I’m sure the old white hairs who pull the strings at Big Business sit back in the leather chairs of the country club, and fondly remember the pre-internet days. Back then, customers had no easy access to information about companies their practices, and they sure could not publish their pesky complaints to a place where […]
A Cheap Lynnetter Knockoff posted 3 Jul ’07, 12.04am MDT PST on flickr Play is integral to this thing we call "work" in the new net space, not bounded by walls, old rules of behavior, etc. Where is the carefully drawn line between work and play? Dr Angela Thomas recognizes this dynamic of pleasure and […]
most people over 30 have trouble grasping why would want digital version of yourself posted 15 Dec ’06, 6.51am MST PST on flickr There used to be all this talk of the “digital divide” and it was between the haves & the have-nots in terms of what they could afford. But I think there is […]
It’s Monday, and I do not have an iPhone. The forecast is more of the same, for a long time. The mania, pro/con commentary is impressive for the sheer amount of energy generated/expended. Seriously, when was the time people camped out for a phone (yes, I know it is more than a phone)? And there […]

And vavoom, todays inbox has about 6 more friends notifications; of them maybe one I know and added.
