paper definitely is money.
first thing don mentioned was "best-selling" and then the power-game part: "influential"
did you know that katz@wired suggested he to be the president of the internet in one of his thought-games?
i don't know if he'd get my vote. perhaps not.
the book is good, though. lots of interviews and facts and thoughtful insights. nothing like what i write :) but something i hope my mother would read.
i asked don already if there will be translations, http://an.org/inet98/discussion/0050.html as she is Finnish only. perhaps i should just travel back home .. but then again i know she understands.
oh money. it seems i'm forced to selling soon. perhaps someone prints some of my bits so i'll get food again.
see you tomorrow?
hope you don't being a part of the public flow this time.
