[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?
