(Where Everybody Knows Your Name)

Because of the Internet and other technological
wonders, the public space has been radically
expanded. Bob Herbert, NY Times, 2/2/08

More to IT than meets the I. Expanded Public
Space of any venue is like spring time after a
cozy winter lifetime of my content cooped in &
can’t go out: much too cold; and now Spring &
daylight savings & no more coddling myself in
darkness & night & am somewhat doomed to go
beyond doors if not barefoot & spaghetti-strapped,
cloaked, daggered & sun-blocked against this
Expanded Public Space:
post-literate techno-logical wonderland & neo-
oral assault against the Book-o-Cracy where any
body can post a point of view re: an elephant in
the room & the audacity of cope, face to face-
book so to speak: Electric Company & virtual
Hyde Park, a Commons where sheep may safely
graze & gaze.
