THe mind conference! What fun we had in there. Laundromania was one of the all-time great playgrounds. [Read entire topic]

Sorry for the delay! I was gone for a week and then it took me several days to catch up. While I was on the road I gave a talk at the Media Lab, followed by a conversation with Joi and Mimi Ito. It has received a lot of comment:

I will try to return to catch up on some of the questions that were posted in my absence. And thanks for the nudge, Gail. I will check out VC. I found myself thinking about the Mind conference a while back. I think I started that around September or October, 1985!

Yes, I love the conversational mode and spend way too much time in the forums and blog comments for the courses I teach at Stanford and Rheingold U. [Read entire topic]

Howard, Hi. Enjoyed your other books and this discussion. We like your work and want to buy this one. We are regular readers of Inkwell.

What do you like best about the Well now compared to back in the day? You are a visitor who was once a regular (I gather from the comments anyway) so you are in a good position to observe -- how has the members-only area evolved?

Peace and !!! [Read entire topic]

Thanks, Jon, Ted, Howard and all the readers. Best continued luck with this book!

I liked it for a deeper dive, but I do find I like reading you best interactively, Howard. I think conversation is your sweet spot.

Virtually drop by the <vc.> Conference you launched so ling ago, and check up on the locals who follow this stuff, ok? That would be good serious fun. [Read entire topic]

I pinged Howard. He's on the road and can't make it back to answer final questions until next Thursday. He thanks everyone for the great conversation - look for his final responses soon. [Read entire topic]

Excellent. Today is the final day for this two-week discussion. We've barely scratched the surface here; the book is rich with information and guidance. [Read entire topic]

I do hope you will return to the Well from time to time. [Read entire topic]
