Hanging out on the Web

[avad]

And in the morning I watch the squirrels and the birds in the backyard....and the look of the birds in branches makes me think of the internet...and of the evolution of shared spaces/environments...so that like these birds...we will be going about our business, link to link, branch to branch, with an awareness of others (if we choose). And I watched for quite a while...the oh look, what is this, the let's all go here, the I want to be alone/apart, the hi theres of these birds pecking about the yard, flitting about the tree networks...
Heh. I'll call these two pics 'Hanging out on the Web'.

thanks!:)

Dashboard sounds interesting...but a bit overwhelming for me actually. Although i'm sure it would be useful in many instances i would be nervous because it Seems to beg for tangential distraction. Even having my 'favorites list' open while I try to type an e-mail makes it difficult for me...hours later i find myself somewhere else and the e-mail is still in draft.;)

A bit of ADD eh? :) I think the point of what I want to do is to provide not tangents, but instead what William Gibson calls 'Nodal points' in the network that is a mind. The hard part is, how do you detect a 'nodal point'? Well, it's not really possible at this point as far as I know, but let me give a little bit of background in my journal.
