PKB

I’ve never been busier with work than I have been this past month. Also never felt more engaged, in the flow, or more excited about work than I am now.

I’m a few posts behind where I’d hoped to be so for now some bits of the zeitgeist in advance of molto bloggo presto:

• Much blog love for the 400 million Firefox download milestone.
• Ditto for Firefox Campus Edition.
• I switched over to a MacBook Pro yesterday and holy crap it’s fast. I weep for the lost hours of productivity (balanced against Timexesque reliability) spent over the past two years with my beloved G4.
• The O’Reilly Women in Technology series rocks.
• Investing against the Singularity. I’m simultaneously intrigued and unsettled by the thesis.
• Amazing interview with one of my heroes, William Gibson - quick hit truths on politics, the information/surveillance society, and the shape of things to come.
  

  “When I wrote ‘Neuromancer’ ” almost 25 years ago, he says, “cyberspace was there, and we were here. In 2007, what we no longer bother to call cyberspace is here, and those increasingly rare moments of nonconnectivity are there. And that’s the difference. There’s no scarlet-tinged dawn on which we rise and look out the window and go, ‘Oh my God, it’s all cyberspace now.’ “
