Quote of the Day

Quote of the Day "There is no room for adventure and excitement in your comfort zone" or perhaps learning and getting beyond what limits you

Change Happens - Positive Changes that is

Two of my contacts who recently indicated they were "searching for a new position" are now in new positions :)

LinkedIn alerts let me know and I immediately turned around with a big congratulations. In this world today some of the successes are a big deal.

Writing to Communicate

"Writing gives you the illusion of control, and then you realize it's just an illusion, that people are going to bring their own stuff into it."
- David Sedaris

This was one of those quotes of the day that just tickled me a bit. I decided to share for I suspect others  have faced this shift from original document to end result.

Flexible Displays

Check out these new Flexible displays :)

The world of Displays is changing faster than the world can keep up, but there are some very cool nnew materials that make for some interesting paradigm shifts to the the concept.

Why would someone want a flexible display?

Something wrapped around the handle bars of a bicycle?

Ping.FM's gadget just changed by itself. Very disconcerting when software evolves without user input.

Thoughts on Intranets

8 good business reasons for having an intranet (tips for writing an intranet business case)

Some really good thoughts on INTRANETS in this post- only thing missing is tying to Dynamics CRM as the backend :)

The Printing Industry has Changed

I passed a truck today on my way to work. The picture on the back of this truck was of stacked boxes. The graphics were so detailed and of such high quality that I literally thought the back of the truck was open and I considered alerting the driver.

Glad I didn't!

One industry that has had a real shift is the printing industry. High Quality extremely detailed graphical design is now available in quantities and at prices that all businesses can afford. What has not necessarily changed is each and every graphic design business who depended on the older model. Walk carefully and seek out a ton of options next time you have a need.

The Strangeness of the Brain

Oh Memory don't fail me now -

I have this person pictured in my head. I know their personality, how they write and a ton of information within our business context relationships.  We have had more than a few conversations over e-mail over the years. We participated in a WIKI together for a while. I can see his face. I can see his smile, but I can't seem to shake out of my brain any key information to retrieve his e-mail address.

I temporarily can't remember his name :( . It is true I have not talked with him for a few months and my world has changed quite a bit. (Still that is not a great excuse)

What is particularly interesting to me is that despite all that is stated above, I havenever met this person face to face and this is a connection I value. Not the only one, but one that is important to me. 

..... and just like that ... as fast as it slipped my mind ... the name is back and I can forward the information I know Jason will find of value.  

Horoscope "Remember that words, however casually spoken, can either create disillusionment or encourage others to perform great deeds."

Bing on iGoogle

OK here is a mind bender - a Bing gadget for an igoogle home page - there is something to be said for that

Talk about really giving the user choice! Kudos to Google for being user friendly when it comes to search engine choice!

Small Forums vs. Facebook and Linkedin

A small forum has an intimate, socially connected culture of various tones. I am not sure that the same can be said for facebook and twitter.
