, for instance, is the marriage of collective and individual intelligence.” Jaron Lanier
From his book, ” You are not a Gadget”. Part one- What is a Person?
I am reading this simultaneously with Dr. Junichi Saga’s “Memories of Silk and Straw”.
An interesting juxtaposition.
Listening to Steel Parade perform by the ocean, waves in the background.
We are indeed, fortunate.
Tomorrow, back to the dyepot.

Dr. Saga’s book sounded interesting to me the last time you posted about it so I ordered it from the library and have just started it. Thanks for posting about it.

oh, i am glad you enjoyed the book. I did too, and bought others similar…. i think the more i can learn about the “little histories” of Japan, the better…

from wordpress’ upgrade page:
“No-ads
We occasionally serve ads on WordPress.com as a way to pay our bills, purchase this to ensure that we will never show any ads on this blog”
i imagine that as more content is aggregated and search terms plus traffic is correlated, ads appear where they think they are likely to get hits.
personally, i would use the word “sell” over “serve” here.
