About this talk

Susan Blackmore studies memes: ideas that replicate themselves from brain to brain like a virus. She makes a bold new argument: Humanity has spawned a new kind of meme, the teme, which spreads itself via technology — and invents ways to keep itself alive.

About this talk

Treo creator Jeff Hawkins urges us to take a new look at the brain — to see it not as a fast processor, but as a memory system that stores and plays back experiences to help us predict, intelligently, what will happen next.

 I just found a very inspiring Post on Conversation Agent about the latest Work of Daniel Pink (Author of A Whole New Mind) on

Pink is dispensing career advice with a comic book - Johnny Bunko.

• Job search can be seen as temporary, frustrating, subject to the highs and lows of energy we all experience and to the vagaries of the marketplace on which we feel we have no control. We see a job search as totally focused on the immediate need.
• Career management is the ongoing discipline of developing relationships (inside and outside your industry, company, and line of work), learning new skills, sharing contacts and information freely, mapping out your options at any point in time, and taking control of your destiny. We see a career as an active pursuit that can open new possibilities for us.

Richard I Anderson wrote an amazing post about the fact that User experience professionals continue to attempt to move their work and impact “upstream” — to play an earlier and more strategic role in their workplaces’ business.

Here is some gems from that Post:

“The same communication skills that help designers create effective visual and interaction designs for products can also play a significant role elsewhere in the product development process especially during early strategic work. …

… Especially early on in the product development process, design artifacts are able to create buy-in for a product vision, provide market context, or illuminate data, processes, goals, and the impact of decisions.”
