Tickets for the Camden Crawl are on sale. Here’s a video from last year. I love living in Camden.
Hugh Macleod: “These days I’ve started seeing the internet as just a manifestation of something far more primal and ancient […] It’s all about Human Connection. Love. Everything else is secondary”.
8/12/06: Susan Buice: “Feeling connected to the world and to other human experiences is what makes me feel alive and happy. When I don’t feel connected I feel like a meaningless blob of flesh and I want to die”.
Valleywag: “We suspect that companies such as IBM, which have assigned marketing budgets to Second Life, expected to reach corporate decisionmakers, rather than a few fetishists who got lost on their way to the nearest online brothel”.
I agree with Hugh that humans have an inbuilt urge to connect. We want to connect with people in all sorts of ways, we also want to connect ideas in our head together and share these with others. Why did I post the last three links? Because in some way I felt they were all connected. I didn’t start out with the aim to do this, it just kind of ended up that way. I think connection (love?) is how we make sense of things.
