Maybe it’s post US election / brexit hangover information / fake news fatigue. Or the end of the year wind down. Or something else. But I sense changes into the online space I have inhabited the most for the last 9 years. A chunk of the public discussion and banter I enjoy has maybe slipped […]
I’m getting ready to leave Tuesday for another trip to Guadalajara for the UDG Agora project as well as getting to spend some time visiting Ken Bauer.
