gotta start somewhere

i'm curating noahbrier.com.

clicking through the "older post" links, i find the first post on page 7.

there's also a personal statement, that comes before that ... with a lot of links in it. i can't link to that, as far as i can tell. you just have go back and find it, i guess.

noah's projects (in the order listed):
percolate
brandtags
likemind
myfirsttweet (whoa, a lincoln ad!)

first post: really depressing data on gender equity in the work place

... a peek into the google algorithm

... some bs about the locavore movement

... some ideas about how to structure a business ... but who can read this garbage ... absolutely nothing you can use to GET STARTED. i want to look at the extensive comments more closely. if i'm saying it leads to nothing practical, i have to do the research, and show it's true.

... a cute bit of fluff from the onion

... i don't care about your stupid data, i shop as green as i can ... which is pretty green ... and i'm just as smug as you are. references The Economist Free Exchange. god i hate The Economist. and refs. something they ref.

... "is indie dead?" does being cute and clever make a post consequential? do a hundred inconsequential posts add up to anything? yeah, you're a big success, but is that because you're cute and clever ... or because you're part of a club? by the way, you mention paste magazine. that might be fun.

... ah, the famous doer-thinker debate. you get something done, because you're a thinker, and part of a club, and suddenly all the other thinkers - outside of the members - are a lower order of existence ... quoting thomas friedman, no less.

... yeah, i think about this stuff. i'm sure my thoughts are vastly inferior, but here they are. there is no difference between experience and memory. the whole purpose of experiencing something is to remember it. wanna enhance the internet? enhance its memory. you actually reference this two years later. (this post is dated march 22, 2010. the later one is dated march 5, 2012.) (the later post references News.me)

... fluff ... pretty cute

... so, you don't like bureaucracy ... the noble art ... let's see what your guy has to say about complexity ... let's peek into your club ... here (gaming the system is something i want to do), and here. listen, i don't hate you guys, i just think you're not being helpful ... you're the powers that be, you should be helpful. by the way, the second law is complete crap, and you're just talking about it to sound erudite.

... all about noah ... expounding on "innovation" for fellow club members ... i mean, the slides are really cool ... i don't mind studying your methods ... but the idea is about 1 inch deep ... are you some kind of right winger? yeah, stuff that isn't commercially successful has relevance, including economic relevance ... stupid ... just because professor shumpeter sais otherwise doesn't make it so. what you're advocating, now in several posts, is ANARCHY. you wouldn't allow it in your club, where everybody must behave, but outside, it's everyone for themselves. about the iPhone, and technology that doesn't break, you are onto something. but now who's dreaming? the only way to make stuff that won't break is to give people the knowlege they need to maintain it. how do we get from your blog to information about how to actually do this stuff? by getting into harvard? colbert. doctorow. will apple be able to get away with having a closed system? notes on serendipity. whoo hoo. you take something sublime, and color it grey.
