The Age of Linking Dangerously

To understand just one life, you have to swallow the world.
-Salman Rushdie, Midnight's Children
Once upon the time (insert a date) Children of the Complete Planet Searched the entire World

If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.
—Catherine Aird

000: Dewey Decimal Classification System Invisible Patterns of Ones, Zeroes and Beyond

A chorrible (sic) warning, Jozef Imrich, is a self-proclaimed charter member of what he calls ‘the samizdata, information, broker generation.’ The first generation of informaniacs with total access to a database of tens of thousands of books, songs and films at any given moment ... something no other generation before ours can claim. Sharing great and small discoveries is largely why weblogging got so hot and sultry in the first place. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous ... Even the smallest person can change the course of the future!
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the Soviet Czechoslovakia [Russ.,= self-publishing house] BTW, in Slavic languages Net does mean no (smile)

Read, every day, something no one else is reading (such as Cold River - smile). Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.

How Congress Uses Blogs:
Few Members of Congress have taken the plunge and created blogs to communicate with constituents. Their hesitance is understandable given the unfiltered nature of blogs and the high workload demands already placed on Members and their staff. As an emerging technology, however, it's interesting to observe the first stages of blogging on the Hill and contemplate its potential.

Each categorizer brings his or her life knowledge and prejudices to the process. The Dewey Decimal System's Religion category has nine subsections, seven of which are on Christianity. The rest of the world's religions are lumped into one subsection: Other. Language has nine subsections; seven of them cover European languages.

Life is a great mystery. Is everybody a different person when they are with somebody else?

The Moment of Escape: Just One Single Moment Can Change Everything
Everything we see and our brains themselves would just be parts of this simulation.’ Oxford University philosopher Dr Nick Bostrom echoes the thoughts of sci-fi writers and scientists alike. The simulation hypothesis is not sci-fi, it’s serious academic thought. Ach, Are We Real?

If in fact by the end of the year, you find yourself ordering the story of Iron Curtain crossing, you might be able to shift some of the blame onto us. It seems that the simple and apparently mundane act of asking a question can lead to a very intentional response by the respondents or consumers.
