Day two...

Ah... so I have remembered to make a second post. Nothing much to say... Except I am suffering from a cold or something. Itchy eyes, sore throat, some congestion, and maybe some fever. It is now 3:30pm and I am feeling the worst so far today.

Of note: was sent a note about "third places" which talks about libraries as such. First places are homes, second places are workplaces, and third places are socializing settings (pubs, libraries, churches, etc.) The question is - what are the social anchors of the community today.

There is talk in the article about virtual third places. This might be interesting to try! Try at work? Try at CBH? Hmmm....

Then there is the other concept called: the Public Commons.... which seems somewhat related but which was noted and discussed in regards to knowledge sharing and the personalized manipulation of public domain material and the "creation" of something new.

And then there is/was/will be the question of the meaning of the word: CREATION and its use by so many when the word implies the bringing forth of something from ?nothing? - i.e. a G-d capability.
