going to be on Bowen Island, near Vancouver BC, September 28 through

Vancouver September 26-27. Let me know if you're available for a meetup! How to Save the World Friday, July 18, 2008 Friday Flashback: Twelve Ways to Think Differently In
May 2005 I wrote this post that, after it was picked up months later on
Digg and other popularity lists of web articles, turned out to be my
most-visited article ever:Our minds are like our bodies --
fail to exercise them and they atrophy and break down. We live in an
age of specialization, where we are encouraged to narrow our interests
and our activities, to focus and limit ourselves to doing things at
which we are very competent. So parts of our brain get a lot of
exercise and other parts very little. What's worse, this can actually
narrow our comfort zone, the range of things we enjoy doing or thinking
about and are competent in. Many of our cultural activities and
artefacts: political debates, win/lose competitions, hierarchies, laws,
religions, 'best practices', systematization, uniforms, and monolithic
architecture and design -- all tend to reinforce 'one right answer'
thinking that discourages and ultimately excludes and prevents us from
thinking differently. Even the mental How to Save the World Friday, July 18, 2008 Did NVIDIA and ATI Engage in Price Fixing? The answer, it would seem, is yes -- probably.
An anti-trust suit filed against the two companies has unearthed an interesting exchange of documents between Dan Vivoli, NVIDIA's [NASDAQ:NVDA] Senior VP of Marketing and ATI's [TSE:ATY - Inactive] President and COO Dave Orton. According to the documents, which were made public by the court this week, Vivoli sent Orton an email saying:

According to SE's Q2 results, net sales dropped a staggering 97%, thanks in part to industry-wide lagging high-end mobile phone sales.

One of our investments - Zynga - helped a nice young couple (Tyler Richardson and his (now) fiancee Christine) get engaged via Scramble, one of my favorite Zynga games. Thanks to Inside Social Games for showing us the way with their post Suitor Pops the Question in Game of Facebook Scramble. Feld.com Friday, July 18, 2008 Gnip Starts Getting Twitter Data One of the questions I've been asked numerous times since Gnip launched a few weeks ago is "when is Gnip going to start working with Twitter?" The answer is: today. Gnip's current partners now include Twitter. Thanks Twitter guys! This happens to coincide with the end of my experiment of "a week without Twitter" (yes - I missed it) so to commemorate this I turned my Twitter client (Twhirl) back on and started tweeting again. The Gnip data producer and data consumer universe is getting larger quickly; drop me an email if you want to come play and I'll get you gnipped-up.

Supposedly, Amazon's new repository will operate much like a cable-on-demand service, offering customers access to more than 40,000 titles in streaming digital video.
