I installed the Firefox Add-on Fission, which provides a Safari-style address bar/progress bar. This was one of the remaining items on making Firefox behave just the way I want a browser to do.

Digital natives -- Comment()
Alla Land discussed digital natives, meaning youth who were born digital - or don't remember a time before computers and the Internet. I felt old.

The generative internet - is the bell tolling? -- Comment()
I have been reading an article by Jonathan L. Zittrain on the so-called generative internet, that is the "capacity for unrelated and unaccredited audiences to build and distribute code and content through the Internet to its tens of millions of attached personal computers". The impact has been huge, and the growth and innovation has made it possible to engage in all kinds of new endeavors. However, there has been a backslash, trying to restrict innovation, the freedom of speech, and building new things on top of existing. I hope the generative capacity of the internet will survive, but it is far from certain.
