Although I didn't see the movie, I'd like to comment on the quality of the reviews: higher than I have seen in most major news outlets. Especially loved the writing of Jon Katz, and the opportunity to see a poem I have always loved in print again.
A couple of friends and I developed a site for credit unions called CU Realty (http://www.curealty.com) that handles everything from search (and yes, we provide addresses) to a service that helps you find a mover. Try it and give us feedback.
In my yoga class, there's a guy who lives on prana (air) and light. This strikes me as remarkably similar to that philosophically. It's the coolest thing I've heard in a long time.
The best thing about this conversation with Clay is that he's a real *thinker.* When I read his bio, I found out that his education is in *art.* That's cool. He comes at it from a humanistic perspective. I, too, discovered the Internet in 1993, because it was a free way to communicate with a daughter at Cornell. The entire basis of the Internet is freedom -- from cost, from censorship, from all social constraints.
IMHO, a CIO is the officer in an old economy company who controls how information (payables and receivables, inventory, yada) is presented to the CEO and COO and board. A CTO is an officer in a new economy company who determines how the company will move forward in developing its own technology to sell. THus, old economy companies would not need a CTO, since they probably buy versus build. In some cases, however, old economy companies do build their own and should probably have CTOS to talk about things like platforms.
Last week's New Yorker magazine had a story about a guy who wrote a song, the lyrics of which were the source code for DeCSS. It was played on the radio many times before it was banned.:-)
