Great to meet you at IGS. I was really pleased to meet Harvey and chat with him, if only briefly. Lance Strate is my mentor, so it would seem that we've crossed streams and entered into this adventure's next stage together. Stay in touch and hopefully we'll get to meet sooner than later. Good luck with everything and I'll be by here often to participate. Cheers! Mike Plugh This seems like an appropriate place to say hello. Great to meet you at IGS.

In general right now it would be cool to share info & meet more people actively engaged in either urban anthropology, media ecology in urban contexts, or online community organizing/advocacy at the neighborhood-city-metro levels. Anyone involved in work like this please comment or contact me (see about page). Harvey, would be geat to see some posts about this on your site.

I think nationalism faded at the moment not too many years ago, when very big money started to be traded on the net (which has no boundaries). I have lots of thoughts about this.

Bits of information at 140 characters or less fails to equate meaning or context to whatever the Twitterer is engaged in at the moment. Is it fun to just get bits and bites of perhaps meaningless chatter? Sure is. Sometimes you grab a gem here or there, but I agree that the blog format you are revisiting is an exceptional way to communicate ideas and receive critical feedback. I also agree that one doesn't have to blog every 15 minutes either, perpetuating a cycle of competition versus other bloggers who are simply regurgitating their own self-important view of the world as fast as they can hit "post." When I look at my Google Analytics or GetClicky reports, I see that people are finding long tail content on my blog. Stuff I wrote a year ago is still relevant today. So, it makes sense to think how the content you create today will be digested later. Here's to taking the the right lane on the autobahn. You'll still get to where you want to go, albeit a bit slower. In doing so, you had more time to enjoy the ride. I agree that less is not more.
