Often, big thoughts emerge from small coincidences. Interesting thoughts blossom when fed by two divergent influences, the intersections.

If we can’t get what we need, we’ll grow our own. (More from the mcarp archives… the prophetic genius and brilliance are his; the ones/zeros, pixels, pictures and subheads and pull-quotes are mine.) This is the very last of the mcarp essays, written over a decade ago by former broadcast journalist Michael Carpenter. I got

We don’t really need a Reason to Be, but it certainly helps to occasionally step back and look at a larger picture. What is Occam’s RazR? What do I want it to be? It’s not what we saw from the first incarnation of the “personal weblog.” I don’t share everything here. I have Facebook, and

Looking back on the lineup from the inaugural Social South, it was clear that one of the presentations was

From today’s New York Times: Twitter has been described many ways. At its best, it has been called a revolutionary political tool and a low-cost marketing machine. At its worst, it has been dubbed a waste of time. Now, two researchers are calling it a hedonimeter, a device that measures happiness. Peter Sheridan Dodds and Christopher M. Danforth,

No, I’m not going back to television. But I will be a guest on “BSide with Alan Hunter and Dr. Josh“ tonight on Live 100.5. Alan Hunter is, well… he’s Alan Hunter. Yeah, that one. Dr. Josh Klapow is a psychology professor here in Birmingham who I had done a number of interviews with in
