Way cool last minute Christmas gifts (thanks, Co.Design!)
I have loved Fast Company for at least 20 years. It’s sort of a “new economy” business magazine, but it’s actually more about ideas and people than it is about business, industry, or technology. I cited an old Fast Company … Continue reading

In a “happening,” students engaged in random, unorganized activities like flicking the classroom … Continue reading
Success through failure
The “Review” section of yesterday’s Wall Street Journal contained an interesting short article by Ken Bain, titled “Flummoxed by Failure – or Focused,” which was primarily about the un-fixed nature of intelligence. Most people are just about as smart as … Continue reading
