Lazy Sunday

It is Sunday. the weather is very, very gloomy. Winter is on its way (or at least summer is in retreat).

I have just installed a plug in to my Firefox browser called Stumble (a recommendation by Philip Slade, a member of my Ziki community in the UK). You choose the topics that interest you. When you click the Stumble button in the browser toolbar it randomly goes to a page that might be of interest. Users vote on the site's via a sort of 'love it or shove it' tool. I have had a few go's and only come up with one dull (though beautifully executed page).

So far this has been my favourite:



One other tool I have been playing with is the Web TV utility called Joost which is in Beta. You can watch MTV shows, some National Geographic, the car show 5th Gear and a bunch of other stuff I have yet to figure out. Who knows what it is doing to my bandwidth consumption. I think you can sign up as a Beta tester (though if you need an invitation just drop me a line).

    Hi, the video is great. It's Paris subway I think.
    And yes, if you have Joost invites, I would love to have one. You can drop me a line here: saskia (at) graffiti (dot) net.

    Thanks!

The Great Johnny Bunko Challenge from DHP on Vimeo . There's a young chap in Indiana, one Alec Quig , who has written to me about creating a career based on a polymathic degree, from which he has recently graduated. He's an interesting young man and his concerns about going forward in life are the anxieties we all face at crossroads in our lives when we are forced to make choices. Dan Pink's latest book The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You'll Ever Need might help: "From a New York Times, BusinessWeek, and Washington Post bestselling author comes a first-of-its- kind career guide for a new generation of job seekers.There's never been a career guide like it.the fully illustrated story (ingeniously told in Manga form) of a young Everyman just out of college who lands his first job. Johnny Bunko is new to parachute company Boggs Corp., and he stumbles through his early days as a working stiff until a crisis prompts him to find a new job. St
