“I’ve come to the strong conclusion that there are no plans, and that contrary to the required interview answer of a career plan, there are no such things. There is life, passion, and opportunity. At any given stage I try to follow my passion and do what I want to be doing right now. I have goals, but the way to reach them is realizing it’s about the journey. There’s always a future, but it’ll never be the one you anticipate.”

When TV cracks, it’s going to crack nasty as the newspapers now know. I’m having trouble figuring out the precipitating event(s), unfortunately.

ted says: ooooo, you’re right. it should be possible to forecast. will they get to subscription/purchased-downloads before the upfronts drop 25%? when will advertisers start tracking roi of campaigns? could be a while out actually. advertisers don’t like to have to think and work that hard.

“Google has declared itself as the champion of the “open web” while maintaining a moat around its cashcows, search and advertising, which it guards in the most un-open way possible. Google funnels billions from its proprietary and closed businesses into a systematic effort to commoditize myriad industries with free products to lure users into its perfectly commercial sphere of personal-data-for-advertising-dollars exchange. That Google has been able to persuade the technorati to swallow this under the glow of ‘open web’ is all the more remarkable.”

Symphony of Science - ‘We Are All Connected’ (ft. Sagan, Feynman, deGrasse Tyson & Bill Nye)

This is a glorious remix of four scientists rhapsodizing about the oneness of the universe.

Trammell showed it at the end of his very refreshing and profound panel at SXSW “What Can Carl Sagan Teach Us About The Web?”

That’s a great paraphrase from the Donovan song “mountain”

“First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.” If you ever had a jam band period you’d likely know the song from the Allman Brother’s epic instrumental, Mountain Jam.
