Curse my laziness. I should have done that to begin with. I’m moving over to Typepad because of the attrocious response time here at Blogsome. Hopefully, paying a bit will mean better response time over there. Although I ... http://opposablemind.blogsome.com/2005/12/26/weve-moved/ I like checking out the meme-space when I get a notion of a new flavor of idea. Context Management System is something that popped into my head recently, and a google turned up this post. I’m not even sure that it has the same perspective that I do on ... http://opposablemind.blogsome.com/2005/12/20/context-management-system-cxms/ Last week I enjoyed having breakfast with Charlie Wood, a fellow Vignette alum. I’ve been working on communicating the ideas and visions I see on the net for the past year or so, and it’s a nice change have someone show recognition on the other side of the table instead ... http://opposablemind.blogsome.com/2005/12/20/churnin-and-burnin/ I’ve bought my copy of Kurzweil’s new book, but haven’t cracked the cover… yet. It’s definitely on my must read list. After watching him speak at this years Accelerating Change, I look at the singularity a bit differently. I’ve basically been a singularity nerd my whole life. How exactly I ... http://opposablemind.blogsome.com/2005/12/06/rethinking-the-singularity/ I got a hunch to go back and reread Dan Pink’s “A Whole New Mind.” When I came to the part where he talks about the R-directed cultural creatives who insist on seeing the big picture, I paused to reflect. 20 Million of these folks in the US? That’s about ... http://opposablemind.blogsome.com/2005/11/24/where-are-the-cultural-creatives/ Roland Tanglao has an excellent presentation of RSS Remixing. Listen to the podcast, particularly to the questions at the end; there’s an application that wants to be born. What we really want to do is improve the signal to noise ratio. As communication becomes cheaper and more efficient, the volume of ... http://opposablemind.blogsome.com/2005/11/22/rss-remixing/ At the Accelerating Change conference in September, I met Linda Groff and we had a wonderful conversation about the relationship between the coming singularity and spiritual intelligence. It was just a short conversation between talks, but clearly we had some common ground. One of the topics in that brief conversation ... http://opposablemind.blogsome.com/2005/11/14/wfs-panel-presentation/ Reading up on the librarians take on this issue gave me pause to think further on the consequences of the shift toward enabling the general population to find any information that is available. After reading this particular entry I added my own perspective, which is as follows: I would argue that ... http://opposablemind.blogsome.com/2005/11/12/libriarians-vs-googlezon/ Things are moving fast in the world these days, so I’ll step with brisk caution. Nothing fancy in this first post using the Flock web access platform (as they say, ‘browser’ is so inadequate to describe what web users do these days). I’m using the developer pre-prerelease of Flock. I’d heard ... http://opposablemind.blogsome.com/2005/10/24/first-flock-post/ Opposable Thumb to Opposable Mind: Grasping Our Situation by Shifting Our Consciousness. I’m a big picture guy. I tend to spread out in an absurdly wide breadth-first way to try to find the commonalities in everything. Kind of like trying to wrap my arms around the universe.
