Point Lookout, Orinda


Today: 6183m in 30 minutes. Continuing improvement. Never really went above pace of 2:30 for any length of time. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

UAE and the ports deal Permanent link to this item in the archive.

What do we bet that the US Entity is a wholly owned subsidiary of the UAE company, a cut-out?

 What difference would that make, other than letting all the politakers to look the other way?

Writely Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Barely out of Alpha and flipped already. Of course, it almost looks like someone sat down and designed the business that Yahoo, Google, AOL, and Microsoft had to start a bidding war over.

Doc on "The Intention Economy" Permanent link to this item in the archive.

This is a recycled meme. It's probably worth someone's time to go back to early 1.0 bubble and find the references. There were start-ups based on intention: there were markets where people aggregated intentions to buy to get better prices. There still are remnants in the Wish Lists everywhere.

 I know Doc comes by this epiphany honestly, but I know he was there the first time around. Maybe he needs to be clearer about what's different now and how this time

 It's derivative (and obvious) from the Attention meme that Gillmor and Godin have been flogging. Much true there still but it's hard to treat it as new and fresh almost a decade later.

 If there's something different to be done here, someone only has to do it. This isn't a talking game any more. Maybe Seth's new startup will move the ball one way or the other. Let's talk about working code for a change.

A Non-Violent Game(?) Political Action(?) Permanent link to this item in the archive.

"A Force More Powerful" is now available. The story on WorldChanging.

 Intriguing stuff. If it's half as successful as Sim City, the world will change. At least it is good that someone tackled the simulation of politics and public policy making.

 If it weren't PC only, I'd be more likely to play it. For $20, it's almost a required purchase just to support the idea.

 Not at all like Metal Gear

 

Watching Orinda. Watching the world.
