I could not let the one millisecond anniversary of my not posting here — or the one year mark of my posting last, as you like it — pass without some remark. Call me sentimental, I don’t care.
Since my last writing I have started, stopped and abandoned one post too many. Among my tomes of “unpublished rhyme” I have a fair bit that reflect on time and such things. For example…
An interesting panel of pundits from across the globe chinwag on digital media. This takes an hour to watch regardless of what time zone you’re in.
Interesting stuff from Universal McCann and their recently released report: Social Media Research Wave 3 [PDF]:
When I started reading The Secret Underground A Guide to Social Media for Organizations by Colin McKay it reminded me of two things:
First thing: An earlier reading of Gifford Pinchot’s book Intrapreneuring, a topic worth revisiting I think;
Second thing: Recent conversations with all sorts of people who lament the problems they have implementing things 2.0 in their organizations’ thinking and practice.

On researching cognitive bias I came across Enemies of Reason by Professor Richard Dawkins. The program originally aired on Channel 4. This discovery coincided with my browsing around on YouTube this time researching, um, YouTube. As a result I now know how to create a playlist and have the series of five YouTube clips roll in one continuous play. Another coincidence perhaps, but this could be what I was looking for for another project of mine. My God, that’s it! Eureka!
Back in December I saw this teaser posted by Miikka Leinonen on SlideShare, and more recently updated on Insightory.com.
It has been a good many years since I first got my hands on a copy of Intrapreneuring: Why you don’t have to leave the corporation to become an entrepreneur by Gifford Pinchot. Few books have had such a lasting impression on me. I have kept a copy close to hand in every office I’ve worked in since 1986.
If I had a dollar for every time I quoted from the book: “It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission,” or warned a friend, “You don’t want to trigger the ‘corporate immune system,’ Bud,” I would be quite a few dollars better off than I am this morning. Of course, it would hardly be as I had billed it then, free advice!
