Introducing the book

Posted on September 26, 2011 | 1 comment

It is not new, but after someone asked me if there is a “search” option in a book I gave him – I just had to show this video to him – it is just hilarious.

The museum of obsolete objects

Posted on September 22, 2011 | 2 comments

My daughter got a new book, written in 1979 – not so long ago. When I read it to her for as bedtime story, we came across a description of two twins playing with records (not Guinness, vinyl ones) and with a phonograph. How the hell can I explain what these things are ? An old, bigger, more sensitive and noisier version of the CDs?

I wonder – most of the objects mentioned in the Bible were still in use 50 years  ago. The Bible is by far older than 30 years  🙂

However, I came a cross a great site for Nostalgia lovers – The Museum of Obsolete Objects – it is a set of videos created by a German studio. Each clip demonstrates one of the technologies that are no longer with us – floppy disk, typewriter,   pocket calculators etc. , in a short and cute way – with a mechanical voice-over and with some nice winks.

Enjoy

It is all about Empathy – take 2

Posted on September 15, 2011 | 1 comment

A few months ago I shared with you a TED talk called “A radical experiment in empathy“, asking you to put yourself in the shoes of the other in order to better understand him.

If you liked it (and even if you did not) – here is a 5-min TED talk, fresh from the press called Shake up your story by an artist called Raghava KK. 

Short and insightful. He starts by literally shaking a story to change it and to get rid of prejudices or the viewers perspective.

Highly recommended !

About Innovation

Posted on September 15, 2011 | Leave a comment

I know I haven’t posted for a long time. I am too busy… There is a pile of things I want to write about, and I just don’t find the time. So I will do my best 🙂

I came across (thank you Gal), an inspiring article called The eight pillars of innovation from Google about the Google way of encouraging creativity and innovation. Not long, and worth the time !

Enjoy
