I think I'm learning that I'm done being <a href="http://velociraptor.info/notes/?p=88" rel="nofollow">helps people</a> but that is very different from being an organizer and writer and strategic planner who understands technology really well. You want someone to come fix it for you and then send you a bill? Okay, I'm sure there is someone out there who can help you. Want help figuring it out for yourself? That is interesting to me. I'm looking forward to seeing where you take metacentric. --Amanda PS. I don't really get this whole "multiple blogs" thing. Can't you just use categories?

I’m looking forward to seeing where you take metacentric.

PS. I don’t really get this whole “multiple blogs” thing. Can’t you just use categories?

And thanks for the link - I'd not read that blog before, it's quite interesting. John,

So you get people like me who kinda, sorta, understand. I wanted to send you a link to a short and interesting post <a href="http://platformwars.blogspot.com/2007/04/tcpip-vs-dollar-part-3-ceos-of-open.html" rel="nofollow">here </a> by Phil Jones. I thought of your recent discussion of open content in journals, but wasn't sure what post to add the link to. I want to offer my good wishes for your new venture MetaCentric Technology Advising. "finding the balance and looking at the big picture" sealed where to put this. Phil's observation about less money to be made in open source has this choice retort: "Remember, trying to measure the information / attention / netocratic economy in dollars is like trying to figure out the worth of Microsoft by the number of acres it occupies." I'm glad there are smart, and more importantly very kind people like you learning the way through this very puzzling new terrain. Thanks for blogging.
