Through WSJ Online which I follow on
Twitter, I was alerted to Kuroda's
Wall Street Journal timely and informative opinion piece on
Asia's Food Crisis (2008-05-05). I realized that this article was rich in research-based information and provided an excellent summary of a pivotal moment in the social history time-line of the way in which "
Wealth Disparities Will Intensify." See
Drummond and Tulk (2006). First I
dugg Kuroda's article.
Then I began a slow world rhizomic process using the semantic web with its microblogs, blogs, social bookmarking, aggregators and folksonomies locating this article at the centre of a dendronic cartography.
Leaving all the windows and tabs open on Firefox I worked with and between Adobe Photoshop, notepad, blogs, etc to produce this series of layered images which I call digitage. They conform to Powerpoint's default size and highest resolution (1440 x 900). I saved them as .jpg to upload to the Flickr account using my new handy Flickr desktop uploader. These images

Globalization: Food, Fertilizer and Fuel",
snurl.com/27el3 3.
On the Tomato Trail 4.
Consuming Questions: East and West snurl.com/27en3 were then combined into a .ppt PowerPoint file entitled "
Food, Fertilizer, Fuel" which conforms to the slidenet.com default size. Once the slidenet.com presentation was uploaded I collected all the urls and transformed them into snurls. (Snurls are shortened urls that can also be used with microblogging services like Twitter.)
This article then on the East and West was a catalyst to my first "snurl cloud" or "snurl roll" on on
Twitter. (A second snurl cloud links to the first: "
Wealth Disparities Will Intensify also on
Twitter (2008-05-06).
In a sense this is a virtual faint echo of Barndt's Tangled Routes (2001). See also Flynn-Burhoe (2006-11-17) on the
layered digitage linking tomatoes, French Fries, fast foods, high-meat-protein-consumption, Milton Friedman's "The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Profits" (1970),
Cannibals with Forks and Barndt's
Tangled Routes: Women, Work and Globalization on the Tomato Trail (2001).
