I tested the Google glass | LinkedIn - 0 views

  •  
    Interesting commentary from some who have tested Google Glass. Overall, it seems that GG is not as close to being able to be a widespread consumer product as the hype might have us believe.

The Highs and Lows of "Design Thinking" - Point of View - July 2013 - 1 views

  •  
    Interesting editorial on Design Thinking - "let's put our heads together, create, innovate, and forge ahead. In corporate speak, this translates to speculation and forecasts on an organization's future, field, operations, and methods. It means reflecting on the how's and why's inherent to change and growth."

How the Internet is killing innovation | VentureBeat - 0 views

  •  
    Interesting observations on diversity and depth of reading/
  •  
    I think it is particularly true in this era of social media that we tend to hear only from/about people who are like us. Deep discussion of issues cannot thrive in this sort of an environment. There are many talented, insightful folks writing on their own blogs about important topics, but I don't have time to seek them out, read them, and understand what they're saying in order to form an opinion. So? I rely on my social media contacts. Oops.

The Urban Reordering: Can the United States Make it Stick? - 0 views

  •  
    The repopulating of urban areas is certainly a trend that will affect museums.  But do you agree that the government should end the mortgage interest deduction because focus is shifting from suburbs to cities?  Don't people who buy condos in cities benefit from the same deduction as those buying houses in the suburbs?

    Not sure what they're up to at this site, but I thought it was interesting that they choose the word "Television" to convey the idea of everyone being involved and sharing in a community.

Has the Ice Bucket Challenge Spawned Charity Jacking? - 0 views

  •  
    Excellent summary of this year's Ice Bucket challenge and some questions about the future impact of such fundraising tactics. Most interesting: Will the success of the ice bucket challenge create a culture of giving that is not strategic and not directed to where the greatest needs are?

Google's Scientific Approach to Work-Life Balance (and Much More) - 1 views

    Are you a Segmentor or an Integrator? They may be carving out too big a universe of questions to explore, but it's interesting that Google is looking to produce the equivalent of the Framingham Heart Study on work-life issues.
