Transitions

Where have I been?

You mean as in all of your life?

No I mean as in the past few days.

I’ve been working up some stuff for a new project that absolutely had to have some things to it done over the weekend and that just buried me for the past few days. I know return you to my normal pace of delivering blog.

Last week I had the opportunity to meet with some guys from an ebook community.  I urge you all to check out what these guys are into regarding open standards for ebook publishing it makes a lot of sense. ( OpenReader )We had a really dynamic conversation about the potentials of Second Life and books. It sure gives me pause to think about the next generation of books and libraries. I keep going back to the Time Machine movie where they had that computer generated librarian, and or chips inside our heads that we can access information like we do now from the Internet but directly into our heads. If you could have instantaneous knowledge is it a good idea? Sure many of us like the process of learning but if you could just learn something immediately, would you take advantage of that. I think I’d say yes definitely in any area pertaining to mathematics. *laughs*

It’s a really beautiful morning here. Fresh, crisp air, everything has that quiet Monday morning feel to it, I can hear my coffee pot drippling into the carafe. Usually I prefer a nice french press preparation of my coffee. One time I had this super awesome vacuum coffee pot that works basically on the same principal as a french press machine but it was automated so I could “set it nd forget it”, but it only lasted about a year then it broke. I never did replace it.
