Pods

This has to be quick today. I started listening to On The Media. The first story focused on a style of internet cafe where each person has a separate space, comfortable chair and a variety of gaming and network options. Many choose to simply read a book. This configuration reminded me of Star's acceleration web. I want to revisit the story at http://www.onthemedia.org/ and review some of the reflections on solitude and relationships. I always think of solitude as retreat, as going out into nature, being physically removed. There was focus here about being immersed in plain sight. I think this has application to runners.
