Where am I ? Playing with FireEagle, location based services and an iPhone that just moved me 2 Km down the road ! |
I mention Rugby on Twitter and next thing I know I'm being followed by Will Carling. Smart marketing for a joint venture website of his... |
Just back from Rugby Club get together. Refereeing this afternoon. Good game. M6 bt Lord Wandsworth College 10:5 |
Heading towards the end of term. Marking Exams. Writing Reports. Trying to redesign database at the same time. Too much. |
Now in "Cibo!", Didcot, for dinner with 20 odd medics. "Odd" as in... well, you know what I mean. Honestly. I'm married to a Doctor. Cough. |
@Preoccupations: Back in 1979 a younger Bruce paced me to a best ever 1500m time to help me qualify for that year's Schoolboy Championships |
In Didcot. Reduced Shakespeare Company: The Complete Work of God. The best satire on Religion I've come across in a long time. |
SVCO: Elon Musk: "Backing up the Biosphere" on Mars "and on the other planets". You have to admire geeks' vast/naive imagination & ambition. |
SVCO: Nice quote from Susan Greenfield: "We live in an answer rich but question poor environment". Shame she doesn't "get" tech. |
SVCO: Musk: Going to space needs Mach3. Going to Orbit needs M25. Fuel scales as V squared. And you can't patch hardware once it's moving. |
SVCO: Elon Musk: PayPal, TeslaMotors & SpaceX. Rebuilding the Saturn project at low-cost/high-tech to offer humanity an escape route. Cool. |
SVCO: Susan Greenfield is plugging her books. Consciousness & Chemistry, Transhumanism and Identity. She's coming across as a clever Luddite |
SVCO: Philip Rosedale, SecondLife, 30,000 servers, 500 sq miles, 250TB of data. Created stuff from atoms when he was young. Bits are better |
SVCO: Twitter: simple "flocking" rules plus aggregation offer massive leverage because "9 minutes is old school". cf Mars Phoenix account. |
SVCO: Twitter was built on the "away" status messages from IM clients. Can we do something better with "I'm on holiday until..." ? |
SVCO: Re-read Leviathon. Biz Stone talking about Twitter & his childhood. Inspiration + Innovation. Hmm. Creatives, Consumers & Citizens. |
SVCO: The Internet offers Rights without Responsibilities & offers up Truths without Research and Evidence. We need new Institutions. |
Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn, & Andrew Keen, The Cult of the Amateur, talk about the role of Social Networks as nations. cf Nations & Nationality |
