Learning with the Fang

I have really enjoyed handing out my new business cards over the last few days:

Big shout out to the team at GroverAllman for making the connection with me and printing the plectrums.  If you like the idea, you can order your own (for yourself or your band) online HERE.  Better still if you think I am either crazy or on to something, write your own post about it and tag it ‘groverallman’.

The point of this post is not just to plug a way cool business here in my home town of Adelaide, South Australia but to explore the reason I feel so good about my quirky cards.  Then it struck me - it is all because of the cluetrain manifesto and my recent encounters with Jimmy Wales, danah boyd and Howard Rheingold.

’something I heard in this podcast of Howard Rheingold’s keynote from Education.au event in Melbourne. - Kids are experimenting with identity away from the gaze of parents and teachers’

The connections are a bit hard to articulate, might try to do that in a future post.

Fang - Mike Seyfang

p.s. they are guitar picks (or plectrums) in case you are wondering
