david weinberger on on eric norlin on trust :

"Eric Norlin is beginning to think about a taxonomy of trust: 1. You are who you say you are. 2. You do what you say you will do. 3. The combined experience of 1 and 2 builds over time.

As Norlin points out, this applies to one particular type of trust, especially when it comes to transactions and collaboration. But it doesn't fit so well when applied to squishier relationships. Why did I trust that guy named AKMA -- if an AKMA is a guy at all -- after reading his first couple of blog entries? In this case I didn't care much about #1, and #2 doesn't apply. Different type of trust. Not an objection to Eric's taxonomy, just a comment on its scope. And implicitly: what's the relationship of the two types of trust, unless it'st just a trick of language? "

"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.
