Stephen Downes - Groups vs Networks: The Class Struggle Continues - Stephen's Web
It's Saturday morning as I write right now from my hotel room in Wellington, New Zealand, and as I try to check some reservations and flight details and try once again to upload some audio before I leave these shores and these climes for home I am probably not to be trusted with my observations, thoughts and feelings forged not only in the last week or so of sleep-deprived madness in New Zealand but in that sunny Saturday afternoon in Frankfurt, the veldt of the Kruger, the townships of the South Cape, the hills of Lesotho. Such adversity often brings out the best in me, and eve

AKMA's faithful interpretation
I am in possession of AKMA's new book, Faithful Interpretation: Reading the Bible in a Postmodern World. I am a big fan of his What Is Postmodern Biblical Criticism?, one of the best introductions to Postmodernism I've read. I'm also a big fan of AKMA in general. So I couldn't keep from opening the new one even though I'm not supposed to be doing anything other than revising my book. I intended to read just the opening paragraph or two but got sucked all the way through the introduction. AKMA plunges straight into the question of whether intention is in... From

Gestures and metadata
AKMA gestures towards gestures, stimulated by an offhand comment by Doc. "I've found the problem of communicative gestures to constitute one decisive fulcrum for my reasoning," writes AKMA. I wouldn't go that far for myself, but I do find something important about gestures, stimulated (as is so often the case for me) by that ol' Nazi bastard, Martin Heidegger. Heidegger talks about gestures, as I recall, as a way of getting past the notion that language is a series of coded definitions that re-create in the hearer the image or meaning intended by the speaker. Instead, take gestu From

DOEP (Daily Open-Ended Puzzle) (intermittent): Markets are
I leave tonight for a conference in Maastricht devoted to the topic "Markets are conversations." I give the final keynote, which is also the final speech of the conference. So, since I'm carrying the Cluetrain banner and the attendees—Dutch marketers—will have spent 1.5 days on the topic, it's tempting to announce in an authoritative tone of voice that Cluetrain was wrong about markets. They're not conversations. Markets are _________. The aim is to fill in the blank with the most ridiculous plural noun for which one could still make some type of semi-reasonable case From
