Cal Newport: The Deep Life: Some Notes. To me, the deep life is about focusing with energetic intention on things that really matter — in work, at home, and in your soul — and not wasting too much attention on things that don’t. (SimplestThing) (more)
Cal Newport: More Thoughts on Amplifying Meaning in Your Work. Earlier this week I explored how practitioners of the deep life sometimes use inspiring environments to amplify the meaning they derive from their work. Today, I want to briefly elaborate on two other strategies I’ve observed for accomplishing this same goal… (more)

Mark Bernstein: Categories and tags and the like are all efforts to build value from archives. They usually fail, because they ask you to work now to get benefits later, and because their value diminishes if you don't use them every single day. Perhaps some Automatic Linking might help. (more)
Google is going to finally help in the SpamWars via a No Follow tag attribute which blog software developers can use in their Comment forms to reduce the Page Rank benefit of Comment Spam. See 2004-02-08-CommentSpamIdea for similar idea. Here's Google's official announcement plus some comments from Dave Winer. (more)
A key Ted Nelson/Xanadu reference. I'm not clear on the precise definition. I think of it as "inclusion via reference" (e.g. from the viewer's perspective a remote document is "part of" the current document, but it's really being pulled/displayed from that remote original store). (more)
Kevin Marks on decentralized approaches to Tagsonomy (2004-01-18-TechnoratiTags). He notes that to get picked up by Technorati you don't have to link to their tag URI. I wonder whether a simple tweak to my WikiEngine would end up automatically feeding Technorati based on my WikiWordAsTag mentality? (more)

A metropolitan area, sometimes referred to as a metropolitan region, metro area or just metro, is a region consisting of a densely populated urban core and its less-populated surrounding territories, sharing: industry, infrastructure, and housing.[1] A metro area usually comprises multiple jurisdictions and municipalities: neighborhoods, townships, cities, exurbs, counties, districts, states, and even nations like the eurodistricts. As social, economic and political institutions have changed, metropolitan areas have become key economic and political regions.[2] Metropolitan areas include one or more urban areas, as well as satellite cities, towns and intervening rural areas that are socio-economically tied to the urban core, typically measured by commuting patterns.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_area (more)
Finally implemented a Cached BackLinks idea - Visible Backlinks. In any non-bloggy Wiki page, the BackLinks show up at the bottom of the page, so you don't have to bother hitting the BackLinks page, and you're reminded of the pages that refer to the current page. Two Way Links are a key benefit of Wiki's auto-linking-via-WikiWord - I think this approach makes that benefit more tangible. Let me know what you think. (more)
