Sitting in my garden watching a squirrel flow over and under fences with no acknowledgement of a barrier, other than the navigational one, I’m thinking of that critter’s open source attitude. He seems to be of the mind that all’s available to him and it’s available for his use and sustenance. Looking at Simon Schama’s Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution, I’m thinking about how the salons of Paris in the late 1700s compare to the birth of the internet and even to the Innovation Cell of which I’m a part.
