Freedom of Information
I’ve blogged a few comments recently about non-freedom of information in the communication (verb) sense of information … in the public domain in connection with government, economy, science, business, etc. Not all information should be publicly communicated just because it can be. A moral issue affecting the quality of decision-making that affects us all. Here [...]

The Wrong Stuff
From the Slate, a piece by Kathryn Shulz interviewing ex-astronaut James Bagian on relative risks and relative attention to risks in bleeding edge exploration and business-as-usual. [Post Note : I have since read the complete article and it is really very good, on the human psychology side of "error" and risk, and between error and [...]

Trust Matters
One of my management adages is “Agreement in public, disagreement in private”. I was reminded of it by this quote collection from Kevin Kelly. (Here’s the permalink to the Scott Delinger quote.) It’s one of these things that get’s tangled up in open communications, freedom of speech mantras that so many people seem to think [...]

Older & Wiser
It’s official, you get wiser as you get older, and here too. That is if you value multiple perspectives, possibility of change, flexible predictions, knowledge limitations, conflict resolution and compromise, then better ask a grey-beard.

Plaque Honours Pirsig
Here’s one for those Pirsig Pilgrims. I heard today from Montana State University that a commemorative plaque has been installed right outside the President’s office in Montana Hall, where Pirsig taught from ’59 to ’61. Some ceremony is anticipated later in the year.

What a Disaster
At so many levels ? For the industry and for BP, not to mention the dead and injured as well as the obvious environmental effects. Deepwater Horizon was ABS classified. What I can’t figure is why, if the leak is so well defined at the sea bed, and sufficiently concentrated to be corralled at the surface [...]

Information is a Form of Garbage
Interesting blog from writer Scott Berkun, only just discovered and browsed around this evening following a link from Matt (WordPress). No rocket science or genius insights just the common sense to say it (and do it, and ask questions …) (Information is a form of garbage), and yet oddly addicted to cramming more of it [...]

Running the Earth ?
Interesting James Lovelock interview (with the insufferable John Humphrys). JORD = The Earth

Cluetrain Plus 10
Discussion with Doc Searles and Dave Weinberger ten years on. (Note that third collaborator, Chris Locke, is over at Rageboy & Mystic Bourgeoisie). My favourite was always: No.29 – Elvis said it best : “We can’t go on together, with suspicious minds.” And this has been instrumental in my citing the W3C architecture having “Trust” and [...]

You’d think
… after (almost) ten years of blogging, I’d know when not to blog. Ten year celebration here at Fiatech I managed to get out onto 6th street and spend three hours between “Friends” and “Chuggin Monkey” … no idea which bands I actually saw but the musicians flitted between the two, and … I don’t [...]
