Artistry and Technology: The Golden Triangle of Development

Viridian City Media has launched Artistry and Technology, a free email newsletter on the subject of visionary online communication. The first issue has an article on The Golden Triangle of Development, a methodical explanation of how you can actually use the adage: "You can have good, fast, or cheap. Pick any two." The newsletter comes out every couple of weeks and the upcoming topics look great. I recommend you subscribe. Posted: 4/20/03; 9:37:11 PM #

A Barn Raising for Civilization

Doc Searles, one of the authors of the Cluetrain Manifesto (which I have previously recommended), is proposing a Barn Raising for Civilization, in response to the sacking of Baghdad's cultural institutions. He quotes noted historian and archeologist John Malcolm Russell as describing what's happened as "the greatest catastrophe ever to befall a cultural institution in the history of the world." Right up there with the burning of the Library of Alexandria, it seems. Searles has good suggestions for how we might respond to this catastrophe, although the ultimate responsibility lies with the looters and with the forces that allowed this to happen.
