Yesterday, I was flying from Phoenix to Denver all the while watching the landscape below me and reading
Everything is Miscellaneous by David Weinberger. I saw the author speak at the ClickZ.com "ten years..." dinner and was
sufficiently impressed that he had something worthwhile to say that I was
pleased to discover a copy of his book in the swag bag. I'm only half way in, but his general gist so far is that the material nature of objects imposes limitations on their organization in space and the web blows the lid off of that as the web offers infinite categorization of objects. I'll tell you later if I recommend the book, but so far he's made some interesting points. So if you get a free copy, read it otherwise - hold the line.
I am more or less fascinated with Taxonomy, so it's pretty fitting that my first post where I inagurate both my blog and my first category is taxomonious (not sure that's a word.)
