Last night I tracked down one of the first mind-blowing articles I read on the internet - when we were building the now defunct sleeping-giant from our living room in Kilmichael and dreaming nomadic dreams of living on boats with solar-powered and wi-fi driven comm - spreading the word and living the life.

And the article is the clasic Umberte Eco on the religion of PCs. For some time I couldn't find a translated version but it's back in vogue. Before we enshrine it, I'd like to invite the author to revise to reflect on the third force - Linux.

The sleeping-giant domain lapsed but lots of the good stuff is still maintained by Nic Paget Clark, at InMotion Magazine, Essays from Ireland - a multicultural online US publication about democracy. Go Nic, go. Oh, and let's Skype soon.
