<p>More from Ursula Franklin:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The early phase of technology often occurs in a take-it-or-leave-it atmosphere. Users are involved and have a feeling of control that gives them the impression that they are entirely free to accept or reject a particular technology and its products.

@kfitz Ha! I have been trying to get kfitz.info to syndicate here, posting whenever I publish, and it has been an interesting challenge.

@kfitz thank you! I've heard good things about Real World. And I actually have a copy of Chachra's book too. I do actually get around to reading these books eventually : )
@kfitz Sounds like a journey :)

So I've gone the Mastofeed.org route. Would have been nice to roll my own, but I'm glad this tool is out there!
