I'm awaiting my e-mail copy.
As usual, lots of great stuff in David Weinberger's latest JOHO. A few samples:
"[M]etadata doesn't scale. And that means
that the Internet will never be a unified "information space"
that can be searched and utilized transparently. It's always going to
be lumpy, local and tribal."
------
"It is essential by the nature
of publishing and essential to the purpose of building a public domain that
works escape the control of their creators."
------
"The Dean campaign in particular has figured out how to crack
the nut of mass-ness. How do you connect a single candidate to several million
supporters in a meaningful way? You don't. You enable the supporters to connect
to one another."
I particularly like that last one.

Yesterday I received a couple of books I ordered last week from Amazon. Re-imagine! One word, WOW!
Secondly, Beyond Fear by Bruce Schneier. This looks like it will be a good read.

RageBoy is broke, as in shut-down-the-phone, sell-your-laptop, no-more-meds broke. It's no joke.
If you want to help, buy some RB stuff (thanks to Gary Turner.) RB gets about 75% of the cost of the items you guy. So far, items available include:
2004 Calendar
Men's T-Shirt
Women's T-Shirt
The Classic RageBoy Commemorative Thong
Or, if you prefer to donate more directly, Euan has set up a PayPal account via a link on his homepage.
These are short-term fixes. Long term, has it escaped the world's notice that not only is RB a fabulous writer of manic screeds, he is also a superb Web designer who can help give voice to what's interesting about your company?

This isn't something new. Teachers have been clueless for quite a while.
Article in the New York Times today about the use and abuse of gadgets in high schools these days and how teachers are almost totally clueless about what's going on. The gadgety hijinks mainly consist of students using wristwatch calculators to cheat on tests or sending text messages with their cellphones while in class, but we're mightily impressed with the kid at Stuyvesant High School who bought a universal remote and then just walked through the hallways remotely switching on TVs in all the classrooms.

We're all guilty here, as the next guy.
Another interesting article about gadgets in yesterday's New York Times, this one about people who buy lots of new gadgets and then never end up using them:People acquire these things — hand-held personal digital assistants, flatbed scanners, compact disc copiers and a host of other objects — because they promise to make life more efficient, more fun, or, some confess, simply because they appear to help them keep up with what their "wired" friends and neighbors have. But many such products are simply too complicated for their own good. And all too often, the buyers find that they cannot really change their lives just by acquiring something new and different.Read... [Gizmodo]

The possibilities are only limited by peoples imagination. I'm sure that there are lots of applications just waiting for the technology to catch up.
Smart devices may achieve the ultimate vision for Wi-Fi: With a Wi-Fi cloud stretching everywhere, turning on the stove can be done remotely. More so than Internet access, remote control may be the killer app for Wi-Fi. Maybe. A lot of "ifs" surround the reality of Wi-Fi-enabled everything, including the kitchen stove. But the vision is pretty cool.... [802.11b Networking News]
