Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi will be stepping down this thusday to pursue his hobby in chemistry and put the finishing touches on his new hair tonic, garunteed to grow a helmet of hair on even the baldest of pinheads.
Looking at his picture, is there any doubt this man has the secret to […]

Call me selfish, but I’ve never been a big fan of charity. I don’t mean things like giving time or money to help find a cure for cancer or to help the EFF to keep fighting for freedom. I’m happy to give a little to the EFF. I don’t like charity that’s […]

“The problem is not ignorance, it is preconveived ideas”
This is so worth watching on so many levels. TED had some good stuff, some not so good stuff, and some stuff that seemed good on the surface but in retrospect wasn’t that good.

The first is thier Next Level Blog 2006, a blog ostensibly about innovation. And the second is HealthNex. […]

Its hard to really know for sure if this is true viable, it is a fascinating new approach to air travel from a purely technological perspective. While this may not the perfect solution, we need a lot more thinking like this in aviation, healthcare, government, everywhere.

In my effort to ripoff myself, I thought I’d start by outlining what i mean by innovation and other related terms.
My working definition of innovation refers to a capitalization on new business opportunities through new products, services, processes or experiences (collectively referred to simply as product hereafter). New ideas that cannot be tied to […]

Niblettes is 1 year old now. Isn’t that like middle-aged in the blogosphere?
(did I really say ‘blogoshphere?)
