By no means an obscure selection, this [last] week’s Tuesday [Friday] Focus is Salon co-founder and author Scott Rosenberg’s Wordyard. I admire Rosenberg’s consistent, even, reasonable tone even when grappling with issues at that curious– sometimes fantastic– intersection of technology, politics and journalism (can the two be at all disentangled?), and literate and artistic culture. Dreaming in Code is a great read, one of the few books I’ve read that get at the heart of the interesting and important world behind software development and programming… and it does so in a way that techie and non-techie alike can enjoy. Needless to say, I’m really looking forward to Rosenberg’s forthcoming book on blogs and blogging.
