At Dan Dubno’s site, Gizmorama, you’ll find a link to the amazing EarthViewer, demoed at TED. Type an address into the client and it delivers a cinematically thrilling aerial view of the locatio. There’s a 14-day free trial on the site. The Gizmorama site also has links to other ditigal images of the earth and a link to CBS News’ comprehensive links about disasters of every stripe.

Dave Rogers blogs on Dvorak on Cluetrain and blogging (see my previous blog entry).

Tom Shugart has started a blog. Looks promising. His very first entry is a reflection on the authenticity blogthread. Tom takes a pretty radically existential position: “…inventing the self is a supreme act of personal responsibility. You’re either creating it and putting it out there or you’re operating as a default self—i.e., without authenticity.” Invent or discover? (Note: Tom’s way too flattering about this blog. I am blushing undeservedly.)

Hermani Dimantas has started a blog. I assume it’s good because, although it’s in Portuguese and thus impenetrable to me, I know from correspondence with Hermani that he’s an enthusiastic, smart guy.

Ryan Mulcahy, from Darwin Magazine for whom I write a weekly online column, recommends a site for people trying to quit cigarettes. My mother died of lung cancer, Ryan, so you know I mean it when I wish you luck and strength.
