By temperament and talent, Burt Webb is well suited to making the most of the chaotic edge that is today's state of information access and overload. Long before there were weblogs, Burt was collecting ideas that regularly crossed the boundaries of conventional categories and sharing them with anyone who would listen. Because I believe that it's conventional categories that got us into many contemporary messes, I have often been one of those listeners. Today, I have the genuine privilege of introducing you to Burt Webb, a man who I believe is working overtime to turn miscellany into holism.
Burt's Blog - The Nexilist's Notebook - is the latest addition to our network of authors, which already includes myself, Asher Bey, Gavin Clabaugh, and Phil Bereano. Phil (and I) and Burt have clashed on some very important issues in the past, which is one of the reasons that I am pleased to have him in this network. (I'm always fascinated by what you uncover when you tease apart disagreements.) I also think that Burt will add a strong element of linkblogging to the strong authorial lineup that we already have. I hope you'll take the time to read Burt's first few posts and comment or post to your own blog where appropriate. I know I will be doing that myself.
