“
Meeting people and investing time in forming relationships is like increasing the potential energy of a bucket of water. Each meeting is like dipping a bucket into a pool of water and putting the effort into lifting it onto a shelf. Some meetings take more or less effort.
Later, the buckets are tipped over and the potential energy is transformed into the kinetic energy of spilling water. The water may land in a wet mess on the ground, it may be for the pure fun of getting wet, it may turn into dollars on the way down, or some of the water may have evaporated from a previously full bucket.

What I’m Reading Before Bed: 2
You Are Not a Gadget, by Jared Lanier.
A recommendation by Britta Riley, who I work with on the Windowfarms project. Lanier seeks to explain how new economies and web tools are placing wisdom in the hands of mobs instead of individuals… how ‘having everyone involved in the process’ is sometimes a bad idea.

What I’m Reading Before Bed: 1
Cabinet, a quarterly magazine of art and culture created by Dexter Sinister.
I just visited their underground (literally) book shop on Ludlow street and met one of the guys that works there. Literary exploration on modern topics of theory, mathematics, art criticism and design.
