Just ignore that 2nd entry down from here…

May 9, 2000 by Michael Boyle

Even though I know how exasperated Dave Winer must feel, I think he made the right decision. And, since I feel some “community” spirit in this weblog world, I’m happy that a decision has been made that I feel comfortable with. Even if it doesn’t really concern me in the least.

Rachel Greene’s

article in ARTFORUM, Web Work: A history of internet art is truly excellent. I was on the margins of that world when I worked at CTHEORY, and I was quite nostalgic reading about all of the old gems I remember visiting as soon as the email crossed my screen. Back then phrases like, “Not unlike the Surrealists and Situationists” were my stock in trade. And that old net.art sensibility still informs the work I do today, which is much more mainstream. One thing missing, however, was mention of the Critical Art Ensemble, who helped define a moment they called “the electronic disturbance” in their books, The Electronic Disturbance, Electronic Civil Disobedience, and Flesh Machine.

I feel silly

May 9, 2000 by Michael Boyle

even venturing into this fray, but my thoughts following the latest re: winerlog and editthispage (aka Dave Winer) donnybrook go along two lines. First, just like you can’t be “partly” a virgin, you’re either a blank, common-carrier style host or you’re not. No one, not Conexion, Mr Winer, or anyone else, can have it both ways. Second, Mr Winer seems to think this is new, unexplored territory. It’s not. Places like The Well, Café Utne and Caucus have been dealing with these issues for years. Norms have been developed. And that’s not to mention the norms and standards that surround the ISP industry. I don’t see how hosting through a webapp like Manila is any different than the issues raised in these far more mature communities.

I had forgotten about the Usenet Oracle, now known as the Internet Oracle.
