Out to Lunch

Hey kids,

I’ve been pretty flat out with other stuff right now so apologies if I’ve been a little slack on the blogging front.

I have been reading a lot though. Here’s a few titles that have held my notoriously short attention span:

Clay Shirky - Here Comes Everybody

An amazingly lucid insight into the workings of the social web.

Paul Graham - Hackers and Painters

Kind of dated now but still holds some truths about what I like to call “the dark side”.

Charles leadbeater - We-Think

Just about to start this so will report back next week or so.

Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky that Subliminal Kid - Sound Unbound

This one is up after We-Think. Again I’ll let you know but this is the one I am looking forward to the most.

So all of you are to write a 1,000 word essay on one of the titles. I want them on my desk by some arbitrary time otherwise you’ll be in detention.
