"Suppose we were able to share meanings freely without a compulsive urge to impose our view or conform to those of others and without distortion and self-deception. Would this not constitute a real revolution in culture."

David Bohm (1917-1992), physicist & philosopher

Brian Lamb on wikis

Brian Lamb has written a short primer on wikis, followed by a list of wikis with an educational slant. He dug up the wiki prayer from the mother of all wikis, which I hadn't seen before:

Please, grant me the serenity to accept the pages I cannot edit,
The courage to edit the pages I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference

Tim Berners-Lee: the fractal web

Richard MacManus has summarized Chris Lydon's interview with Sir Tim, in which he explains the (sensible, in my opinion) idea of the fractal Web. In the fractal Web, different parts of our output are targeted to groups at different scales, ranging from the individual to humanity as a whole. Reminded me of the ecosystem of networks and got me thinking about how discourse often has to become less idiosyncratic when it is intended to reach a large audience, because less common ground / shared language can be assumed.

In their original form, audio interviews like this take a long time to absorb, so double thanks to Richard for writing this up.

m3u generator bookmarklet

Alf Eaton has come up with a m3u generator bookmarklet which will harvest the links to mp3s on a page  you're viewing in the browser and give you a playlist. Drag that last link to your links bar, and try it on this page of songs from Les Ogres de Barback or this page of songs from the klezmer band Sirba (found thanks to Lucas).

Jim Morrison virtual comeback

This from Modern Humorist. The non-flash version is almost as enjoyable.

THIRTY YEARS AGO
last week, Doors frontman Jim Morrison mixed drugs, alcohol and asthma to ascend to the big Whisky A Go-Go in the sky. Here in the virtual world, though, Modern Humorist has reanimated him in the form of lines and lines of programming code.

Onward!

The Onward! conference at OOPSLA 2004 in Vancouver "welcomes papers describing new paradigms or metaphors in computing, new thinking about objects, new framings of computational problems or systems, and new technologies."

The chair is Geoff Cohen, whose Coherence Engine weblog I noted has a puzzling link cosmos (150 out of 192 inbound links from virtually invisible weblogs); Richard Gabriel is on the organizing committee.

(via boingboing)

Infoviz in the seventies

The Union of International Associations showcases a 1971 demo movie of information vizualization technology (RealVideo), featuring light pens and 3D rotating molecules (around 4:00) The soundtrack kinda caught me offguard.

(By the way, Real Alternative (thanks Anil) is a great way to play Real media on Windows - though I seem to have trouble with .smil playlists.)

Inventories of community processes

The co-intelligence institute maintains a list of compilations of community processes. They say the most comprehensive to date is the Citizen Science Toolbox, which I think looks terrific. As Ming writes, "There are detailed instructions and references and pros and cons for all those different approaches." Here's the description of the tool called "Civic Journalism".

QubitNews makes Google News

The QubitNews weblog has been approved to become a news resource website for Google News. (Here's a (dated) discussion on blogs and Google News on Blogroots.)

And I note that SciScoop has been in Google News for a year.
