A choice made…

A choice made…

By Craig Cmehil on February 5, 2012

Bridges never burn Well here I am, once again writing a life changing moment in an post to so many people that I know out there. I’ve done this type of post before but I’m not sure I’ve done it with as many happy thoughts in my head swirling around distracting and exciting me at […]

Think Different

Think Different

By Michael Fauscette on October 6, 2011

Yesterday afternoon, while live Tweeting Oracle CEO Larry Ellison’s live streamed keynote from Oracle OpenWorld I saw a Tweet in my #oow11 stream saying that the AP had just reported that Steve Jobs had died. A quick search on Twitter…

Life and Opportunities

Life and Opportunities

By Craig Cmehil on June 7, 2011

It’s never easy making change in our own lives, even when we’ve been told that we’ve been a change agent for so many others. This is also not the first time I’ve written a blog post about major change in my life. In the past almost 10 years I’ve been in Germany many things have […]

A bit of 1771, an alternative Babbage quote, Roosevelt, Kennedy and Reagan.

Note: This is my personal view. Andrew McAfee has come out quite strongly against  wikileaks and Assange’s principles and motives  in particular.  We disagree. However, like Andrew, I’m a fan of computer and political history and I often use ancient quotes to make an argument. This post will be no different, and I may ramble […]

Thomas Paine, “It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry.” George Washington, “Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.” Julian Assange,  “The more secretive or unjust an organization is, the more leaks induce fear and paranoia in its leadership and planning coterie.” Antonio Gramsci, “To tell […]

The blog of a kind and wise man.

The blog of a kind and wise man.

By Thomas Otter on October 7, 2010

I’m very pleased to see that Les Hayman has a blog, and that he is rattling off posts with vim, vigour and consistency. If you are interested in HR, career and life advice from someone who has been there, done that, then Les is a must read.  Les was on the the extended board at […]

A short, sort of review of Nicholas Carr’s “The Shallows. What Google is Doing to our Brains.”

A short, sort of review of Nicholas Carr’s “The Shallows. What Google is Doing to our Brains.”

By Thomas Otter on September 13, 2010

Many technology writers  deify or reify technology.  There is often an assumption that more technology is by definition a good thing.  Nicholas Carr’s recent book challenges that. This is probably why many tech types don’t seem to like it. Looking through my blog archive, I’ve often disagreed with Carr, but rather than just base my […]

Unlearn or Challenge?

Unlearn or Challenge?

By Sig Rinde on July 30, 2010

What’s the diff? David Heinemeir Hansson of 37signals and Ruby on Rails fame spoke at Stanford the other day – Unlearn your MBA! Good concept of course, provocative title for a talk for business students, and old stuff is old…

Application flexibility and the tree pose

Application flexibility and the tree pose

By Thomas Otter on June 9, 2010

Cross posted on my Gartner blog. As some of my readers know I’m a keen but slow amateur cyclist. It is a sport that doesn’t really lead to flexibility, the opposite in fact. I need to stretch if I’m going to have any sort of suppleness, so I have made a conscious decision to stretch […]

Ada Lovelace day. Two academics.

Ada Lovelace day. Two academics.

By Thomas Otter on March 23, 2010

I’m featuring two academics for this year’s Ada Lovelace day. It is an international day of blogging to celebrate the achievements of women in technology and science. Firstly: Dr Sue Black. I’ve not met Sue, except on twitter,  but I have admired her efforts to support Bletchley Park for some time now. She blogs about […]
