Orson Welles quotes

missrogue — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 01:15:29 PDT

“In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.”

At Failcamp, embracing their screwups | Philadelphia Inquirer | 08/13/2008

missrogue — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 11:15:05 PDT

At Failcamp, mistakes were OK. Admitting them was even better. As one participant said by means of introduction, "I fail on a regular basis, and I thought this would be a good spot for me. I mean, I failed five times in that sentence." It's OK because out of failure can come valuable lessons, ones that can lead to future success. That's the message Failcamp organizers Alex Hillman and Amy Hoy wanted to get across to the 20 people who met in Old City last month to share stories of their setbacks.

Social Capital and Civil Society - Francis Fukuyama - Prepared for delivery at the IMF Conference on Second Generation Reforms

missrogue — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 09:46:51 PDT

The definition I will use in this paper is: social capital is an instantiated informal norm that promotes cooperation between two or more individuals. The norms that constitute social capital can range from a norm of reciprocity between two friends, all the way up to complex and elaborately articulated doctrines like Christianity or Confucianism. They must be instantiated in an actual human relationship: the norm of reciprocity exists in potentia in my dealings with all people, but is actualized only in my dealings with my friends. By this definition, trust, networks, civil society, and the like which have been associated with social capital are all epiphenominal, arising as a result of social capital but not constituting social capital itself.

How Much Time Should You Spend Networking?

missrogue — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:47:54 PDT

And it's a very dangerous thing in this world to not share information. People are paranoid about giving out information, and you don't want to be stupid, but you have to think that competitors can also be colleagues. The old business models are changing and you're putting yourself at a positional disadvantage if you're just relying on internal information now.

Digital Domain - Goodbye, Passwords. You Aren’t a Good Defense. - NYTimes.com

missrogue — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 20:30:14 PDT

OpenID offers, at best, a little convenience, and ignores the security vulnerability inherent in the process of typing a password into someone else’s Web site. Nevertheless, every few months another brand-name company announces that it has become the newest OpenID signatory. Representatives of Google, I.B.M., Microsoft and Yahoo are on OpenID’s guiding board of corporations. Last month, when MySpace announced that it would support the standard, the nonprofit foundation OpenID.net boasted that the number of “OpenID enabled users” had passed 500 million and that “it’s clear the momentum is only just starting to pick up.” Support for OpenID is conspicuously limited, however. Each of the big powers supposedly backing OpenID is glad to create an OpenID identity for visitors, which can be used at its site, but it isn’t willing to rely upon the OpenID credentials issued by others. You can’t use Microsoft-issued OpenID at Yahoo, nor Yahoo’s at Microsoft.

Emily Chang - Blog: Female Bloggers

missrogue — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 19:55:13 PDT

I don’t tend to pay the most attention to lists and rankings. There’s always deserving people that don’t get included and the general nature of lists is subjective. That said, I appreciate the recognition, the time it took to put together these lists, and I’m honored to be included among many of my own favorite female bloggers. It’s a good reminder of what blogging is all about - sharing your own voice and ideas, whether it’s to an audience of ten or ten million.

BitchBuzz - For feisty women with their knickers in a twist

missrogue — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 13:46:40 PDT

So, sports fans, what do you think is the heart of the problem? Is it that having a freer environment around work identities will force women to try to look “hot” to be more valued Or that women who aspire to leadership roles should keep their sexuality under wraps and private? Is it that post-‘70s feminists just don’t get it and aren’t listening? Or that third-wave young women are letting their credibility commit suicide when they call themselves ‘girls’? Bingo! Major disconnect.

Doc Searls Weblog · Life in the vast lane

missrogue — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 13:46:02 PDT

I think the main problem for Wikipedia isn’t just scaling. It’s that Wikipedia is worst at something it is also best at: dealing with living subjects. On the one hand I’m astonished at how well Wikipedia stays on top of changing topics such as the world’s tallest structures. (Here’s a second entry, and a third.) On the other I’ve often winced at how lousy Wikipedia can be at presenting accurate biographical information about living people (Dave Winer comes to mind), and at maintaining both accuracy and neutrality on topics such as, well, neutrality. Too much of what gets written are iterative errors and approximations by partisans.
