So, as I asked yesterday, what happens if every object has a status message?
You never again leave the oven on– it sends you a message when it’s on with nothing on/inside it.
You never get up to go to the washroom in a restaurant and see the bathroom is occupied.
Is the milk off or is it [...]
In other words: Out of sight, out of mind.
Ever wonder why Sally Struthers needs to show us little Ethiopian babies before we’ll give away a bit of dough to them? Easy; it’s because we don’t care– until it’s right in front of us. Would those Ethiopian babies need feeding if their plight was broadcast into [...]
This morning, I did six– count em– SIX radio interviews for the book.
Here’s some stuff I kept reiterating, that I’ll say now for you, except I’ll expand on it, because you already get a lot of it.

With increasing amounts of information, only larger infrastructures can handle indexing it– with where you’re being sent controlled [...]
If you’re irritated about the way influencers seem to be jumping from one web app to another, you aren’t alone. Dave Slusher just renounced ‘the search for the newer and shinier,’ and I suspect many others will follow after Facebook becomes passé.
What Dave doesn’t realize is that it is in the nature of early influencers’ [...]
We may talk like revolutionaries, but we still worship our old masters at the end of the day. Prove this to yourself– next time you meet a podcaster, tell them your show is on the radio, and watch their stance on your work change dramatically.
Being syndicated on Sirius changed my life, but not in the [...]
Everybody’s sending me Facebook invites. I’m going straight to

My 150th show, done from the balcony of a hotel room during SXSW 2007. The state and future of the web and of media personalities, my position within the structure, and where I hope to be. It all came out.
