Web3 ... To understand what I mean - you might want to check out this earlier post. Meanwhile, on my personal thoughts microblog, I have been collecting a series of links - you can find them here. Meanwhile, I was thinking that it probably makes more sense to include them on this blog. Thus we have a new living post, starting with that list and expanding - as I find then - below.
🔗 Thomas Keneally’s 2020s vision: We must abandon the language of the market to reclaim our humanity I posted this link at the time it was published (2020). It surfaced the other day through my DayONE - and I decided to repost it in the category 🖇️ ‘Language Is Important’- ‘Tom’ and I are on the same page.
This post, by Dave Rosenthal caught my eye this morning. It's long, it’s deep and is written with authority and knowledge. Who is David Rosenthal? In his words I worked with James Gosling on CMU's Andrew project in the early 80s. I was a DE with him at Sun later in the 80s working on window systems including X, and file systems. I quit to be employee #4 at Nvidia where Curtis Priem and I did the basic I/O architecture, then was an early employee at Vitria, the second company of founders of Tibco.

Nice way to think about it. To phrase it.
If you are interested in this world - Sangeet Paul Choudary is well worth a follow. I found his latest newsletter interesting Pipelines to platforms to protocols: Reconfiguring value and redesigning markets … not least because I have been riffing on this for a while now - particularly after I heard Tim talk about this at an IIW a few years ago. .. which is kind of how one of the People First Tenet’s emerged ….
“The game is free … but you could spend up to $1,000 US Dollars just to buy the assets you need to play the game.”
Another example of redefining language.

4Privacy is another interesting site found by the inimitable Doc Searls.
Looks like they are launching via Kickstarter- as of writing;
13,052 backers pledged $604,985 to help bring this project to life.
‘Language Is Important' - a new category now available on this blog.
LATER
Category depricated - that said 🔗 🔎 click here - and all those posts re categorized will come up - along with a lot more.
A hot new watch from IDZ … or is it? They call it ‘The Identity Watch’. The web site reads more as a manifesto for privacy, data security and identity, I love it! What Is The Watch? An Identifier - To allow you to identify with different services An Authenticator - To increase the value of your ZINDEX and the security of your ID A Health tracker - To allow you to track all your fitness data in the health via Doc Searls
It’s a new year, and a spectacular new one at that. More of that to come - but good reasons for my extended absence. As we reopen the doors, I have decided to offer up some shorter thought posts and links beyond the longer articles that I have put here in the past. So along with a new workflow that utilizes Drafts I am hoping that you will find more to read, more regularly - but not necessarily taking more time.
