‘listen to what joe is listening to/last listened to’
ah – this does exist, I didn’t know if it did; on last.fm you can listen to any other user’s library radio. Too bad most of my friends don’t use last.fm.
Actually, it doesn’t work that well – it seems to try to load the entire library before it starts playing any one song.

I admit it – I enjoy children’s books. My excuse is reading them to my kids. When they all grow up I’ll have to rent kids so I can read to them. I compare picture books for kids to power point presentations designed for executives. Both assume a short attention span and try to get the point across powerfully and with images as an aid. The picture books tend to be more honestly informative, but otherwise not so different.
Where else would I have time to delve into the life of L...
so many things that cannot be said…at least the good thing about voice is it doesn’t leave a record
Second things first: Google Plus is too all-encompassing and controlling. I can’t get a feed to publish elsewhere, or hack at, or stream, or store as text. Anything I write there lives ONLY in Google Plus, it seems, and can be taken out only manually.
And I’m not sure I want to write primarily for my friends. If I wanted to tell my friends something, I’d send them an email. If I have an idea to share, it seems cleaner in some way to publish it anonymously – or at least w...

Global Voices Online is a good one, I think: http://globalvoicesonline.org
From 1773 to 2011, leaking incriminating documents into the public eye has been a powerful mechanism to galvanize revolutions.
Nothing quite like reading in black and white the recommendation for “abridgement of what are called English liberties”.
Benjamin Franklin leaked Royal Governor Hutchinson’s letters to the press back in 1773, triggering the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution. (Franklin was actually trying to focus anger on a local governor instead of Britain ...
Most content sites and could use more serious, thoughtful writers. Brave activists in democracy movements around the world could use more financial support.
What if, content sites hire democracy activists who need to make a living, to research best practices in established democracies, in community building and local governance? They really need to think about these things and might have deep and genuine interest, and could write from a fresh perspective…
Now, if I just had a bunch of spar...
Most companies are legally required to be selfish. That is, to put shareholder value over all other considerations including worker health, dangers to consumers, damage to the environment, or anything else.
Enter the “B Corp” – a kind of company that can legally pay attention to what most of us call values. Arizona doesn’t yet recognize “B” Corps, but five states now do: Maryland, Vermont, Virginia, New Jersey and now New York.
Arizona? What does your legislat...
