One reason so many big ideas come from small organizations is that there is far less fear of change at the top. One mistake board members and shareholders make is that they reward the scared but hyper-confident CEO, instead of calling him on the carpet as he rages at change.
"Comfort the frightened, coach the clueless, and teach the uninformed." -- Seth Godin

Call me a big sap, but I loved this ad from last night's Big Game.

Back in the 1960s, designers of the lunar lander were having terrible trouble getting the thing to pencil out within the constraints they had. The astronauts needed a clear field of view, but a sitting astronaut requires a large swath of glass in order to gain peripheral vision.
So they took out the seats. Not only did that solve the sight problem, it also solved the weight problem and the problem of mobility within the lander.
The latest from The Macalope.
I've enjoyed watching the skirmish over the iPad among the edu-techno-rati over the last week and it seems that we love to choose up sides and have these absolute arguments over whether the iPad (or Twitter, or whatever...) are Good or Bad.
It's Good because it does X. It's bad because it doesn't do Y. I submit that it is not the panacea. If an iPad fits into your work or personal life, great! Get one! If not, don't. But don't persist that it's categorically Good or Bad when what you really mean is that it's Good or Bad for you.

This is, by far, the "hottest" I've seen anything get in Fever.

This is a place for everything that doesn't fit somewhere else in my digital life. It started out in 2007 on Tumblr, but I recently ported it over to Posterous.
I use it to post stuff that's too short to blog and too long to Tweet, as well as found items that I want to share somewhere beyond Delicious, and anything else that suits me.
Thanks for stopping by!
