….Corante grew and grew:

- Connected by Sarah Lai Stirland: “how our networked world functions - how people, tools and technologies interrelate and the social, technological, economic and political implications of connectivity.”

- Conferences, currently featuring reporting by Zack Lynch on “NBIC (nano, bio, info, cogno) Convergence 2003: Improving Human Performance.”

I’m still catching up, and catching my breath, but in the meantime I want to point you to some intriguing ideas being discussed elsewhere on Corante:

- In Amateur Hour Jonathan talks about Live Public Broadcasting Through WiFi Networks.

- In Bottom Line, Arnold discusses potential innovations in email, namely Bayesian-based (or not!) spam filters, and new models for the music business. Scroll down and you can see a number of posts on both of these topics.

- In Copyfight, Donna’s excited about the new weblogs at Harvard experiment with Dave Winer (currently a fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Center). Tonight Dave will be blogging live in a classroom at Harvard Law School, and Donna will be blogging Dave’s live blogging (I’m pretty sure I’ve got this right!). Potential topics, says Dave: “How should we do weblogs at Harvard? Will the Red Sox ever win the World Series? How to use the technology in law, medicine, education, government, business.”  LATER NOTE:  Donna confirmed more details about this, here.

- In Moore’s Lore, Dana is posting simultaneous threads: one about a possible Space Elevatorand one about Tiny OS (tiny, always-on network systems).

- Hylton says he’s going to stop updating Premium Blend, but as of yesterday, he was still there, and of course, he’s always here.

- And even though Chris Locke never seems to be here anymore, I’m not going to quit going to watching that space, because you Just Never Know with Chris!
