An Uninterrupted Machine

"There is only One machine. The web is its OS. All screens look into the One. No bits will live outside the web. To share is to gain. Let the One read it. The One is us." -Kevin Kelly 2007 TED Talk

Internet Content: Consumer vs. Creator

Right now, I am about 95% consumer of content on the internet. I love consuming content. 

The main tools (there are others) that I use to consume content regularly:

Google Reader

Read it Later/Chrome it Later

Google/+

Tumblr

I know I'm "supposed" to be using Twitter for content because that's what All The Social Media are doing (or saying they're doing) . . . but I was never able to get a real handle on eliminating the noise I was getting from my Twitter stream. I found that moving a piece of content out of a tweet and into one of my offline reading sources was too much trouble (i.e. I gave up before I found a decent work around). Additionally, cross-posting to Facebook make Twitter redundant - I could easily see everyone's updates on my Facebook wall. 

I occasionally will browse my twitter stream when I've run dry on content from my other sources (and that never lasts more than an hour or two, tops.)

I would like to change that percentage to more of a 20%-80% split of creating to consuming.

I discovered this while browsing through the market over the weekend:

Plan B is the 'find my phone' app that you download AFTER you lose your phone. 

Plan B is your last resort to find your missing phone. 

This is the first and only 'find my phone' app that you download AFTER you've already lost your phone. Having Lookout on your phone is the best way to protect your phone and find it fast, but use Plan B if you have already lost your phone and didn't have Lookout installed.

DHS has teamed with security and technology experts at the SANS Institute and Mitre to create a list of the top 25 programming errors that lead to the most serious hacks, according to the New York Times. The idea is to educate companies and organizations of the channels that criminal hackers use to gain access to confidential information and servers that are based in common software errors that lead to "zero day" exploits.

Coda used to work at Wesabe.

He’s a star.

He also delivered the best presentation I’ve seen yet on the importance of instrumenting code to deliver business value. It sends a clear message that creating business value isn’t just for business people anymore.

"The Winklevosses are not the first parties bested by a competitor who then seek to gain through litigation what they were unable to achieve in the marketplace. And the courts might have obliged, had the Winklevosses not settled their dispute and signed a release of all claims against Facebook ... At some point, litigation must come to an end. That point has now been reached."
