In praise of Alice Rawsthorn
Posted by Mark Vanderbeeken
Cognitive Self Awareness is what sets us apart from the spiders, dogs, and (probably) the dolphins (though current research is being done on this here). Being self aware, the Here-link quickly became in bad taste. "Here" is the catchword of the day. Like calling to a dog, "Here, Spot, here." As opposed to Hear, although that's just as possible when talking about the web, v-blogging and electronic social interaction.
And the internet blogging system, though truly too dense to consume it all, augments this self awareness through connecting like-things to like-things. "If you like what I write about you might like what I read too."
Mark Vanderbeeken writes about some pretty neat things. He is a Hub. A Central Station where you go forth from to different new locations, strengthening the connections within the web-iverse. (*as opposed to uni-verse).
Mark has given us a LIST of works to read from the design critic of the International Herald Tribune, Alice Rawsthorn. He has also given us the link to her personal website Here which has links to articles which the New York Times seems to have "disappeared altogether" for some reason.

Alice is a goldmine. Go. Read.
