Really? This is what we do now? Gmail in your glasses?
I'm probably going to come off sounding sanctimonious or worse but what the heck...it's just the Internet and nobody reads blogs anymore... I saw this story about the first features available on Google Glass and yes, you'll be able to... Continue reading

Start with a blank slate...
Image
I heard a general one time start a conference with the admonition to consider all the presentations as if you had a blank slate. I thought that was pretty powerful. It moved people out of their entrneched positions and got... Continue reading

How lucky am I?
Image
We're almost up on St Patrick's day and so I'm getting visually flooded with four-leaf clovers...that jolly, green symbol for luck. So I started thinking about luck and I've concluded that I'm, 'wicked lucky.' (I can say that with a... Continue reading

Pattern Recognition, Neoterics and moving on....

Like a lot of people, I read Anil Dash's "The Web We Lost" and I read Hugh MacLeod's corollary piece. I'm split on how I feel here. The essence of both pieces, if I may be so bold as to... Continue reading

Brent, I hear what you're saying but think there is maybe a different disconnect here. I was thinking about this after I wrote this post, but I became aware of Senge and Argyris from my undergrad degree in Management - I imagine that's where most people have picked them up - just like Drucker, Deming...so I think the people in the C suite who have that management background may have been exposed to these ideas but just like the next release of Captivate being the 5 meter target for instructional designers - I think the 5 meter target for the execs is maybe next quarter's sales numbers or product release - the point being unless someone breaks out of this focus on the short run, we will never have the discussions about becoming learning organizations.

Senge, Learning Organizations and asking a question...

A few days ago I tweeted a question about why Peter Senge never seemed to be mentioned in learning circles along with folks like Bloom, Gagne, and Kirkpatrick. : #crowdbooster told me that I was RT'd 7 times on that... Continue reading

The Most Wrong Argument about Video Games and Art
I've seen some other arguments about why video games are not "art" but this column from Jonathan Jones is just stupid. There have been lots of comments on the Guardian's own site and on Kotaku and I'm sure, in countless... Continue reading

You Do Not Have a 1:1 Relationship with Social Media

Look, social media likes you a lot. Really. I know you have feelings for social media too. The harsh truth though is that social media is not just going to see you exclusively and you shouldn't kid yourself into thinking... Continue reading

I'm re-reading Starship Troopers. I just love this book. This book talked about an army of Iron Men years before Stan and Jack introduced us to Tony Stark. It covers everything from racism to gender equality to how society establishes... Continue reading

Not Convergence but Confluence...what the heck some Consilience too

I'm sensing something in the tabs. There is a shift in the flow of the infostream. Eddies of data are harboring tadpoles of nascent thoughts. I'm also listening to the Writer's Almanac every morning. Is it showing? This isn't feeling... Continue reading
