Optimal Friction™

Not many people are as amazing at blogging (POPTech or anything else for that matter) as Ethan Zuckerman. If you want an accurate and articulate description of almost every session, go here. Ethan and I are from the Berkshires in western Massachusetts, and live only a few minutes apart. He's amazing at listening, interpreting, and writing in human simulcast. He confessed that it's because he appreciates the value of unplugging from talking, and going into this "zone."

We all benefit from his gift.

I'm shifting to selective blogging from here on out so that I can listen more attentively, make mind-mapping notes by hand, and taking photos. My posts are going to have as many images as I can muster. Also, my brain is starting to seriously churn and assimilate what all this here at POPTech means. It's more a reflective mindful experience than a reporting one. I plan to bring more of that soon, but it takes time to incubate.

So if you would please excuse me, I'm going to listen more right now, and multi-task less.
