Google’s web browser (Chrome): early review
I’ve written often about web browser design, so I happily downloaded Chrome, Google’s new web browser (download), a few hours ago. Although I’ve been running it through its paces, this is an early review, as its over days and wee...
Going to SXSW? Vote for my panel
Never been to SXSW but was asked by Susan Price to be on a panel about Attention and Design at SXSW in March ‘09. I have opinions galore about attention (See my essay attention and sex), and think this is a great topic. The way it works is ...

Thursday linkfest
How buildings learn, the movie. Based on one of my favorite books, a six part BBC series on google video explores the themes from the books with tons of real world examples (How did I not find this before!). How design can save democracy. A sho...
Interview w/Jared Spool, on Innovation (Podcast)
A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to be interviewed by Jared Spool, industry legend and CEO of User Interface Engineering, about innovation, management and doughnuts. It’s a fun conversation, as both of us are fond of wisecracks and sar...
How do you teach leadership in high school?
I was recently asked by a high school teacher about ideas for teaching leadership to teenagers (She heard about Making things happen, and is considering applying some of its content). They start in middle-school and the students are hand picked t...
More on learning from mistakes
Some recent e-mail about my essay on how to learn from mistakes. Brian wrote: I enjoyed reading your article “#44 - How to learn from your mistakes”. One other category of mistake I would add to your list, really a continuation of the...
Ten Inventions I Want To See
I confess I’m a reluctant technologist. I have a latent love for the stuff, but 90% of what gets bandied about as “the wave of the future” is about productivity, which I find funny, since I think our problem is quality, not quant...
Quote of the month: Tim O’Reilly on journalism
What journalists do, which many bloggers have yet to learn, is to consult multiple sources and do fact checking before blurting out a story. But what bloggers do, which journalists have yet to learn, is to wear their biases on their sleeve, rather...

Over on Harvard Business, I had a chance to interview master anthropologist and frequent blogger Grant McCraken. Check out the interview here. We talk about culture as a key factor in organizations, the abuse of innovation and other words, and w...
From the mailbag: Best request ever for writing advice
I get a lot of email, and sometimes lots of blog comments. Some of it is very nice, has feedback and useful criticism, or suggestions for things to write about, and I’m grateful for it. Some are requests for speaking engagements which I make...
The limits of leaked memos (Apple & Microsoft)
Another post at Harvard business is up - here’s an excerpt: There is a difference between talk and action, and memos are 90% talk. We all know this. If a CEO at a 20,000+ person company wants to take action, he will, and most of those action...
Speaking in Milwaukee, WI, Fri Sept 19th
I’m a travel whore, I admit. If I can go somewhere i haven’t been, and on someone else’s dime, I’m a happy man. So when I had a chance to speak in Milwaukee and the dates lined up, I said yes. I’ve been to 41 of the 5...
Speaking at User interface 13, October ‘08, Cambridge, MA
I spoke last year at User interface 12, and I must have done something right. They’ve invited me back to do my full day seminar: How to lead breakthrough projects. It’s the only conference I know of that pays speakers based on perform...

The 10 worst keyboards of all time. A great list that rivals the keyboard i claimed was the worst keyboard in the world a few months ago. IRA Glass’s Radio Manifesto. If you listen to This American Life (which you should), here is Ira Glas...
