Sunday Morning Shards #28:
On my mind and in the reading queue this week. The "one’s own bed" edition. Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
*I Want Media offers an assload of well-curated media-related news stories everyday. A great resource if impossible to keep on top.
*Urban Bush Women is celebrating their 20th anniverary.
*Bruce Sterling asks "Can Technology Save the Planet?" (via World Changing)
*I’m eager to read Business Week’s cover story "The Power of Us" about how Internet-style mass collaberation is changing the world of business.
*Ron Kovic’s Vietnam War memoir Born on the Fourth of July is being rereleased. AlterNet has an excerpt of his new introduction.
*The solution to cold delivered pizza? Make it in the van (via The Artful Manager).
*The art of sign painting is coming back to Coney Island.
*Playpod is my new best friend. Whips iPodder cold. Listening to podcasts no longer resembles hunting for a missing sock.
*Radiotime continues to suck, in case you were still interested. It’s recording right now on my iMac which means it’s about 1 for 56.
*Question: How do these guys do a radio show when they live in different cities? Can you record a Skype conversation and, if so, with what?
*Book #2 has begun. I’m playing around with DEVONthink (as recommended by Steven Johnson) and it’s got me all excited about the research. It’s a study of the effect 21st century technology will have on the high arts. Wish me luck.
