TheADade-Collier Training and Transition Airport was originally planned as the Everglades Jetport, and construction started in 1968 on what was to be the world’s largest airport with six runways to support supersonic transport. Being surrounded by the Big Cypress National Preserve, environmental concerns halted construction, and when commercial supersonic transport didn’t arrive, the project was left as-is, now a lightly-used airport.A(© Google/USGS/DigitalGlobe)

There is a myth, more of a meme actually, about the ‘inevitability’ of commoditization. It is a view of the world that sees things linearly, in terms of singularities, and the so-called "one right path."

Minecraft

Minecraft. At this point I am just going to assume everyone has heard something about this gaming sensation. One of the more recent bits of news is that the game is pulling in around $350,000 per day for its sole-developer. AIf there ever was an example of a game breaking all the rules and succeeding, this one is it. It's written in Java. It's not out on consoles or smartphone devices with app stores. It doesn't have amazing graphics. And, most importantly for this blog post, it's not even finished yet.
