Reading Off the Charts: Beyond the Outer Shores and Year of Wonders
Reading Off the Charts: Beyond the Outer Shores and Year of Wonders: "It is hard to do justice to this book in so short an space or simple this reviewer but I hope it will find its place in the sun. It deserves to be made into a fine television series (like Carl and Ann Sagan?s and Steve Sotter?s Cosmos), recreating the stories, voyages and discoveries of Ed Ricketts and friends with this accompanying book with its reproduced specimen drawings, photos and extensive notes. Enough of the BBC biographies and nature shows, good as they are! Where is a creative producer when you need him/her? Let?s honor a hero of our own who has so much to give us as he did to his friends who immortalized him in literature. And I am grateful to Eric Enno Tamm for coming along at the right moment and writing such a fantastic book.

Pierre Omidyar in December Esquire
Pierre Omidyar in December Esquire: "John: You captured the context of the rolling interview and the essence of the Omidyar's - a deep faith in the goodness of people and the willingness to invest their wealth in finding ways to help others create new social enterprises.
I have no doubt it will generate a lot of added interest in the O.net - but I fear that the network volume may cascade because of the publicity and force the network design folks to come up with a plan to help O.net participants sort through the topic content to find gems of wisdom and people of common interest.
Tom Munnecke is a very good example of a netizen of the O.net who has adopted it as his new home. Tom puts in enormous hours on the O.Net - but he has a lot to say and much of it synchs well with the chaordic process he is comfortable basking in.
In spite of my comments about opening the door to a lot of new folks on the O.net, I hope your article does as much for broadening the reach of Pam and Pierre's vision as the Esquire article The Pentagon's New Map did for my friend Tom Barnett --Tom's book was voted #6 of all books on current events on Amazon in 2004. Quite a leap from the platform Esquire provided.
I think it took a leap of faith and an innovative turn of mind on your part to land the interview and turn it into a truthful piece - nice job.

mossberg's favorite blogs
By WALTER S. MOSSBERG, Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
Every day, I scan dozens of blogs, on politics, sports, news, and, of
course, personal technology -- the topic I write about. Here are some of my
favorite tech blogs. Like all blogs, these range from mere roundups of items
elsewhere on the Web to outpourings of personal opinion. Some are more like
journals, others lean more toward traditional Web sites. I don't vouch for
their accuracy or thoroughness, but I do find them interesting and useful.
There are lots of blogs and Web sites aimed at general gadget lovers, but I
recommend Engadget, at engadget.com1. It's not deep on analysis or testing,
but it rounds up most of the new stuff and surrounds it with short, snappy
patter.
For serious techies, who are deep in the weeds on all sorts of technical
issues and the social and political trends surrounding them, the must-read
blog is Slashdot, at slashdot.org2. Another excellent blog on tech issues
and also politics is by Dan Gillmor, a former newspaper columnist and
champion of "grass-roots journalism." You can read Dan at
Dan Gillmor's blog | Bayosphere3.
Some blogs focus on specific products. My favorite blog on cellphones is
Phone Scoop, at phonescoop.com4. My favorite blog on digital cameras is the
Digital Camera Resource Page, at dcresource.com5.
The iPod, of course, is a gadget with its own massive cult, so there are
numerous blogs for iPod lovers. In my view, the best of these is iLounge, at
ilounge.com6. It includes beginner's guides and in-depth reviews as well as
news.
Some blogs are excellent resources for following specific tech companies.
For instance, if you care about Google, and the search business in general,
there are two blogs to follow. One is John Battelle's Searchblog, at
battellemedia.com7. The other is the Search Engine Watch blog, by search
guru Danny Sullivan, at blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/8.
For Microsoft-watchers, a fascinating blog -- by a Microsoft employee named
Robert Scoble -- is Scobleizer, at scobleizer.wordpress.com9. Another
excellent blog on the software giant is Microsoft Monitor, at
microsoftmonitor.com10. It's by Joe Wilcox, an analyst at Jupitermedia and a
former tech journalist.
Then there are the blogs about Apple, the tech company that is so secretive,
yet so closely watched, that it attracts rumors, gossip and commentary like
flies. There are dozens of blogs and Web sites about Apple and its products,
far more than about much larger companies like Microsoft or Dell.
Apple watchers should check out Think Secret, at thinksecret.com11;
MacDailyNews, at macdailynews.com12; AppleInsider, at appleinsider.com13;
and the Unofficial Apple Weblog, at tuaw.com14. And no Apple cultist should
overlook the blog that makes fun of all the other rumor sites, Crazy Apple
Rumors, at crazyapplerumors.com15.

Civilities | Constructing Informative Viewpoints
a 6 prt essay on A list bloggers as gatekeepersCivilities | Constructing Informative Viewpoints
Comment to Dave Pollard
You said:(How to Save the World)
"If I were to edit a magazine, this is how it would be laid out. Built to last, to keep, and to provide ideas and insight you can actually use." Not a bad thought- the Brain taxonomy diagram is very helpful- In effect the How to Save the World blog IS the magazine.
Have you investigated how your audience USES the taxonomy - is there a tool at Salon for tracking this? Consider the potential of the collaborative filtering/recommendation engine that your audience couldl provide. Sort of like "Amazon meets Pollard"
BTW I have been browsing the Herman/Owen/Corrigan corridors of OpenSpace to get a better feel, and I have spent the time to read Herman's treatise on the "Dimensions of Organization" which leaves me wanting something crisper - I was hoping for a better "How to" approach to creating using his diagram - Maybe we can help him with that - if he is interested.
Corrigan's blog led me to this. http://www.grove.com/new/ds_gfretro.html What's New: Graphic Facilitation Retrospective Sibbet, Fred Lakin, Michael Doyle and David Strauss at Interaction Associates were all part of work I was leading at Iconix starting in 1978 and reminded me that I have been laboring in this Graphic Facilitation field for over 25 years. No wonder I like your graphics. We may want to include David Sibbet and the Drexler/Sibbet Performance Model ( and the Grove Group) as part of our expanding network of resources The Grove Consultants International: Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance™ Model
