			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.google.com/friendconnect/static/images/friendconnect-logo.gif" alt="Google Friend Connect logo" /><br />
It&#8217;s about time for this! <a href="http://www.google.com/friendconnect/home/moreinfo">Google Friend Connect</a> is out (sorta, you can ask to get to try it out as I just have).</p>
<p>I wrote in &#8220;Open (source)ing the doors for contributor-run digital libraries.<a href="http://www.acm.org/pubs/articles/journals/cacm/2001-44-5/p45-jones/p45-jones.pdf">[PDF]</a>&#8221; Communications of the ACM. Volume 44 , Issue 5 (May 2001) and in <a href="http://www.ibiblio.org/pjones/presskit/p45-jones.jp.pdf">a Japanese edition [PDF]</a> in 2003 that <em>&#8220;By adopting not only the open-source tools, but also the open-source philosophy encouraging community interaction and contributor involvement, digital libraries can open new horizons to new communities as well as greatly improve traditional services.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>While GFC doesn&#8217;t necessarily fully fulfill the open source software side of the equation, it does allow for stronger community interaction and contributor involvement including ways to get at trust and rating and other social tools to help as I wrote <em>&#8220;produce real and effective collections and more importantly real and effective communities in the best democratic sense.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>If implemented correctly, GFC should work as a reverse Ning. Ning wants you to build your network on their site-hosting service. A great and flexible platform and good for many people, but suppose you already had a very effective and broad-ranging site like <a href="http://ibiblio.org">ibiblio.org</a>. Then, it would seem, you&#8217;d rather add the social aspects to your site. </p>
<p>This does all that I was asking for for ibiblio.org over 8 years ago! Yes, we&#8217;ve applied for the preview release. I&#8217;ll let you know if we get it &#8212; or when we get it. </p>
<p>And I have some ideas for some features to add&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite the fact that technologies are formed as much socially as by engineering, folks &#8212; who have a better idea!!! &#8212; can&#8217;t wait to build a technically more perfect Facebook and/or Twitter. More often than not they are confusing the socially constructed use with the engineering improvements that might or might not be needed or desired. </p>
<p>One group that gets it is Craig&#8217;s List. They admit that their techologies aren&#8217;t so great. They are old. But they are loved by the  folks who are in the Craig&#8217;s List culture. Challenges come and go but the dedication of CL&#8217;s community is yet to be topped. CL is true to their focus, their community, at the expense, more often than not, of engineering or portability etc. </p>
<p><a href="http://chimprawk.blogspot.com/">Fred</a>&#8217;s post <a href="http://chimprawk.blogspot.com/2008/05/twitter-imagined-identity-and-flux.html">&#8220;Twitter, Imagined Identity and Flux&#8221;</a> goes out to answer Michael Arlington and Dave Winer and others who really think they know how all this should work. Worth a read.</p>
<p>In other Twitter news, I&#8217;ve been convinced by my tweeple to put Twitterific to the side for a bit and try Twhirl. First downside, Twhirl doesn&#8217;t update my IM status which is where all of this seemed to come from in the first place. But it is very nice as an interface and does other cross posting fairly well.</p>
<p>I also ventured for a bit into Alertthingy, but it was so alerting that it was alarming. I need more serious friend boundaries to drink from that firehose! We all need that Dunbar-defined social grooming, but this ape would have been groomed til he was completely bald! Which takes us back to Fred&#8217;s post.</p>

It was a great concert and community gathering of my tweeple, those I twitter with locally.

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/squishy/sets/72157604849685522/">Squishy also has great pictures</a>, but he doesn&#8217;t twitter or if he does he hasn&#8217;t told me.</p>
<p>Before and afters, Fred and Chelsy were wonderful hosts at their house giving an impromptu grilling party to a bunch of hot tired and delighted tweeple.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.lynnboggess.com/images/Figure_7_c.jpg"><img src="http://www.lynnboggess.com/images/Figure_7_s.jpg" alt="Summer-Boggess" /></a><a href="http://www.lynnboggess.com/images/trowels_c.jpg">Lynn Boggess paints with trowels.</a> Standard issue trowels that he machines into service for applying and removing oil paint on canvas in <em>plein air</em> along the mountain rivers and streams of West Virginia. </p>
<p>Saturday, I was at <a href="http://www.tyndallgalleries.com/">Tyndall Galleries</a> enjoying a new show of <a href="http://www.lynnboggess.com">Boggess&#8217; paintings</a>, large oils that more often than not still smelled a bit wet and rich as if you were just in the studio with them. The thick layering of paint means that the shadows on the canvas move as if you were watching the scene through a very clear glass or across a cool mountain creek. The paintings up close are textured pieces of oil paint architecture, but at a short distance they are more real than any photograph and with the shadows alive.</p>
<p>As I left the opening and went to the parking lot, I saw a bunch of folks from the show gathered around a truck. There was Boggess explaining his trowels to other artists. We all got to hold his instruments, then he took out his easel. <a href="http://www.lynnboggess.com/onlocation.htm">You can see him using it here.</a></p>
<p>That easel is a piece of work on its own. It must be strong enough to how a large canvas against the wind and adjustable enough  to work on almost any mountain-side river bank. It must be portable and compact. It must expand and hold the paint and tools &#8212; no brushes. It must be simple to set up and adjust. Boggess has all of that done well in his homemade contraption. </p>
