Ftrain.com: "Internet Culture Review" "While the boom was at its boomiest I quit my third New Economy job, ostensibly to be a freelancer, but more accurately to just stop, be done with it, calm down for a while, stop sleeping under desks, stop having to spew charts-and-bullets nonsense. And that was about the end of my sympathy for anything Wired, anything which promised great gains for the many through utter rhetorical nonsense."

Who’s Blogging Now?

TheStandard.com: Plastic Medium "One of the consolations of the dot-com shakeout is that it provides a much-needed opportunity to take the long view. Now that we know that first movers often turn out to be first losers, the need for speed seems much less pressing than the need for perspective. It's a good time, in other words, to step back and take a look at the ways the Internet is changing some basic patterns of social behavior.
Which brings me to the strange world of blogs. A blog – the word is a contraction of "Web log" – is a simple online diary that can be created with a free Web-based application called Blogger."

elearningpost-March 2001 Donald Norman: We have to start at several places. The traditional course is run by a professor, an instructor, who organizes the course material in some logical method and gives lecture materials and assigns readings. This is an approach that we can call either "teacher-centric", or maybe, "content-centric". And it fails to take into account the way people learn. The first step in learner-centric is to understand how learning takes place. Much modern research in cognitive science shows that people learn by doing. So it is very important that people learn not by reading a book, and not by listening to a lecture, but by doing tasks that can engage the mind.
