Just as the world needs the foreign bureaus that newspapers are rapidly shutting down, it needs quirky small university presses, Mughal textile historians, and people who are paid to think deep, economically unproductive thoughts … There is an unstable, treacherous future ahead for institutions that have been comfortable for a long time.

The lead car flashed his official Press Pass, told the guard the vehicles following him were going to a photo-shoot at Pebble Beach, and, amazingly, were waved in. Today I attended this counter-concours in a park outside Salinas. Yesterday a dozen of the lemon entries (the Trabant, Pinto, Corvair, etc.)

When pressed for time, all I want to read are the most important posts. I broke them into groups. It was still like drinking from the fire hose. I whittled my essential reading down to three dozen sources. Keeping up with only those proved difficult. How to separate the wheat from the chaff? Social signals.

More than once I pressed the buttons when all I wanted to do was hold on. In fact, the Kindle slips out of the case if you're not careful. The top 2/3 of the Kindle is taken up with buttons: Next Page, Previous Page, and Back. I'm a klutz with technology. This is happening less frequently as I become accustomed to holding the unit.

Just as blogs give us all a free, personal printing press to the internet, Twitter provides an instant, real-time connection to the people you want to be connected to. Twitter founder Jack Dorsey says Twitter is for connecting people through real-time updates that spark conversation and expose trends. I sense that it may be bigger than that.

Once the printing press meant that there were more books than a person could read in a lifetime, scholars had to sharpen disciplines and publishers define genres, as a bulwark against the information overload of the 16th century. To get there, we must find ways to focus amid new intellectual abundance, but this is not a new challenge.

The press thought our meeting nefarious. Workshop participants practice project elevator pitches. Dart Lindsley explains Business Architecture. Design Thinking. Had my design consciousness raised at Overlap ‘09 in Monterey. Business Week tells you “what went on at the clandestine affair.”.

We used to be inthralled with the idea that everyone now had a personal printing press. Curate the topic collaboratively. IDEA: New person joining the team? Curate a topic to gain exposure and build reputation. Curation tools make it easy for any of us to be publishers of glossy online magazines! Imagine the web as millions of pages.

The book will be published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2013. Writing a book: xEducation. Bonnie Stewart, Dave Cormier, and I have signed on to write a book on MOOCs and other such trends in education. Unfortunately, and I recognize the irony, the book will not be open. So we’ve set up a blog as field notes for the book: xEducation.

Blogs gave each of us a personal printing press, but I want to express myself and interact with people outside of blog posts and essays. Blogs are slanted toward me, me, me, me, me; the net is inexorably moving to us, us, us, us, us. Dialog trumps monolog.
