Conceptual Contraptions, Borg Curiosity

* “The Information Age we all prepared for is ending. Rising in its place is what I call the Conceptual Age, an era in which mastery of abilities that we’ve often overlooked and undervalued marks the fault line between who gets ahead and who falls behind.” Revenge of the Right Brain by Daniel H. Pink

* I think we should make these fancy contraptions available to our folks in the field. What do you think? Pretty snazzy looking if you ask me.

* Too funny, and yet spot-on, The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs speaks on the Microsoft-Yahoo buyout: “The Borg-Yahoo merger won’t work. Here’s why. It’s like taking the two guys who finished second and third in a 100-yard dash and tying their legs together and asking for a rematch, believing that now they’ll run faster.”

* “There is no panacea for success or any single formula for professional growth, but an unbridled curiosity and a huger for knowledge and the enthusiasm for sharing that knowledge with others around you is at least part of a formula.” says Garr Reynolds, Presentation Zen on “Books are dead (long live books!)”

* “Success in any organization is defined by the engagement of the slowest masses. Not the talents of the sharpest few.” and “Leaders are not valued by how smart they are but by how well they can translate complexity/challenges to the organization.” [via Functioning Form, Drawing the Big Picture]

* There haven’t been any game links for a while, and I know you’ve been missing it. So start up Flight of the Hamsters and you’ll loose a whole afternoon. Sarah’s high score = 429.
