Thought is the Most Productive Form of Work (Not)

From Worthwhile:

We can get caught in thought. If you've ever had an idea or problem lodged in your brain - just circling through the same outcomes, limits, and scenarios, you know EXACTLY what I'm saying. We run mental laps around the same track, making no progress at all.
So I'm here to tell you: Thought is NOT the most productive form of work. PLAY is. PLAY engages all of our senses. It moves muscles other than our cerebrums. PLAY rejuvenates, makes room for risk, and reminds us what it is to feel truly alive.

Another journalist brought down by blogs? Did blog allegations about plagiarism bring about the dismissal of a Swedish journalist? . Stockholm Spectator said that: "a reporter had copied at least four articles from the New York Times without giving the original author or the paper any credit."

Blogging, why do we do it? Reading this new paper by Drezner and Farrell on the weekend, called "The Power and Politics of Blogs", got me thinking about the future and reality of blogging. (Thanks to Steve Rubel for the pointer). Early adoptors of blogging have tended to see blogging as an alternative to the main media, or at least as a corrective to the worst excesses of the mainstream's haughtiness about its privileged position as our society's information priests (we tell you what you need to know and when). That's a very good thing in itself. I enjoy watching journalists squirming about all these bloggers...
