ex machina

it's really sad when an article from friday seems old and stale. one of the unintended consequences of mainting the snowdeal.org family of sites, is that it's making me "hypervigilant" of when stories come online - with anything over 12 hourse being past its prime. anyway, the article is yet another 'mainstream' reference to The Cluetrain Manifesto, 'blogging' and the changes that are afoot - using the amazon patent 'situation' as context:

"The traditional media sources -- The Wall Street Journals and the BusinessWeeks of the world -- have opined on Amazon's recent patents. Online magazines such as Salon have run their pieces. Web sites such as stopamazon.com have been started. But the heart and soul of the movement to criticize Amazon's patents is the Weblog.

The Weblog is the raw voice of the people -- your customers. Essentially, a Weblog is an online diary with hyperlinks. It's a point of view and a collection of links to anything on the Web. It's a remarkably potent means of communication. A Weblog is a lens to view the world through someone else's eyes. "

to beat a dead cliche in the mouth - i resemble that comment!

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
