the Internet.

I'm not a birther -- no way do I think Obama was born in Kenya. Clearly he was a Muslim terror baby.

Sadly, yes. We banned Gray Davis and recalled gay marriage.
- Victor Ganata
So what you're saying, Victor, is you want to reinstate Gray Davis and then marry him?

The funny thing is, Schwarzenegger screwed up the state far worse than Davis did (and the Governator didn't have Enron trying to sabotage him), but we re-elected Schwarzenegger. Go figure.

Short (4:21) video of me explaining "the ethic of the link" and the news industry's indifference to it http://www.youtube.com/watch... It's grown popular.
The web is hyperlinks, hyperlinks are the web. Seems obvious to me.
- Jack&Cleo
Beyond hyperlinks, the semantic web is built from the relationships between objects or people. Links are like the connective tissue that substantiates or reifies these relationships. Great clip!

"I have a Kindle but I have to admit I have not used it yet. It sits there doing nothing and I can't figure out what I'm waiting for, but I always seem to have something else I'd rather pick up and read or watch. This might be it -- if I understood how to get content off my desktop and onto the Kindle and then onto its screen. A howto for that would help me figure it out. BTW, my name only has one "e" in it. :-)"

I sense another paradigm shift about to be midwifed (midhusbanded?) by Dave.

"Last week they had the Obamas juggling balls, and now CNN is asking: [Must Obama be better because he's black?] At least this time there’s no little icon signifying the existence of a t-shirt. Your liberal media…"
