Interesting Things on the Internet: July 21st 2014 Edition
- Dark Matter. How museums and galleries should embrace Internet Thinking, but applicable to lots more than that.
- This Is How Your Financial Data Is Being Used to Serve You Ads. Interesting, if rather frustrating, look at how data is used to serve you more ads.
- Thirty Things I’ve Learned. Life lessons. Nothing revolutionary, but good to be reminded of these things.
- An Open Rant Against Birthday Dinners. I'm not sure what a better option would be, but lots of that rings true :-)
- Disappointingly the DRIP legislation was passed this week, so this good speech from Martha Lane Fox was in vain.
- Surveillance and Austerity. Politics these days is all about keeping people in their place, so the powerful can keep consolidating theirs. We deserve a better alternative.
- Don’t blame the mandarins "every department should have its Chief Historian, in order to remind the short term and media-harried boss of the day exactly how many times his recent idea has failed."
