Wednesday, February 15, 2006. Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution - Howard Rheingold. I began reading this as a part of a grouping of books on emergent behaviour, technology and social networks. Perhaps we are destined to recreate systems in use by thousands of other creatures as well as ones we didn't know we were using ourselves.Here are the others:. Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software - Steven Johnson. Thursday, February 09, 2006. Penny Cousineau - Levine.

Wednesday, September 17, 2008. Brewster Kahle, founder and director of the Internet Archive and supporter of the Open Content Alliance speaks about providing "Universal access to all knowledge". Listen carefully to the total numbers of books, films, tv, archival footage ever made and what he is trying to make available. I was so happy listening to this, there are people out there are trying to keep the knowledge free. This is so great! Keep knowledge public and thought free!

Library Spines: October 2006
http://libraryspines.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 27, 2006. The Unsung Heroines of the Civil Rights Movement from 1830 to 1970. How did the Civil Rights movement in the United States begin and continue? Most of what I have learned in my reading, documentary watching and from school focuses on a small high profile group of black religious leaders (all men) who fostered and apparently drove the Civil Rights movement. This book spotlights a continuum of women from the 1830s through the 1970s who defied the law by promoting equality. Cereal ...

An interesting read. 3 versions of the same events - each a different point of view and definitely different motivation behind the telling of each version. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Library Spines: March 2007
http://libraryspines.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 15, 2007. Is it that you read something at the right time and it appears everywhere in the news? Or Do you read about it and discover you have not been noticing it in the news? In the past week, I have read an interview with Cory Doctorow. This book was written in 2003 and all the issues he discusses are still contentious today. Lessig is great at explaining these complex topics and providing real life examples to show why these issues are important. Are we going to stop now?

Wednesday Dinners: Adventures in Jelly
http://wedine.blogspot.com/2012/04/adventures-in-jelly.html
Sunday, April 01, 2012. It was St. Patrick's Day and I had a vision in green that I was determined to see come to fruition. It was all thanks to one of my favourite foodie shows - that BBC Radio 4 Sunday staple, the Food Programme. If you haven't tuned in, you should give it a try, because you can listen to a lot of their back catalogue on the BBC iPlayer. The episode I'd listened to featured jelly. Extraordinary food sculptures depicting natural and architectural designs, created using pastry, spun suga...
