It’s funny how the web works. I started off reading about how to set up a new project in Kohana v3 PHP Framework. A link there took me to the source code of a site by shadowhand, one of the Kohana v3 core developers. That lead me to the site of w.ings consulting which is the web development business of Woody Gilk (aka shadowhand). From there I went to the BlueTrip CSS Framework page which was pretty cool and which I will for sure try on my new project. BlueTrip was created by Mike Crittenden so I checked out his blog. Turns out that Mike’s blog is powered by Chyrp blogging software, which is written in PHP and which I have never encountered before. Not that I need another blogging software (WordPress), but it’s always fun to find new things.
There is nothing remarkable about all of this. It’s a classic example of how anyone who is a techno geek (or not) goes about searching the web. What is remarkable is the amount of information that I obtained in a matter of 10 minutes of clicking and reading. The world has changed, but how do we process it all? We are still trying to make sense out of too much information. Everyone is working hard to turn Information into Knowledge. The real trick is turning Knowledge into Wisdom. It just seems like we are running at full speed trying to solve the wrong problem. I’ll put that one on my todo list for tomorrow. Wish me luck.
Chyrp’s great, I’m really happy with it. Thanks for checking out the blog!
@Mike I liked the clean minimalist design of your blog. I also thought the BlueTrip site was great! Thanks for dropping by and commenting!
great post // i found my way here after a google blog.search for “powered by chyrp” // i like what you had to say about information, knowledge && wisdom. // after reading you say people are trying to figure out how to turn information into knowledge, i thought “yeah, but really the trick is turning knowledge into wisdom.” // then i read you next sentence. // brilliant (:
@Flash Thanks! I guess all I can say is great minds think alike!
