"Postmodernism is a change-or-be-changed world. The word is out: Reinvent yourself for the 21st century or die! Some would rather die than change." Leonard Sweet, cultural historian.

On the road

I’m in Salt Lake City for a presentation and then on to Seattle for a conference. I took the scenic route in getting here, flying from Nashville to Los Angeles to Salt Lake City. Whew.

It gave me time, however, to read Glenn Reynolds’ new book, An Army of Davids. This is a must-read for people who follow the empowerment of everyday people through technology. It’s an easy read and filled with thoughtful questions (and a few predictions) about tomorrow. It’s the best new media book I’ve read so far.

The title paints the picture of big media (Goliath) now facing an army of Davids, which brought to mind Gordon Borrell’s analogy of the deer having guns. What do you do when you’re facing an army of Davids? Get into the slingshot business.

I won’t be blogging much this week, but I’ll be back with stories.
