OPENING THANG

I think we are officially in the summer doldrums. almost all my newsletters are pointing to Noel's write up of Tufte and
almost all the blogs are pointing this new york times article
and both are terrific, no doubt. But so many pointers suggests a certain hunger for new ideas.... perhaps all us linkers deep to take a deep breath and write up some of our ideas...

then we can all link to each other!

sigh.

OPENING THANG

As I adjust to married life, I fear these gleans will stay infrequent, breif and unpredictable. I'll try to slide one to ya whenever I grab a spare second.

IA MATTERS

Lou kicked it all off with a post about the future

After looking at it with some trepidation for three days, realizing I would either have to write 6 emails to sigia about it or a giant post on eh. Having no restraint, I did both.

peter took up one of those mails, and turned it into a lovely well thought out insight on good-for-business/bad-for-ia

I'm working on part two, but it promises to be as long as part one, so don't hold your breath.
