Notes

Notes collected this week:

• Here is a link to a story of a most remarkable wedding between two lovely women who met on LiveJournal, found help through Craigslist and had it all documented on Blogger, Blogware and YouTube. And what is so remarkable about this story is that it is a story of how these technologies helped people find warmth and kindness and love in a company of strangers. The new world is blossoming, and we are finding one another, and discovering that we are highly pre-disposed to friendship and connection. del.icio.us!
• If, like me, you are addicted to TED talks, then you might also develop a craving for Scitalks, Humtalks and Busitalks.
• You know all those stats about “X is incresing at so much per day”?   Here’s what it looks like all toted up.   Interesting to see how bicycle production outpaces car production and how abortions run at about 60% of births.   That helps to explain why this CBC poll was hacked this month.
