Hettinga Rants in WiReD...

[Robert Hettinga]

Now if they'll send me the check... :-)

About two months ago, I wrote an 'Idees Fortes' piece for Wired. It's about
digital bearer bonds. If I remember the title, it's something like "The
Internet as Buttonwood Tree". You guys have heard most of it from me
before. Thus, as usual, it is, again, TiReD...

People tell me it's in the latest issue, which is out now, but I haven't
gone looking for it on the newstand yet. Maybe they'll send me a clipping.
With the check. Did I tell you they haven't sent the check. That's a
recurring problem with me lately... Maybe I should update my
non-repudiation rant...

You shoulda seen the first version. Or, maybe you did... I can't remember.
The editor said something about it being too out there, or something like
that.  For WiReD?... ;-)

It's late. I'm going to sleep.


Cheers,
Bob Hettinga
