Daily Dose of Dust
Jozef Imrich, name worthy of Kafka, has his finger on the pulse of any irony of interest and shares his findings to keep you in-the-know with the savviest trend setters and infomaniacs.
''I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.''

I am looking forward to an open, transparent and meritocracy-based communication, attributes that bloggers are famous for!
Here are some tidbits from head of the Federal Communications Commission, Michael Powell's blog at http://www.alwayson-network.com/
The Blog, The Press, The Media: The Blogger, the Pamphleteer, and Mixed Blessings
The blogosphere is Berlin in the late eighteenth century. It is London in the late seventeenth century. It is Paris...well, pretty consistently since the French Revolution on. The blogosphere is all of these, wrapped up into one overwhelming whole.
What does it mean to say this? Simply put, the blogosphere now seems to fit the space that pamphleteers and small journals in ages past once held. Where once groups of individuals would come together to create, say, the Berlinischer Monatsschrift, today any individual with a computer, Internet access, and time can do the same. Indeed, where in previous ages, the writers needed to be near to one another, now an online weblog can include people from Texas, DC, Indiana, California, and England in realtime. The flurry of ideas that one could see at those points in history has now come to the masses.
