Wikis need a Blog

Bliki, Wiki, Chiki, Reeky? A good point about how a Weblog like interface to a Wiki does a good job of inviting, though the bigger point is the culrural issue. Wikis, especially the big successful ones, are really about the community where Weblogs are usually about an individual. Regardless a Blog interface couldn’t hurt.
Now this tthinking raises a thought, what if Slashdot was more Wiki like with it’s comments?
Update: There already is a Wiki Slash Plugin, SlashWiki, Slash’s Wiki Plugin the article. It would probably end up as a “First Post” with lots of intresting stuff in the changes.

An Internet way of self-knowledge, Yet Another Why Blog, but this one is good.

The discipline of logging every web-article you find interesting and spelling out your reaction takes the journal in a very different direction, because unlike the private life-events of a diary, every weblog-reader can share the exact same experience of reading the web-article, and so know exactly what you’re reacting to.

One for engel.

the dishonorable professions

Academia and the law often reward obfuscation as a way of making trivialities more impressive, and lies more credible.

But web-hypertext is useful to the degree that it resists obfuscation, instead laying out its insights as clearly as possible.

When I Die

Instructions In The Event That The Bus I’m On Suddenly Spins Out of Control and Crashes and I Die

I have a collection of pornography on my hard drive in a folder called �reference.� Delete it.

Which makes me wonder, what “I really didn’t want to know” types of things are found when sorting through the departed’s belongings.

If you have a memorial for me, everyone who talks has to mention at least one thing they couldn�t stand about me. Make this clear up front: no one gets to speak without mentioning at least one negative. And it can�t be a bullshit negative like, He was too fucking funny. I�m not kidding about this. It�s my last request.

One memoriable memorials was for a kid who died of cancer shortly after graduating from highschool. Sometime during the kemo treatments he bought a bottle of champagne. It was to be drunk when he went into remission or at his memorial where he also wanted everything he owned sold to pay for a party for all his friend. I heard that the champagne was great and the party even better.
