Random ruminations of an Evolutionary Technologist (a.k.a. Edublogger) who believes that "It's not what you take but what you leave behind..." Fun part of that could put him in good company with the likes of Benjamin Franklin, Eisenhower, JFK, John Lennon and Steven Spielberg. Longer list is here. Serious part is that he also focusses on Technology, Economics and Society.

Yet another item connected to the "Collapse of Power".
Ever heard of the Dunbar Number? Something to consider on scalability of social connections. Read more. And thanks to Christopher Allen.
Ian Dickson talks about the psychology in software in relation to Reed's Law (2^n) where he distinguishes Potential Groups and Actual Groups (Real people). Lin is here: http://www.emint.org/papers/iandickson/reedslaw.htm
He also promotes CommKit in http://commkit.com/ckfe2a.cfm?Whichone=9&flag=1
which can perhaps address the issue of the Dunbar Number.
