Aggregate Intelligence and the Singularity

There is an idea frequently referred to as Technological Singularity. Simply put, the concept is that pace of technological progress has been accelerating throughout human history; going a little faster all the time. Eventually the theory goes; technology will be progressing so fast we’ll break though the barrier of humanity itself, cultural light speed. The […]

Identity Philosophy 1

I have been working away for a few weeks trying to fuse OpenID-type technology with peer-to-peer-type technology. P2PID I like to call it.
I’m pretty sure such a beast is the solution to a lot of the grief seen on the net today. Issues like credibility, who to trust, peer review, not having big companies control […]

I want a way to track all my clicks when I read the Wikipedia, and ideally your clicks too. Who looked at what article, when and from where they clicked in and out.

The article itself is perhaps a bit overly dramatic but the idea of breaking the carbon barrier and exchanging information bidirectionally between cells and machines does […]

TV from here

Television is changing. Personal Video Recorder technology combined with the Internet is letting people watch what they want when they want it. I believe ultimately this will lead to major positive changes in the content.

On tagging

Wow, I guess tagging got hot. Yahoo bought Flickr, and now Del.icio.us too.
Some thoughts. I use both of these sites heavily and there seems to be a lot of concern that Yahoo is going to stick ads all over everything and generally muck things up. I’m not sure. Admittedly merging Yahoo’s ID system with […]

How to Save the Music Business: Idea #1

The Future
In the future, downloading is good. In the future, musicians and when available their record labels, will be whatever it takes to get you to download their music. The most profitable music will be the music that makes a profound emotional connection with its fans, not disposable of-the-moment pop.
In the future, CDs will […]
