This document discusses several topics related to information networks including: - How networks enable the realization that each node functions as a component and exists in similarity to other nodes. - The network pattern is common to all life as noted by Fritjof Capra. - Creating emergent software comes with design challenges presented by creating networks. - Family provides the means for an individual to be creative, like paint and canvas for an artist.

2. “ The 'Net is a waste of
time, and that's exactly
what's right about it. ”
—William Gibson

3. Bald people can always find a comb.
· The pace of change in Silicon Valley is breakneck; in
Los Angeles not so much.
· When the very definition of COPY becomes unworkable,
what happens to Copyright?
· What does that have to do with negotiating the fair and
equitable licensing rates for music?
· Each of the diagrams on Lima's site is a snapshot of a
network at the point of data capture ignoring the 'life' that
emerges between nodes.

4. The rainbow would be even more beautiful if the
show was not for free.

5. All that we know of God is that which we see in
ourselves.
· What enables this process is the information-network,
the habitat for information.
· In doing so it is possible to come to a realisation of the
similarity of each node.
· Nodes only exist and function as components of
networks.
· As Fritjof Capra notes, "the network is a pattern that is
common to all life.

6. “ The Web as I
envisaged it, we have
not seen it yet. The
future is still so much
bigger than the past. ”
—Tim Berners-Lee

7. Only stretch your foot to the length of your blanket.
· Sounds like a great deal to me: package it nicely and it
will sell regardless of free alternatives.
· Information gurus want us to believe that the only thing
that matters is information.
· Offer special deals and real value to your followers but
don't pitch.
· What has become clear are the design challenges that
come with creating emergent software.

8. In conclusion
· Reinvent best-of-breed e-business
· Create next-generation niches
· Architect AJAX-enabled solutions
· and remember: Family provide the canvas and paints;
the individual is the artist.
