And your comment made me watch it again and — duh! — realize something I missed. When I walk underwater you might notice two surface layers… I didn’t really think that much about it, but it did sort of puzzle me, but — duh! — it’s a halocline! The top layer you see is, of course, the water::air boundary, the one a bit below it is where the lighter top layer of fresh water hits the more dense layer of saltwater! I guess on Corvo freshwater streams out to the ocean and salwater flows inland and in this case the vertical stratification is quite pronounced. Also the saltwater is warmer, so I was kind of motivated to stay under the halocline!

Seriously, ty for the quite eloquent response on my wall. I am grateful that they just didn’t ban me outright but yeah “chauvinism”

Corporations have financial incentive, and employee paychecks! to keep things going. And yes art collectives can do great work without too much financial reward, but it seems that a “weak tie” project like this maybe does best with the lowest barrier to entry possible.

Marma pointed out that while DJ could have a longer than human life, it could also have a far shorter life. Lots of people say The Net’d be dead in a week without a zillion peeps constantly feeding and grooming it… so some effort might be necessary… but also a really lite structure should help.

That lite structure might not scale well, just tossing the password about will mean that you’re compromised, hacked, stolen, or locked out sooner or later… but it probably does work well in the short run / smaller stage. Also, just as “Disney” isn’t any one film or plush toy, but a global force / entity… if a given DJ account was “stolen”… another could be created… the DJ-full-ness resides not in a specific “physical” place… but in conceptual space…

Message me if you’d like to be DJ’s typist for an hour… or participate in any other way.

It’s funny… in a way the idea of photosynth
http://photosynth.net/

is to take “a ton of flickr pix” from diverse sources and integrate them into complex, integrated models and data sharing structures…

And DJ too is “a ton of flickr pix” but integrated by the minds of typists at various global offices into the Global Brain that is, or will become, DJ.

Hmm… maybe DJ can dump a bunch of pix on photosynth and create DJ Space!
