Creative Mornings – Simon Sinek

Creative Mornings are breakfast lectures which occur once a month at an ever growing number of locations dotted around the globe. I love the idea of then and I also love the fact that they release all the video footage from the lectures for free on the internet.

Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon Sinek teaches leaders and organizations how to inspire people. With a bold goal to help build a world in which the vast majority of people go home everyday feeling fulfilled by their work, Sinek is leading a movement to inspire people to do the things that inspire them.

Clay Shirky: How the Internet will (one day) transform government

The open-source world has learned to deal with a flood of new, oftentimes divergent, ideas using hosting services like GitHub — so why can’t governments? In this rousing talk Clay Shirky shows how democracies can take a lesson from the Internet, to be not just transparent but also to draw on the knowledge of all their citizens.

What better way to start… What is the Internet, really?

Andrew Blum talks at TED about the physical aspects of the internet which most of us don’t normally think about.

He concludes with a great quote from Neal Stephenson

Wired people should know something about wires.

A long over due update

I’m back. It’s been far too long since I last posted anything. I’m setting myself the task of posting at least 5 posts a week. I’ve just made a couple of quick changes to the layout making the focus of this blog the content.

I’m about to start a new job in the coming weeks so now will be a perfect time to start writing again. I’ll hopefully cover a bunch of new things as I learn and develop new skills with an aim at sharing and educating other from my experiences.

Over and out for now…

Andy Hertzfeld talks about his role in Google+

some people are saying that I’m responsible for the broad visual refresh now rolling out across Google, which couldn’t be further from the truth – in fact, I’m not even sure I like it.

Interesting post on Google+ about Hertzfeld involvement with the design of Plus and his non-involvement in the rest of the design refresh being pushed around Google’s products and applications.

You could forget this anyway, i’m more interesting in the Google+ mention feature with the +Someone. Pretty cool!
