thanks to Peter for the latest moniker

March 19th, 2007 · 1 Comment · random thoughts

On Friday in Signposts, my colleague Peter at Adaptive Path announced my new-but-mighty blog to the AP community. It was positioned as “the musings of a scarily synthetic thinker.” I’m either flattered or not. I choose to be flattered. Thanks, Peter! Visit Peter at peterme.com. [Note: earlier version of the post mentioned Dan, who has a nifty [...]

Lord give me an open mind and a crowbar

March 19th, 2007 · No Comments · random thoughts

Hmmm. I’m in a quandary. I received a galley copy of The Cult of the Amateur from a friend who attended the TED conference, and my open mind is in question. The book is a screed of Web 2.0 and the values it promotes (provokes?) including: participatory online culture, social networking, self-published contribution to bodies [...]

pointless but not meaningless

February 25th, 2007 · No Comments · neat things, random thoughts

Math is fun. Math mechanics are yukky. It’s the paradox of my brain that while the concepts and patterns of math rule much of my creative thinking, I seriously can’t add or multiply to save my life.

4 little thoughts that keep things moving

February 25th, 2007 · No Comments · random thoughts

Sometimes (okay…more than sometimes) when all the plates are spinning and deadlines loom, I can get a bit…frazzled. This is not a good thing.
