News 3.0 
Assume that there are some number of useful/interesting stories, at any instant in time, how do we know what there is to know about each?
| | It's all about aggregating the information. It's about getting information closer to the source. It's about getting accurate and timely translations of primary sources. It's about disintermediating the network model. |
| | It's about sources. It's about dissenting voices. It's about assenting voices. It's about confused voices. It's about voice. |
| | It's all about breaking the monopolies of information. It's about shattering the monopoly of Reuters, the BBC, AP, the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, Fox News, the LA Times, the Voice of America. It's as much about breaking the monopoly of any other local-language or political source. It's about real voice. |
| | It's all about the story after it's no longer a soap-selling TV minute. It's about the story after it's fallen off the front pages of the "important newspapers."It's about the aggregate wisdom of "the listeners" or "the readers". It's about what "they" believe. |
| | Do you want to know what hit you? Do you want to know what's coming? Do you need to know in spite of what's politically correct? Are you the fodder of the next market crash? The next war? |
| | Well, how would we do it? |
Listening to TWIT 43 ... topic: "The Man" 
Biggish conversation about whether they can/should reinvent Tech TV themselves and not do it for The Man.
| | Leo gets a little emotional about doing it for themselves. Around 55 minutes in. |
| | Generally, I can't take the self-involved navel-lint-picking but that was actually an interesting moment of honest emotion. |
Blog Indentation (Round 4) 
The Prefs idea isn't easy. Rendering is done on the Community Server and we don't have prefs up there. That's a big change.
Today 
Well, the lights came back on in a bit over 90 minutes last night. It was well within PG&E's estimated time to repair which was nice. Strong gusty winds did some damage to the power lines nearby and knocked out a bunch of Orinda. Dinner by candle-light was fun.
Rowed 3606 in 30 minutes at the medium exertion level. It would have been better but the MP3 player phone earpiece went weird and I stopped a few times to f*ck with it. Oh well.
| | Walked the route including a big vegetable purchase. The rain started as we got partway up the hill. [23 + 24] |

Watching Orinda. Watching the world.
