Saturday, August 02, 2003Why Weblogs Bring A True Revolution To Internet Publishing.
So, you can see how the advent of weblogs, was masqueraded on the surface by the "bloggers" fad, and completely misunderstood by those who would be most benefitting from the advent of such technology-based opportunities.
We are ushering into an era in which things are changing at an increasing faster pace, and where ever more frequently we are looking at reality with an outdated pair of glasses, so it is difficult for me to anticipate with greater detail what the appropriate understanding and ethical exploitation of the above will exactly bring about.
What I can say with some amount of safety, is that I cannot recommend enough the use of weblog/CMS based technology for both traditional business applications as well as for those organizations entrenched in publishing methods that require a seven-day tour before the content even makes it to the test server. The learning curve for these powerful CMS technologies is basically none and the cost-effectiveness is several orders of magnitude better than when working with a full-time webmaster or with an IT/Information Publishing department that wants to "webmaster" everything you do.

comment [] trackback [] HubLog: OpenAm linking
... no more convoluted Amazon URLs. This is great! Now if we could only get rid of the url.cgi bit. How about www.openam.com/book?title=smart%20mobs instead?
It's always been difficult to link to Amazon, because you have to find the ASIN (product code) to put in the URL. To avoid this, the OpenAm service lets anyone link directly to Amazon product pages, just by using the title (and the author if the title's not precise enough).
For example, to link to Stephen Wolfram's 'A New Kind Of Science', you can use the URL http://www.openam.com/url.cgi?title=a%20new%20kind%20of%20science (the %20 is the encoding for a space).
To link to Howard Rheingold's 'Smart Mobs', you could use http://www.openam.com/url.cgi?title=smart%20mobs or http://www.openam.com/url.cgi?title=smart%20mobs&author=rheingold
and to link to 'The Life Of Pi' using your associates ID (to get sales commission), just use http://www.openam.com/url.cgi?title=life%20of%20pi&ref=exampleid
If that's still too complicated, you can use this OpenAm bookmarklet to generate the links automatically.

It's "Oy," not "Om"
This was just too funny to not share - it's Zen Judaism!
[The Shifted Librarian]"Let your mind be as a floating cloud. Let your stillness be as the wooded glen. And sit up straight. You'll never meet the Buddha with posture like that.
There is no escaping karma. In a previous life, you never called, you never wrote, you never visited. And whose fault was that?
Wherever you go, there you are. Your luggage is another story.
To practice Zen and the art of Jewish motorcycle maintenance, do the following: get rid of the motorcycle. What were you thinking?
The Tao has no expectations. The Tao demands nothing of others. The Tao does not speak. The Tao does not blame. The Tao does not take sides. The Tao is not Jewish.
Zen is not easy. It takes effort to attain nothingness. And then what do you have? Bupkes." [PeteBevin.com, from the book Zen Judaism by David M. Bader]

comment [] trackback [] The blogging process and building community
Dave Pollard has written a piece on the blogging process that's making its way around. You can tell by the number of folks that have his flowchart diagram embedded in their posts (I'll spare you). More interesting to me was the stuff after that about enriching the communication medium. This is part of the stuff that's left to do, and it's a big space. Together with Julie's experiences with MovableType, it makes me realize how far this new medium can and will go. [Ted Leung on the air]

comment [] trackback [] Student Challenges Basic Ideas of Time
A bold paper published in the August issue of Foundations of Physics Letters seems set to change the way we think about the nature of time and its relationship to motion and classical and quantum mechanics. The work also appears to provide solutions to Zeno's paradoxes. (Via Kurzweilai.net. More inside...) [MetaFilter]
