[Bonus Link:] Dave Winer on tech markets:
My own two cents, when thinking about declining tech markets, something I’ve seen four or five times — when a boom is tailing off is the best time to invest in truly new ideas. People’s thinking has been going in one direction for a long time, so long that all the big or obvious ideas have been tried, many times, and people are creatively exhausted. It’s a good time to change your assumptions, head off in a different direction. Everyone’s been zigging, so now it’s time to zag.

Duuuuuuuuude. This drawing says what I’ve been feeling for the past several years. Sea…of losers…bwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. When I come across above average intellect these days, I think, “Hey, that seems familiar. I used to be able to think like that, with that speed, with that edge…in a time long, long ago…” My brain has grown dull since…turned into a sloth swimming in quicksand. Still searching for those of similar intellect. Definitely don’t find them in my current job: government. I’ve been advised to be patient. Well, I’m waiting…searching…waiting…
Isn’t that the time no one has any truly new ideas?
I was surrounded by morons in my office….So, I took down the mirrors.
Have I mentioned how much I like your cartoons today?
