Vancouver Sun article: “Vancouver bar patrons will soon have to produce identification and have their photograph taken every time they enter clubs or bars connected to an electronic network designed to red-flag troublemakers. Within the next six months, about 35 bars and clubs in Vancouver are expected to be hooked into the Barwatch system.” Geesh! Is there no privacy left?
Unreal … another digital camera advancement
A company has come out with 4.8 gigabyte compact flash cards — which you can use in a digital camera. My math tells me that if I used this in my Canon G2, doing hi-resolution photos, I could keep about 2,000 to 2,400 pictures on one card!
Ten years of change
Ten years ago today, I was approached by a major publisher, asking if I could write a book about the Internet and the online world. By all means — I’d already been online for 12 years by that point in 1993. So began the rocket-ride of the 90’s, a decade in which I authored/co-authored 34 books, eventually selling 750,000+ copies in 4 countries.
Things move on.
Today, I’ve concluded in my mind the outline for my newest work, which I will title, “What I Learned From Frogs in Texas.” The book will capture my thoughts on issues of change, motivation, innovation, consumer and lifestyle trends, and business strategy issues — all of the things that I am talking about in many events today. The book will take a look at how a world of constant change is leading to opportunity for those who embrace it, and challenge to those who do not.
Look up!
Went to get the morning paper just now …. and it’s a crisp, cool October morning. The stars are awesome — and so are the satellites. That’s why you need to check out Heavens-Above.com — a web site that lets you know when various satellites, the International Space Station or the Hubble Telescope are floating overhead. You can see them with the naked eye. It’s easy enough to use — just specify where you are, and it will let you know what’s going overhead and when — and where to look.
“The curse of the information age …..
…. is information.” Great line from a novel I was reading last night.
I’ll keynote the American Federation of Teachers conference
Just in … I’ll keynote their annual I/T conference this December, examining a number of leading edge trends … in Washington, DC
