There a saying that goes something like this: “There are 3 types of people in the world: those who participate in the parade, those who wave from the bleachers and the people that don’t even know there’s a parade going on”.

Uninspired
There are days when I find the internet boring. This is one of those days. Part dictionary, part soapbox, part best-way-to-not-get-work-done, part adress book, I’m simply not finding it inspiring right now.

Form of the day
The proof this is all a bubble: (Found filling out the usual form page to submit a talk for Berlin’s Web2.0 expo.)
