If it doesn’t get cooler tonight than it did last night, I’m going to have to consider sleeping in the garden.

Starbound: Economics Forum

Originally published at Now Is A Long Time Too. You can comment here or there.

Right, I’ve finally settled on a time and place for the Starbound Ecomics Forum. Following the excellent discussions on previous posts, I invite anyone who’s interested to turn up in the Westmoreland Inn on Westmoreland Street on Saturday 17th of June at 15:00, to discuss FTL trade and economics. I’ve yet to mention this to the Westmoreland, but I don’t think they’ll have any problem with it. That’s not the pub in the Westin Hotel, mind. RSVPs useful, but not essential. I’ll bring some notepaper, other people may bring laptops or the like for better note-taking.

Edit: Corrected “July” to “June” - see, I’m already living in the future!

The Collective Volley

Jaron Lanier wrote a piece in last week’s Edge, titled Digital Maoism, bemoaning the state of authority of collective works on the internet. He’s provoked quite a response.
