Blogrolled!

Everything and the kitchen link has been blogrolled for the first time, by Climateer Economics.

The Kitchen Linker has been busy, but will get back to regular posting shortly.

Blogrollsix: Techcruch

Required reading, circa 2006-7.

Last blogroll addition was very different, the Tax Policy Foundation Tax Policy Blog.

Blogroll Five: Tax Foundation Policy Blog

Adding the Tax Foundation Policy Blog to the blogroll.

TFPB has been writing about Pigouvian taxes -- negatively, but intelligently, at least relative to the NoPigouClub fools.

Kitchen Linker will respond to some of these, but in the interest of "linking across the aisle" and access to data ...

The last blogroll addition was Tim Bray's ongoing.

Jon's radio moves to Microsoft

The very first Kitchen Link blogroll additon has joined Microsoft, to evangelize for all that is good, as Jon Udell has always done:

Over the years I've evangelized a bunch of things to the alpha-geek crowd: Internet groupware, blogging, syndication, tagging, web architecture, lightweight integration, microformats, structured search, screencasting, dynamic languages, geographic mapping, random-access audio, and more. There's a purpose behind all this, and Doug Engelbart saw it very clearly a long time ago. The augmentation of human capability in these sorts of ways isn't just some kind of geek chic. It's nothing less than a survival issue for our species. We face some really serious challenges. The only way we're going to be able to tackle them is to figure out how to work together in shared information spaces. I've chosen to align myself with Microsoft because I think it has the scale, the resources, and the business incentive to help me empower a lot of people to learn how to do that.

Congratulations!

Fourth blogroll addition: ongoing

Yes, ongoing additions to the Kitchen Link blogroll, and this one by Tim Bray is called ongoing. Tim Bray writes eloquently about IT and Canada (no kidding) and has a wonderful sense of design. Apparently he is one of the inventors of XML. That sounds painful, but he can visit the Kitchen any time so long as he keeps his sharp angle brackets at home.

The last Kitchen Link was inspired by Tim Bray.

The last blogroll addition was Tom Evslin's Fractals of Change.

Third blogroll addition: Fractalize Everything!

Actually, Tom "nothing great has ever been accomplished without irrational exuberance" Evslin's blog is called Fractals of Change, but the title of this post is a probably stretched reference to his recent post Distribute ALL Networks. Decentralization, and not just of computer networks, is one of Tom's themes that Kitchen Linker finds compelling, and required reading. Here's an excerpt:

However, the same technology which allows us to run a decentralized communication network like the Internet and which can allow us to move to a mesh architecture for Internet access, also can help with decentralizing our energy supply. To be continued shortly in another post.

Previously blogged about a decentralized Internet as America’s Antiterrorism Network (here and here).

The Kitchen's second blogroll addition was Greg Mankiw, who has been Linked more times than KL can count by now.

Second blogroll addition: Greg Mankiw

I first got interested in Greg Mankiw's blog due to his Pigou Club (carbon tax supporters). I'm subscribing for Pigou updates and an ongoing stream of interesting posts. Apparently Greg was an economic advisor to George W. Bush. That sounds like a hopeless position, as GWB doesn't seem to take advice from anyone but the tooth fairy.

My first blogroll addition was Jon's Radio.

First blogroll addition: Jon's Radio

Added a blogroll include to the (for now) right. First addition is Jon Udell, who is a year or so ahead on all things computing and that comes with an astute sense of how computing interacts with individual autonomy and freedom.

About every fourth post on Jon's Radio is a must-read. Check out his ongoing discussion of data translucency and selective disclosure. This will impact you and society, whether you're ever aware of it or not.
