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!)”

    Now that’s what I need for work. It’d add new meaning to my day to day life. : )

    Ummm. How about not. Good try though. I just can’t see my guys with a strap-on.
