better late than never :-)

out of curiosity do you see/would you see this as related to de 
certeau's stuff on strategy versus tactic? and his stuff on the city 
and our tactical use of the space of the city versus 'plannings' 
strategic intentions? i don't mean literally but that what de certeau 
described is what you're describing in terms of the flows we create 
electronically and empirically? (if that's the right word?)

i guess if you do see a connection i'm wondering where this comes 
from or is going since the digital would not be a 'break' but a 
continuation of something.

cheers
