Something to have handy while waiting to go through security screening at O'Hare.

Download the US Constitution for your iPod. An anonymous BoingBoing reader says, "The Constitution of the United States has just been released for the iPod. This is cool on several fronts, not the least of which is the fact that it was produced by the American Constitution Society, a progressive lawyer's group associated with Mario Cuomo and Janet Reno. To my knowledge, this marks the first time a major DC policy group has attempted to use the iPod to accomplish its goals." Link [Boing Boing]

Something to think about. No surprise, I'm sure, but I view the continued capacity to learn as the important factor here. Which generally depends on the capacity to not know and the capacity to be comfortable with not knowing.

I was lucky enough to go to schools that did not systematically crush and destroy that capacity. I guess that means I am still a kid. Fine by me.

One curious thing about being willing to not know. If you do succeed in getting conventional credentials that suggest that you have learned a lot, people assume that your claims of ignorance and not knowing are a strategy, not a simple claim of fact. They're not.

Another bit of fun from Dina. I've been engaged in this argument for almost as long as there have been personal computers, perhaps longer than that. In fact, I think I will follow this advice now and call it a night. There's certainly no way I'm going to catch up with Scoble anyway.

Conversations !.

This is for all blog spouses - Judith sent me the link this morning - thanks J !

Do you find yourself in this situation ?

I do sometimes :):):).
