# My own top 10 blog posts

![top_10.jpg](/wp-content/uploads/2005/12/top_101.jpg)Here’s a quick list of what I think were some of the best posts to this often sporadic blog through the year.

- **[Change: Deal with it](/2005/12/change-deal-with-it/)**: this little fellow still cracks me up.

- **[The infinite idea loop](/2005/11/the-infinite-idea-loop/)**: the future is faster. Even *Fortune* covered this posting. A compelling 3-minute watch, if you really want to understand how the future is evolving.

- **[The Masters of Business Imagination Manifesto](/2005/03/the-masters-in-business-imagination-mbi-manifesto/)**: *FastCompany* picked up on my MBI Manifesto found in this post. It got so much attention, it has become the focus of my next book, due out in 2006.

- **[It’s in to be out!”](/2005/01/its-in-to-be-out-jim-carrolls-top-outdoor-trends/)**: Too much fun earlier this year when I met with the editors of *O (Oprah Magazine), Elle, Family Circle, Parenting, InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Working Mother, American Baby, Soap Opera Weekly, Woman’s Day, Glamor, Teen Vogue, Seventeen, Good Housekeeping, Family Circle *and about 40 other national trade magazines, in New York City! Covering off my list of outdoor trends…..on behalf of a major client.

- **[Frogs in Texas reviews](/2005/04/globe-mail-review-of-what-i-learned-from-frogs-in-texas/)**: After all that work in bringing out a new book, it gets some great reviews and momentum throughout 2005.

- **[The Tiniest Warrior of All](/2005/06/the-tiniest-warrior-of-all/)**: My wife and I published, throughout publishing company Oblio Press, a very important, powerful, and emotional book.

- **[10 Signs You’ve Got an Innovation Dysfunction](/2005/10/10-signs-that-youve-got-an-innovation-dysfunction/)**: How can you tell if you’ve got problems? Read the list …. *Fortune* covered this one.

- **[Creativity, trends, and innovation in retail, packaging, and consumer goods](/2005/10/creativity-trends-and-innovation-in-retail-packaging-and-consumer-goods/) …**: I’ve done a huge number of talks in almost every industry and profession in the last decade, talking as a futurist about future trends. I’ve got a huge number of trends floating around in my head and in my materials, and I’m trying to use the blog to capture alot of them after a major keynote. This post is a good example.

- **“[The concept of going to school for knowledge is kind of quaint](/2005/10/the-concept-of-going-to-school-for-knowledge-is-kind-of-quaint/)…”**: A quick article that stirred up a fair bit of controversy. I don’t believe anything I said here to be untrue.

- **10 More Ways to Instill Innovation**: A follow-up to the innovation dysfunction post above.
