RANDOM THOUGHT OF THE WEEK

The purpose of the IP industry is not creating IP products. The purpose of the industry is in creating systems, services and marketplaces that empower people to build intellectual product and enable conversations on that product. The outcome of these new services is the new product and it now belongs to the people. It's called culture.

More slightly obscure architecture

Spotted by Chuck Olsen of Blogumentary in Woods Hole, Mass.

"This geodesic dome was built by Buckminster Fuller when he was still at MIT in 1953 and is the oldest standing geodesic structure still standing. It's in Woods Hole, Mass. in Cape Cod. Sweet eh?"

Howdy Erik, hope you're having fun on your trip. My offer still stands if you're swinging through ohio or Michigan. We're right on the east west corridor, only 15 minutes north the ohio turnpike in Michigan and we've got plenty of space both indoors and out if you prefer to camp.

Howdy Bre. That's pretty cool.

Studied with him? A professor, or a fellow student?
