Too Much Junk in the Proverbial Trunk?

25Nov07

If you are like me, you have too much stuff going on in your head at one point in time, and you owe your affliction to the mass of crud we’ve come to know and love, the intarweb.
I’ve ranted in the past about biz plays to decrease the amount of clutter and use sense-making technologies […]

Support Design Education.

25Nov07

Design Continuum created a set of videos about design/design education and why they believe it is necessary.  Check them out, here.
There’s also a BusinessWeek article about it, here.
There is a tremendous demand for design thinkers today. In industry and in consulting, those who can marry creative right-brain thinking and analytical left-brain thinking are at a […]

Semantic webbing and Nova Spivack’s vision for Web 3.0 and beyond.

24Nov07

I didn’t mean for the title of the post to attract you here (If I hear Web N point “oh” anymore I think I’ll choke someone). But if there is anyone at all who I think has a strong sense of what is coming down the pike, it’s the group over at Twine.
I’ve been […]

Kindle me this, Batman.

Cool biz model (pay once for the device with EVDO access), but I don’t like the electric paper display still.
Maybe if the paper had a nice texture and malleability to it, it’d be better. And more people would use it. Haptics, Bezos, haptics!

Beowulf in 3D

19Nov07

I saw Beowulf last night in 3D with John. It’s just one of a new spate of 3D digital movies that are coming out within the next year. Spielberg is coming out with a 3D movie as well, according to Wired.
I think I’ve pretty much decided that in order for me to pay the […]

Surveys for the Developing world

19Nov07

In Keeley’s Design Planning class, we’re trying to nail the plan for a platform solution that aggregates data, uses some sort of human or computer powered inference engine, and visualizes the data in a meaningful way that is actionable by urban planners, city officials, or business leaders.
The work is part of a project titled 19-20-21 […]

Elegantly simple sneakernet

19Nov07

This idea would work really well with miniaturized consumer electronics that have increasing storage but bandwidth still seems to be lacking.
In the developing world, this means that really anymore, there is only a one time cost hit for the massive storage (and maintenance). Then, each file that is downloaded on a user’s machine is […]

Jump Up and Save me.

19Nov07

I think if I started playing Will Wright’s Spore, I’d be in need of this South Korean Save-You-From-Your-Interweb-Addiction business.
If only there was more TIME in the day, or I took less classes, as Eric hinted at this week in the New Idiom.
Crazy.

Pay-What-You-Want evolved

18Nov07

This semester, I’m fortunate to be working on the business model for the electronic learning record with an esteemed colleague at the Institute of Design.
The Electronic Learning Record, for the uninitiated, is a project sponsored by the John D and Catherine T MacArthur Foundation. We’re trying to develop means by which students (and “non-students”) […]

Dearest Future Manager:

16Nov07

Please do not allow yourselves to be brainwashed by this mass media drivel. (Not just the article, but the episode)
Look, I realize there’s a tremendous likelihood there will be a generation gap between us.
You probably watch um.. what’s it called, again? Oh right, “television”.
Maybe you don’t know there’s anything better since […]



yummy!
