"WIKIPEDIA, and its trustworthiness, has become a topic of considerable discussion," he writes. Indeed, it should be -- this whole Wiki-thang has been a bit Arthur 2 (i.e., "on the rocks") for a while. Eugene Volokh and Orin Kerr have been quite right in their criticisms (even though it seems that Volokh's Wikipedia entry is at least tentatively grounded in fact.) Moreover, adding to the confusion and potential for bias is the fact that you're able to write your own entry. The entry on LGF, for instance, was written by LGF's own Charles Johnson.

Naturally, people are fascinated by this question of "where's the money?" But it's the wrong question. The more interesting one is "why the money"? And it's still gonna take us a long time to get our heads around that. But that's what we're all gonna be asking at some point. The more effective the internet and the web are at helping us communicate and co-ordinate, the less money will be involved. Because ultimately the economy is a communication network and money is its protocol The network is not the means to the end of money. emmineb Fri, 16 Feb 2007 17:49:15 GMT http://www.agilemodeling.com/essays/simpleTools.htm#CASEToolCosts One of the most commonly asked questions asked by developers is “What tool(s) should we use?” Although there are as many answers to this question as people asking it, I would like to provide a few words of advice to help guide you: “Use the simplest tools possible.” Why simple tools? Simple tools are easy to learn, easy to use, and very often easy to share with others. Yes, complex tools have their place, assuming they provide the best value for your investment in them, but never underestimate the effectiveness of simple tools either.<<management>> emmineb Tue, 21 Nov 2006 12:54:02 GMT http://www.digitallantern.net/mcluhan/mcluhanplayboy.htm In 1961, the name of Marshall McLuhan was unknown to everyone but his English students at the University of Toronto--and a coterie of academic admirers who followed his abstruse articles in small-circulation quarterlies. But then came two remarkable books-- "The Gutenberg Galaxy" (1962) and "Understanding Media" (1964)--and the graying professor from Canada's western hinterlands soon found himself characterized by the San Francisco Chronicle as "the hottest academic property around." He has since won a world-wide following for his brilliant--and frequently baffling--theories about the impact of the media on man; and his name has entered the French language as mucluhanisme, a synonym for the world of pop culture. emmineb Thu, 24 May 2007 11:03:07 GMT http://infosthetics.com/archives/2007/05/touchgraph_amazon_browser.html an interactive network visualization that aims to reveal the intricate network structure within purchase pattern recommendations. users can explore related books or albums, see how similar items form clusters around common subjects, & discover how the clusters themselves are connected within the information space. it seems the visual information design & interactive features have been dramatically enhanced since their first google browser version about 2 years ago. emmineb Fri, 25 May 2007 08:10:44 GMT http://arxiv.org/ftp/cs/papers/0612/0612071.pdf 0612071.pdf (application/pdf Object) emmineb Wed, 14 Feb 2007 09:52:51 GMT http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/005123.html#more Chris Anderson - Mr. Long Tail, editor of Wired Magazine - makes a great decision here at Pop!tech: assuming that everyone in the audience has either read The Long Tail or knows the argument, he gives a different talk: “What Happens When Things Get Free?” (It covers much of the same ground as the book, but draws a different narrative through many of the same examples.) He starts with a photo of Dr. Carver Mead. Mead started thinking about what happens as semiconductors get cheap to the point where they’re free. The answer is, “you should waste them.” This insight led to VLSI - Very Large Scale Integration - chips that included thousands of transitors, not just single ones. emmineb Wed, 25 Oct 2006 13:07:28 GMT http://lolcode.com/playground/playground HAI CAN HAS STDIO?

KTHXBYE emmineb Tue, 29 May 2007 17:06:54 GMT http://bytlanas.se/ Med digitala medel kan man dela med sig av sina verk, dokumentationer av foto/ljud/film eller rent digitala verk, nästan gratis. Vi tror att sådana här utbyten gagnar konstscenen och öppnar upp för ett mindre bajsnödigt klimat. Därför har vi skapat Bytlanas, ett fint forum där ett utbyte kan ske konstnärer emellan och mellan konstnärer och publik. Bytlanas ordnar bytesträffar dit folk kommer för att byta till sig digitaliserad konst och lämna sin egen i utbyte. Materialet lagras i våra datorer och görs tillgängligt för nedladdning här på sidan i form av Bytlanas Mixtape, en rykande färsk konstsamling i digitalformat. emmineb Wed, 14 Feb 2007 09:00:40 GMT http://www.shirky.com/ NEC@Shirky.com -- Networks, Economics, and Culture NEC is a mix of essays written for the list, essays written for other outlets, drafts of ideas I’m pursuing, and reader commentary (re-printed only with permission, of course). The list will be very low volume, with an approximately twice-monthly frequency, and the contents will also be archived on shirky.com. <<management>> emmineb Sun, 18 Mar 2007 10:24:50 GMT
