When I came across it again today I remembered that Tinderbox is the application that got me into weblogging.
Although I couldn't use it (it's Mac only) I consumed the website with great interest and a certain amount of jealousy. It was also the first reference I had seen to weblogging and from there I got to Radio Userland.
I'm really hoping they port Tinderbox to Windows soon.
Back from the first meeting of the Knowledge Cafe hosted by David Gurteen. Among other things to thank David for was arranging the venue, hosting the event and paying for the coffee!
For me it was an interesting evenining. Most of it was spent with us introducing ourselves, this in itself turned out to be a moment of inspiration because you really got a feel for the variety of different people there ranging from the seasoned KM veterans right down to the "hangers on" like myself. It's going to be fun seeing where this goes.
So what was the lesson of 9-11 that the US has failed to learn? I think it's that God doesn't think we're as important as we do. The concept of national security is obsolete. We can't close our borders. We live on this planet with everyone else. Global warming, AIDs, terrorism, all penetrate all borders. New York is a world city. The last gasps of isolationism will be snuffed out by more humiliation, until we get the truth, we aren't above the rest of the world, but we are part of it.
» I guess I don't see eye to eye with Dave on some issues but this piece struck me as well thought out and incisive.
Something I have despaired of since last year is that there are so few signs that America at large is wondering about why this is happening to them all of a sudden. I'm sure it's very comforting to buy into the "Axis of Evil" idea but it's not going to help.
