Happy Birthday Doug! A perfect gentle knight as well as a pioneer of technology and great inventor. Doug Engelbart's 87th birthday - today - is a fine day to watch the video of Doug's talk "The Strategic Pursuit of Collective IQ". And a great day to (re) read Doug's "Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework" 1962, see DougEngelbart.org. My favorite Doug quotes and links, ...

Blog1828 | Posted by Greg Lloyd | October 8, 2011 | 10:35 AM

Ada Lovelace Day celebrates the contributions of women in science and technology.

I joined NRL in 1974 as my first real job - after being drafted as a graduate student at Brown and serving in the US Army. It was a great ...

Hat tip to Professor +Andrew McAfee for linking to Do Happier People Work Harder? my nomination for Required Reading of the Day (#RRD).

Blog1798 | Posted by Greg Lloyd | August 24, 2011 | 1:55 PM
I enjoyed reading Dion Hincliffe's Putting Social Business to Work and G+ discussion led by Luis Suarez on Laurie Buczek's The Big Failure of Enterprise 2.0 Social Business.

I like Laurie's analysis and recommendations, including her top level: "Make social ...

About time, too." and asked "Does anyone doubt that the Cloud + mobile + social + new devices is going to have a huge impact on ...

Like many people in the tech industry, I've been happily exploring and enjoying Google+ for the past week or so (thank you Susan Scrupski for the early invitation).
