| 4 | Outsmarting the Facebook Lobster Trap: Three Worries, One Guideline, Seven Principles | Facebook, enclosure, hype, social network, activism, non-governmental organizations, trap, marketing | Enclosure is a process whereby a resource held in common is taken into private control. The acts of enclosure of the industrial age were about land, they were brutal and conspicuous, and they were implemented, to a large degree, by force. The acts of enclosure of the information age are about social assets, they are subtle and invisible, and they are being implemented, to a large degree, by peer pressure. Although the larger dynamic of digital enclosure should be the subject of a longer piece, today I'll touch briefly on what this dynamic means for constructive nonprofit use of Facebook. | 20090630 | peek | visit | add/edit | |

Secret History of the Flying Carpet | aircraft, flying, carpet, magic, magnet, hoax, history | Long before the broomstick became popular with witches in medieval Europe, the flying carpet was being used by thieves and madmen in the Orient. ... In the Ben Sherira chronicle, certain passages describe the workings of a flying carpet. Unfortunately, much of the vocabulary used in these parts is indecipherable, so little has been understood about their method of propulsion. What is understood is that a flying carpet was spun on a loom like an ordinary carpet; the difference lay in the dyeing process. Here, the artisans had discovered a certain clay, 'procured from mountain springs and untouched by human hand', which, when superheated at 'temperatures that exceeded those of the seventh ring of hell' in a cauldron of boiling Grecian oil, acquired anti-magnetic properties. Now the Earth itself is a magnet, and has trillions of magnetic lines crossing it from the North to the South Pole. | 20040723 | peek | visit | add/edit |
