I was overheard to have said… Doc Searls on Reloading the Intention Economy: Your Data, Your AI, Your Terms, by Nico Fara, of The Immergence podcast.
Just some perspective. I just removed this from a post I’ve been writing: Walt Whitman put the profundity of human life in a kind of perspective when he said, “and I know the amplitude of time”—which is far more immense than most scientists imagined in Whitman’s lifetime, which lasted five years less than mine so far. Today we know the Universe is only a startup: about a dozen billion years old, with trillions of years more to go. One life is a tiny dot on a line of near infinite length. Seems worth keeping somewhere.
So, on behalf of other radio freaks, I hope he’s okay and returns soon, or hands off the work to other capable hands. To those of us for whom the sciences of broadcasting remain important, Radio TimeTraveler’s US Medium Wave Pattern References, with day and night patterns for North American AM stations, is a very handy resource. While all the links in the last sentence still work, links to maps of station coverage for every channel at the last two links no longer do. Click on a channel (say, 570 AM), and a map will start to show, then disappear, replaced by “Oops! Something went wrong. This page didn’t load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details.” The nameless author, who hasn’t posted on his blog since February, and whose bio there says “My ham call is WE7W, licensed since 1963,” is at an age (as am I) when the risk of one’s wheels falling off is high.
