- Millions of Facebook users have no idea they’re using the internet. An interesting look at the risks of the behemoth walled gardens on the Internet.
- Crash Override: "Our mission is to return control to the victim". Shame it's needed, but good to know there are options out there to help people being abused online.
- Of robber Barons and Corvo antics. JP is right, we need to work out ways to reduce inequality.
- Of barons and corvos, continued.
- An Update on Indie.vc. This funding model from Indie.vc is a promising development in new ways to fund good companies.
- Press Play. Looks like it was a fantastic course in writing, and if nothing else read the "Personal Standards" section - applicable to so many groups/workshops.
- Shabby housing and shiny skyscrapers "The dereliction of the Liverpool waterfront is a result not of the port’s disappearance, but of its new insubstantiality. The warehouses that used to line both sides of the river have been superseded by a fragmented, mobile space: goods vehicles moving or parked on the UK’s roads. The road system as a publicly-funded warehouse.” So true.
