Helvetica, the movie
“Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives.”
Boundless: Community Wireless in Deptford
Boundless is a community mesh wireless network in Deptford, S.E. London.

I have recently seen proposals for similiar projects on the same model in Hackney.

Here is an O’Reilly article explaining mesh networks and their possibilities for the developing world (including Deptford and Hackney!)

Microformats are community developed human readable conventions for embedding semantic information in HTML. Essentially this is a movement to combine human readable formats with machine readability, thus enabling all sorts of relatable goodness, without losing the flexibility that made Web 1.0 such a success.

Organization: The Critical Journal of Organization, Theory and Society
“This is a time of unprecedented debate and diversity in organization studies, when intellectual reassessments go alongside a plurality of organizational forms and practices in a globalizing world. The central task for students of organization is to construct those analytical narratives and ethical discourses appropriate to the radically changing structural, theoretical and ideological realities we now face. Organization seeks to address this important task.”
