Found while foraging
Writing builds curiosity which begets more writing. When a cluster grows in a way that surprises me I will try to recall its birth.
Awake early I listen to a bbc podcast featuring Brian Cox on Leadership. I reflect on my personal influences as far back as high school and more recently Carver Mead rewrites Maxwell. More queries leads to Pilot Waves and their long history since de Broglie and including the proof of nonexistence by von Neumann.
I'm interviewed by my college newspaper, the Exponent. A related article questions Wikipedia's reliability which starts me on Wiki Truth vs Folk Truth and then to Measurement, Digital Thermometer and Band-Gap Reference. But first I contrast integers vs reals and point out Trouble Accounting I solved with the former. Same time I listen to bbc coverage of Proof of Heaven touching collective interpretation and credentialism.
which makes me think
Awake early I follow a link from Mike Caulfield on Twitter to an article about vox.com developing a practice of refreshing and reissuing earlier articles.
This leads me to think about the relationship between digital Evergreen writing and Federated Wiki. link 
Digital Evergreens are stories that could run at any time, and if they're digital they can also be refreshed at any time, which shifts the date of publication to the date of latest review. What are the implications of this for FW? As a historian I find myself wanting to know about dates of ideas, revisions, forks, exchanges.
While I'm thinking about this I notice a link to an article detailing the history of the pressure exerted by automobile manufacturers in the 1920s to clear the roads of pedestrians, inventing the crime of jaywalking in the process. link
This hooks up in my thinking with an article by Jim Groom on understanding the web through transport metaphors. link
And finally circles me back to the Frost Fair as a way of understanding the carnivalesque nature of digital innovation. This is what I really want to think about.
FW has created a space for a kind of shared sketching, a digital artists colony. The key is time.
