Cool--I like the way it fades to white, that's especially effective when you drag it up to the largest scale. It's posted to the archive, but the URL in your email to empyre is different from the one you have here--takes me to a "page not found."
Since we're talking about things that didn't make it into the archive, Liza Sabater cc'd this to the panelists because, she said, it seemed to be in the "empyre holding bin." That was over a week ago and I haven't seen it in the archive: On Jun 03 2005, at 08:21 PM, Melinda Rackham wrote:
hello all..
have enjoyed the posts so far but im noticing that the tendency this month to
carry on the discussion or post in the guests own domains rather than within
the empyre area.. or maybe ist talking the empyre arena into your domains - im
not sure.. it s interesting
however i'm wondering if the blogging paradigm is consequential of, or perhaps
creates, this constant referral to self as a the central point of connection in
a wider network.
does this mark a shift to distributing the self from a node so to speak rather
than free ranging..

Hi Melinda,
Are you inferring an e-list is free-ranging but blogging is not?
Free-ranging needs an wide, open spaces. Let's not confuse nomads with monads.
Even nomads living in the wide open have to stop to setup camps.
For rest, for fun, for food, for trading.
The camp is the activity (or rest) of the nomads; much in the same way as the network is the inter-activity of nodes.
Blogs with their infrastructure : META, trackbacks, comments, RSS, tags & categories, search engine ranks, blogrolls, referrers, stylesheets, databases. They are networks, maps, communities, publications, personas.
They're records of being as non-essential.

This is frustrating to read because the phrase "does this mark a shift to distributing the self from a node so to speak rather than free ranging.." makes no sense whatsoever, and instead of asking for a clarification, Liza says "are you inferring that...?" and launches into whatever she wanted to say based on what she thinks Rackham meant. Maybe this is why it didn't appear in the archive, but that's not a reason to censor it (especially since Rackham is one of the moderators). It's always possible something went wrong with the email and then Liza didn't press it...
