An Assortment of (relatively) Old But Interesting Links
These tabs have been cluttering up my browser for months now… nagging reminders that I’m not blogging as much as I’d like (one of many things I’m not finding as much time to do as I like, but what’s new…)
Anyway, rather than just close them, I’ll share them here. Feel free to read them and then imagine what the blog post they would’ve inspired would look like, or write one of your own instead :-)
- Reversing the Decline in Big Ideas
- The Entrepreneurial Generation
- Sending Astronauts to Explore the New Economy (this was a really good one)
- The Local-Global Flip, or, "The Lanier Effect" (actually, this was too - about the Internet's affect on society IIRC)
- 'Smart City' Planning Needs Just the Right Balance
- Dark Social: We Have the Whole History of the Web Wrong (this was a great piece about how little sharing actually happens on "social media", compared to shared among people in general, something to bear in mind when the social media experts and companies are trying to persuade you otherwise...)
- No to NoUI (The NoUI phenomenon as a specific term had passed me by, but Timo does a fantastic job of explaining how we should disregard anyone trying to sell us a "seamless, invisible interface")
- He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman
