Many writers feel less and less comfortable in a literary environment densely populated by publishers, editors, agents, distributors, brokers, advertising, chain bookstores, sales staff, cameras and photographers. The writer and his reader, the two most key chain, today are more isolated than ever. [it] Molti scrittori si sentono sempre meno a loro agio in un ambiente letterario fittamente popolato di editori, redattori, agenti, distributori, mediatori, pubblicitari, catene di librerie, addetti alla vendita, telecamere, fotografi. Lo scrittore e il suo lettore, le due figure più importanti della catena, oggi sono più isolati che mai. Dubravka Ugresic

Italo Calvino’s Six Memos for the Next Millennium contains five memos, or personal testaments. The sixth was never written on paper. Each memo on lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, and multiplicity acts as a guideline for life and creativity. Six Memos for the Next Millennium is a book one should all read to endure a more satisfying life of clarity and simplicity. Although Calvino’s book was primarily written in regards to literature, his book can also relate to the fields of art and design. As in writing, design and typography should be light, clear, and simple while still maintaining a visually appealing and comprehensive story. Essentially, a designer and typographer convey to their audience “a story” that must be visually read and understood. Typography, design and writing portray messages, personalities, and hidden meanings for their audience in different ways but also much in the same vein.

Doubling as International Year of Biodiversity and of the Rapprochement of Cultures, 2010 celebrates two essential facets of diversity: the heritage which is key to human life on Earth. Through poetry and science, humanity has been able to capture a full range of the world’s diversity. From their distinctive perspectives, poetry and science embody humanity’s noblest quest: that which UNESCO’s Constitution identifies as “the unrestricted pursuit of truth”.

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 22:55:51 -0800 Who finds 1000 True Fans finds a treasure http://oddtag.posterous.com/who-finds-1000-true-fans-finds-a-treasure http://oddtag.posterous.com/who-finds-1000-true-fans-finds-a-treasure via: The Technium: 1,000 True Fans.
The long tail is famously good news for two classes of people; a few lucky aggregators, such as Amazon and Netflix, and 6 billion consumers. Of those two, I think consumers earn the greater reward from the wealth hidden in infinite niches. But the long tail is a decidedly mixed blessing for creators. Individual artists, producers, inventors and makers are overlooked in the equation. The long tail does not raise the sales of creators much, but it does add massive competition and endless downward pressure on prices. Unless artists become a large aggregator of other artist's works, the long tail offers no path out of the quiet doldrums of minuscule sales. Other than aim for a blockbuster hit, what can an artist do to escape the long tail? One solution is to find 1,000 True Fans. While some artists have discovered this path without calling it that, I think it is worth trying to formalize. The gist of 1,000 True Fans can be stated simply: A creator, such as an artist, musician, photographer, craftsperson, performer, animator, designer, videomaker, or author - in other words, anyone producing works of art - needs to acquire only 1,000 True Fans to make a living.

E’ un circolo virtuoso.

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 18:09:12 -0700 Please Stand Up http://oddtag.posterous.com/please-stand-up http://oddtag.posterous.com/please-stand-up via: Conscientious txt: Click here to disappear: thoughts on images and democracy
Has democracy increased with the growth of the internet? Obviously not. It has diminished significantly. Why? Because the desire for public, democratic participation has been displaced onto consumer goods and services and dispersed into isolated individual speech. Whatever else it is, the internet is primarily an advertising medium. Access to images and information has certainly increased, but has this led to better informed citizens? No. It has led to more docile citizens, who spend more of their time in the collection and sorting of images and information (and in what Simon Schama has called the computer's "lazy democracy of significance") and less time on analysis, critical thinking, or real "socialising". Perhaps we need to find a word other than "democracy" to describe what's happening in our communications environment.
txt: Digital Democracy and the New Age of Reason
Franklin Roosevelt said that "Democracy is not a static thing." He was right. It is constantly changing; reinventing itself; expanding and retracting as the political environment warms and cools to its precepts. Digital democracy will be no different at its core, but it has an opportunity unlike any in the history of the world to bring people and ideas together. If we embrace this exciting digital world, our own democracy will be strengthened and civilization will surely embark on a new Age of Reason and a new era of individual freedom.

Tue, 06 May 2008 19:21:31 -0700 Creating a World Without Poverty http://oddtag.posterous.com/creating-a-world-without-poverty http://oddtag.posterous.com/creating-a-world-without-poverty txt: Creating a World Without Poverty by Muhammad Yunus
Three themes are central to this book. The first is poverty—its causes and cure. I will show that poverty is created by economic, social, and political systems, and by false ideas—not by the laziness, ignorance, or moral failings of the poor. The second theme is the role of women as drivers of the coming revolution. Current social arrangements especially victimize poor women. If the creativity, energy, and desire for family improvement that are latent in hundreds of millions of the world's women can be unleashed, nothing can stand in their way. The third theme is technology as a crucial enabler of the revolution. New ways of managing and communicating information are already changing lives the world over. Now these tools must be made available to everyone, including residents of the most remote villages in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The result will be decentralization of economic andpolitical power as worldwide markets in ideas, goods, and services become accessible to all.

In the new web era, we will use that power to make a living. That is why I call this new era the Main Street Web. This is a nod to Geoffrey Moore’s Crossing The Chasm, the point in the adoption cycle when technology goes mainstream. The Main Street Web is about people who don’t care about technology or media, they just use it. Above all it is about really simple business models that work in the physical world as well as online world. The Main Street Web will empower small business and level the playing field with big business. [...] The final post in this series, “Dancing with Gorillas”, looks at opportunities for entrepreneurs in the emerging Main Street Web in a world dominated by a few big companies such as Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, eBay and Amazon.

The growing proletarianization of modern man and the increasing formation of masses are two aspects of the same process. Fascism attempts to organize the newly created proletarian masses without affecting the property structure which the masses strive to eliminate. Fascism sees its salvation in giving these masses not their right, but instead a chance to express themselves. The masses have a right to change property relations; Fascism seeks to give them an expression while preserving property. The logical result of Fascism is the introduction of aesthetics into political life. [...] “Fiat ars – pereat mundus”, says Fascism, and, as Marinetti admits, expects war to supply the artistic gratification of a sense perception that has been changed by technology. This is evidently the consummation of “l’art pour l’art.” Mankind, which in Homer’s time was an object of contemplation for the Olympian gods, now is one for itself. Its self-alienation has reached such a degree that it can experience its own destruction as an aesthetic pleasure of the first order. This is the situation of politics which Fascism is rendering aesthetic. Communism responds by politicizing art.

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 14:46:56 -0700 Happy Easter to everybody http://oddtag.posterous.com/happy-easter-to-everybody http://oddtag.posterous.com/happy-easter-to-everybody text: wikipedia - easter egg
A virtual Easter egg is an intentional hidden message or feature in an object such as a movie, book, CD, DVD, computer program, or video game. The term draws a parallel with the custom of the Easter egg hunt observed in many western nations. This practice is analogous to hidden signature motifs such as Diego Rivera including himself in his murals or Alfred Hitchcock's legendary cameo appearances. An early example of these kind of "Easter eggs" is Al Hirschfeld's "Nina". Atari's Adventure, released in 1979, contained what is thought to be the first video game "Easter egg": the name of the programmer (Warren Robinett). In computer programming, the underlying motivation is often to put an individual, almost artistic touch on an intellectual product which is by its nature standardised and functional.
video: Happy Tree Friends - Toothy's Easter Smoochie [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP8avO4rlMQ] think: Inner peace - wikipedia
peace of mind refers to a state of being mentally or spiritually at peace, with enough knowledge and understanding to keep oneself strong in the face of discord or stress. Being "at peace" is considered by many to be healthy (homeostasis) and the opposite of being stressed or anxious. Peace of mind is generally associated with bliss and happiness. Peace of mind, serenity, and calmness are descriptions of a disposition free from the effects of stress. In some cultures, inner peace is considered a state of consciousness or enlightenment that may be cultivated by various forms of training, such as prayer, meditation, T'ai Chi Ch'uan or yoga, for example. Many spiritual practices refer to this peace as an experience of knowing oneself. Finding inner peace is often associated with traditions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, emphasizes the importance of inner peace in the world: "The question of real, lasting world peace concerns human beings, so basic human feelings are also at its roots. Through inner peace, genuine world peace can be achieved. In this the importance of individual responsibility is quite clear; an atmosphere of peace must first be created within ourselves, then gradually expanded to include our families, our communities, and ultimately the whole planet.

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 22:25:07 -0700 The economy of kindness http://oddtag.posterous.com/the-economy-of-kindness http://oddtag.posterous.com/the-economy-of-kindness txt: kindness - wikipedia
Kindness is considered to be one of the Knightly Virtues, and is a recognized value in many cultures and religions (see ethics in religion). It is considered to be one of the seven virtues, specifically the one of the Seven Contrary Virtues (direct opposites of the seven deadly sins) that is the direct opposite to envy[1]. The Talmud claims that "deeds of kindness are equal in weight to all the commandments." Paul of Tarsus defines love as being `patient and kind...` (I Corinthians). In Buddhism, one of the Ten Perfections (Paramitas) is Mettā, which is usually translated into English as "loving-kindness". Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama wrote "my religion is kindness" and authored a book entitled Kindness, Clarity, and Insight.[2] Confucius urges his followers to "recompense kindness with kindness." According to book two of Aristotle's Rhetoric it is one of the emotions (see list of emotions), which is defined as being "helpfulness towards some one in need, not in return for anything, nor for the advantage of the helper himself, but for that of the person helped"[3]. One of the four caryatids on the Wallace fountains in Paris represents kindness. In a study of 37 cultures around the world, 16000 subjects were asked about their most desired traits in a mate. For both sexes, the first preference was kindness (the second was intelligence).[4] Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche had this to say about kindness: Economy of kindness. Kindness and love, the most curative herbs and agents in human intercourse, are such precious finds that one would hope these balsamlike remedies would be used as economically as possible; but this is impossible. Only the boldest Utopians would dream of the economy of kindness.

British 15-to-19-year-olds admit spending significantly less time doing homework than they used to as a result of their use of social-networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Bebo, according to research published today. While teachers and parents will be dismayed, the 2008 Digital Entertainment Survey also makes uncomfortable reading for commercial TV executives. It shows that not only does a significant proportion of the important 15- to 19-year-old audience watch less television as a result of social networking, but that the vast majority of Britain's 15-to-54-year-olds fast-forward through adverts when they watch programmes they have recorded.

Robert Niles at Online Journalism Review has a practical guide to linking on the web, where he observes: "Ultimately, the addition of useful hyperlinking within an online news story reflects the strong reporting of its author. If a reporter does not know of online pages with extra information relating to the story, he or she cannot link to them. But if you have that information, why not share it with those readers who are eager for it?" Again, I would take this a step further — links aren’t just a fundamental element of the reporting. Links can BE the reporting.
