  • Time to think (revisited)

    Harjj Taggar removed email from his iPhone. Some choice quotes: Having time to think is precious to me and it’s also incredibly important if you want to achieve anything close to original thought. … Once I realized the power of this I went on to delete more than just email. Facebook, Twitter and Quora apps…

  • If you are moving DO NOT use Universal Truck Rental

    If you are moving DO NOT use Universal Truck Rental. They want you to spend your time maintaining their vehicles, and pay for the privilege. The deal with these guys is that rather than having the overhead of a full truck depot, they have single trucks sprinkled across self storage facilities across Canada. Universal does…

    A friend has abandoned Twitter. He is pretty early, but I suspect he is at the front of a potentially huge geek wave. I know what it is like to leave a platform. It can be tough, but there are a plethora of communication tools for the Internet. I moved to Twitter as my main…

  • Steven B Johnson’s new book on the internet and politics

    I have read a number of his works, including Emergence: And so, over time, a book I had written about social insects and video games and software algorithms started to feel more and more like a book about politics… I look forward to this book and hope it goes beyond the aspect of political organization…

  • [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-wshk4DYLM?feature=oembed&w=500&h=281] I watched this live on the internet using the JPL feed and a real-time 3D Java animation of Curiosity status (thanks to dragosr). It was amazingly dramatic. I think that NASA has done an excellent job in public relations for this mission. I mean, how awesome was the 7 Minutes of Terror video?…
