Interesting you point this out in the midst of a book discussion. Why do I say that? Well, Stephen and I (and others) have wondered a couple of times how we should "steer" FRIAM and the mail list. Just stay with a list as it is? Augment it with a Wiki or community blog? Have a couple of specialized sub-lists? (An example of a sub- list is WedTech, just a local bunch of folks who can meet on Wednesday noon for lunch and a complexity chat). Projects? (Nick's MOTH model and analysis is an example.) .. and now possibly a book?
The Edge http://www.edge.org/ certainly does supply an interesting direction for FRIAM in terms of a web site with a bit more structure. Its is "moderated" by Brockman, a very creative publisher and editor. Not that the list would disappear, but it would have interesting parallel efforts. -- Owen Owen Densmore http://backspaces.net - http://redfish.com - http://friam.org On Jul 31, 2006, at 10:59 AM, Giles Bowkett wrote: > you know, I missed this when you first posted it, but this is pretty > interesting. > > On 7/19/06, Owen Densmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Many of the current discussions on neurons, conscienceless, the >> brain, computers etc are nicely addressed by the Edge's last >> Question: >> http://www.edge.org/q2005/q05_print.html >> >> They built a book out of several of the responses. >> >> -- Owen >> >> Owen Densmore >> http://backspaces.net - http://redfish.com - http://friam.org >> >> >> >> ============================================================ >> FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv >> Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College >> lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org >> > > > -- > Giles Bowkett > http://www.gilesgoatboy.org > > ============================================================ > FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv > Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College > lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
