March 25 2010
Honestly, I’m not certain yet you should care about Google Wave. But that actually doesn’t matter. My friend Gina Trappani of Lifehacker and Smarterware fame has put an entire book about wave on the web, for free. What better way is there... read moreMy speech at The Economist (on innovation)
March 25 2010
I spoke yesterday at the The Economists’ Ideas Economy event at UC Berkeley. Here’s a rough transcript (from memory) of what I said: Today I make a living as a writer of books and I talk about ideas from those books.... read moreMarch 25 2010
“There are two things that have been true throughout history in big hunks you can find this different in ten years, but in 50 year hunks, 100 years hunks, you’ll find two things to be true. One, the world is... read moreNeed a word for an interesting idea
March 24 2010
Was talking today with someone about this: A movie comes out (Movie X) and is very influential. Many other filmmakers copy the style or the elements of the story, making films Y and Z. If you see Y and Z first, and... read moreAda Lovelace could kick your ass
March 23 2010
Few people know that Ada Lovelace was likely the first computer programmer in history. She worked with Charles Babbage, a man who is most famous for making a machine that didn’t quite work. A testament to the role of failure... read moreMarch 19 2010

March 17 2010
At a certain point you hear a name for something so many times it looses any real meaning. It’s just a name. Kleenex, as a word, doesn’t mean anything.? Neither does H?agen-Dazs. But over time words just become labels and... read moreHow UX can get anything they want
March 17 2010
