Mass Collaboration

open open open

(makes me think of that old Mervyn's commercial)

So if you blab everything you're working on, all the time, and some others chime in, eventually your project morphs into something even bigger, maybe better. You certainly get ideas and perspectives you wouldn't have thought of yourself.

I'm going to try to put out more of my stuff, even before I've really thought it through, in the interests of open open open.

Facebook is my Cubicle

I was trying to figure out what the point of Facebook is, at least in a work context. Then I realized it's like my cubicle! When I used to have an assigned office at work, I had all kinds of things visible for any visitor to see:
* papers, etc., that I'm working on
* books I'm reading or refer to
* calendar with pictures and notes
* magazines showing my interests
* pictures of my SO, my dogs, Bay to Breakers, etc.
* current fun mousepad
* collection of floaty pens
* random small toys to play with if you were waiting for me to get off of the phone

You (the visitor) could also leave me a note, and see if I'm around and maybe what I was currently doing.

Isn't my Facebook page like that?

Here's another Facebook "incident:"
There's one vote that Rudy Giuliani definitely can't count on in his 2008 presidential bid: his own daughter's. According to the 17-year-old Caroline Giuliani's Facebook profile, she's supporting Barack Obama.

Soon, the future I've been waiting for!

Flying Cars!
Jet Packs!

We need more robots!

Buster's Famous! (again)

Buster is featured in this month's Bay Woof newspaper. I think you can probably pick these up at most Bay Area pet stores. His article is under Bay Area Canine Champions!
