We are all the same..  and our sisters and brothers in Haiti need the support of us all.  Please do what you can.  All we need is love.

The marking of the year is the most simple form of magic.

Today Twine went live.  After many months of invite-only operation, Radar Network’s much anticipated “conceptual & contextual bookmark/comment sharing” social network is now fully open to the public.
Congrats go out to Nova Spivak and the Twine team on their achievement.
I was fortunate to be invited into Twine a few months ago.  I enthusiastically recommend the [...]
