Chuck Frey is running another of his periodic survey of mindmapping tools and features. If you’re a mindmapping fan, let Chuck know what you think.

Mind mapping software: What’s hot, what’s not

It’s time to have a little fun. A popular website is HotorNot.com, where visitors get to rate pictures of men and women on [...]

Free Physics Textbook: Motion Mountain

Courtesy of Kevin Kelly’s Cool Tools blog. Someday, I’d love to get time to go back and learn the physics and math that I once knew.

This is not your father’s physics textbook. It is the self-published 1,500-page (!!), still-unfinished physics textbook written and designed by your polymath genius uncle who dwells [...]

The To-and-Fro over 2.0: It's Rematch Time!

Well, Andy’s been sizing up his opponent for tomorrow’s rematch. I’ll do my best to keep it a clean match. That’s 11am Eastern Standard Time.
Tom Davenport and I debated Enterprise 2.0 last June as part of the 2007 Enterprise 2.0 conference. And we’re going to do it again this Friday at 11 [...]

Andrew McAfee and Tom Davenport webinar on viability of Enterprise 2.0

This should be a fun and illuminating interchange this Friday, the 11th. Both Andy and Tom have been paying attention to the realities of how enterprises do and don’t make effective use of new technologies for a long time.

A dozen papers you should read in the world of Enterprise 2.0

There are a variety of articles and papers that I continue to draw insight from and find myself recommending to others on a regular basis. I decided it would be a useful exercise to assemble them into one set of pointers, add a little bit of commentary, and make it available.
I limited myself to materials [...]

PopTech 2007 in Maine and on the Web

One of these years I am going to make it to PopTech with Buzz. He’s been twisting my arm for as long as I’ve known him to do so. Hasn’t meshed with my schedule yet.

Live from POP!Tech 2007
 It is like Christmas Eve here in Camden, Me. Just came back from an afternoon session [...]

Intelligent Image Resizing

I confess that I skipped right past this when it showed up in David Gurteen’s blog. Fortunately, someone else also pointed it out.

David Gurteen linked to a YouTube video on Content Aware Image Resizing. It’s far more exciting than it sounds. Very cool.

 

More insights from Hans Rosling at TED 2007

Someday I will find a way to attend a TED conference. In the meantime, I hugely appreciate that they are making videos of the conference available to mere mortals. Hans Rosling returns for an encore to his 2006 performance (which I blogged about last year about this time) to offer new insights to be gleaned from statistics about health, [...]

Another excellent and quick tutorial from Lee LeFever.

We made this video because wiki web sites are easy to use, but hard to describe. We hope to turn you on to a better way to plan a camping trip, or create the next Wikipedia.
Length: 3 minutes 52 seconds.
