The Obvious?

Beyond the blogosphere

Put together Dave Winer's essay on The Rule Of Links

The Rule of Links is that you link when it's appropriate to do so. Linking is an art. It's a choice. You don't link from every word or even every noun, or from the subject of every sentence. But when a reader reasonably would want to know more about the subject, the Rule of Links says you should link to it.

..... and Gavin Bell's post expressing concern about wanting to refer to people on blogs but not being able to link to their own output to give context:

It feels odd to see someone's name on a site without a hyperlink around it and mentioning someone who has a weblog and not citing them feels wrong too.

... and you get a sense of where the edge of the blogosphere lies.

The art of conversation

Conversation. What is it? A Mystery! It's the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest, of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all. How do we define this lively darting about with words, of hitting them back and forth, this sort of brief smile of ideas which should be conversation?

Out of the mouths of babes part .....

My two kids were playing doctor and patient tonight and one of them stuck a thermometer in the other's ear and announced "One hundred and twenty percent".

I can only hope it was brain activity she was measuring!

A blast from my past

Just listening to Nickelback's Silver Side Up at silly volumes on my headphones and remembering that wonderful feeling of being on the giving or recieving end of a big PA stack.

You know .... that slightly panicky feeling in the pit of your stomach as the waves of sound seem to vibrate you and go straight through you at the same time. The feeling of being wrapped up in something so much bigger than yourself .... of just being a bunch of particles in a wave of sound as everything becomes one wave of energy.

Shame we can't sustain that feeling for long.
