“That commons had become too tragic for me”
– Doc Searls, author, columnist and all round guru, was heard to utter this last night at the reception for speakers for The State of the Net conference in Trieste, as we devoured the last of the exquisite Italian antipasti laid out on one table and moved on to the next table of communal yummies.

LOL a tragedy of the commons indeed
That is why, when I encounter a nice looking buffet, I quickly launch an “enclosure movement” before someone else decides to graze their cattle on my helping of lasagne, or grass, or… well you get the picture 😀
So the World of Ends terminates in Doc Searls’ tum, eh?
So was this research for his next book? The Clue-Chew-Chew Manifesto?
Bipedal locusts, whoda thunkit?
Trieste – I am told it is a very attractive city, and the Sunset will be into the sea in the west….
