The view from our driveway, early Thursday morning. Could have been Vermont.

‘Digital Britain’ filleted for commenting
Here’s a terrific idea — a version of ‘Lord’ Carter’s Digital Britain Interim Report chunked in such a way as to make commenting easy. Find it here.
Warning: before reading some paragraphs of the Interim Report’s text (esp the stuff about IP protection) it might be wise to have a sick-bag handy. What you have to remember that this is a document composed mainly by guys who have been conditioned in the old push-media world. And who think that calling for universal 2mbps broadband coverage is an enlightened forward-looking vision.
(Interesting also that the image used on the Department of Culture Media and Sport’s website announcing the Interim Report — reproduced above — is a gif. Clearly IP madness runs deep.)
A presentation about ‘community’ — by a community
Neil Perkin had an interesting idea. Asked to give a presentation about online communities he created one by asking people to contribute a slide each. Then he assembled the slides into a presentation — and put it on SlideShare. Great idea, nicely implemented. And genuinely thought-provoking.
