Wicked Cello duet – I’m a fan…

The article, and now the TED video: When Ideas have Sex

Enjoy Matt Ridley, author of The Rational Optimist.  Emjoy… and no, regardless of the title, its not that kind of video…

Why did Apple create the iPad when they had this already

I don’t know why Apple spent all the time and money on the iPad when they already had a keyboard-less laptop…

hehe…

“Ideas having sex” – The never-ending cycle of innovative progression

a recent article in Reason Magazine here, describes the fact that the law of diminishing returns simply does not apply to society as a whole.  The human mind is capable of innovations and collaborative idea generation that seem to create an augmentation of returns, leading to our current societal success.  We have advanced more and more rapidly while many continue to say “its unsustainable and we can’t continue to grow this way. Eventually it will slow down”.  The interesting part is that every time they say that, when eventually arrives, we are moving faster. Then the next econ pundit or whomever states the same “eventually it will slow down.” I’m not so sure it will!

The wholistic interconnected environment of the world allows innovation to spring up in one place, then when it appears to slow, it springs up in another.  Then ideas combine (or “have sex” as the author states) and the results are greater than the sum of the individual ideas involved!

This is a great article regarding open-market natural innovation.  Again, check it out here.

Ok, now I want an iPad! with Velcro!

Wow, this little vid helps you open up your mind to the possibilities of the iPad. Now, its official, I want one. I’m typically an Android man and would love to see an android tablet but I’m definitely wondering when that will actually happen (sick of speculation). The Notion Ink Adam is probably my favorite on paper but we’ll see when it comes out!

“Sparks flew. Emotions ran high. She actually talked to me, man!” & a great vid

A great vid… moving picture stuff that has become so big. I’m amazed by this stuff and this piece is another phenomenal example…
Basically, it showcases the inner emotions that don’t always find outward play, in this case, the moment of contact between two strangers… it reminds me of this quote:

“Sparks flew. Emotions ran high. She actually talked to me, man!” – LLoyd Christmas, Dumb and Dumber

Respect for a free-runners skill

Since my little bro has been into free running lately, I figured this vid is applicable. Pretty simple, it shows Damien Walters training in the gymnastics gym and such. I need to work on safely landing my backflip I guess! jeez… talk about some level of physical condition and skill!
