The words both start with L-E-A, but can leadership really be learned? As a consultant, I have the pleasure and challenge to work with a variety of different teams. I am a team of one, but I collaborate with agency teams (such as Happy Cog, whom I

The iPad Will Change Photography Part 1:

An interesting take on the iPad with regard to photography. I think the author makes a good point here that we have to think of this as something new, not try to fit it into our current mindset.

Creative Organizing:

I’ve been pondering the power of goals for the past several days. It is the start of the year after all—a time to set New Year’s resolutions, or new goals, for the year ahead. I love this process. I find it exhilarating and empowering. But, as I’ve discovered (and remembered,) not everyone feels this way about goals.

GOOGLE’s Nexus One Phone

Google announced the Nexus One phone at CES, which will be sold by Google themselves for around $530 (unlocked version) and $180 (with a subsidized contract through T-Mobile). Is this an iPhone killer or just another device trying its best to keep up? Well, I took a look at it and found the following noteworthy features:

The Screen: It’s incredibly bright and clear; it’s a 3.7in, low power, “organic LED” screen that doesn’t need backlighting.

Google’s Portal: It’s a seamless way to synchronize your Google account, prompting you initially to log into it. With just a couple of clicks you can synchronize your contacts, email, searches, and anything else you have in your account. Yes, it’s convenient but just know that this data all goes back to Google - so all your information is tracked via satellite for Google’s own database.

Camera: There’s a built-in 5-megapixel camera with built-in flash

Voice Search: One of my favorite, most futuristic extras, because it will allow you to do navigation search (including GPS Map) by simply stating the location you’re looking for.

The Rollerball: Unlike other devices, the rollerball actually lights up and changes color depending on which application you’re using, a minor new function I haven’t seen on any other device.

“I have thoughts, as I walk, on some subject that is running in my head, but all their pertinence seems gone before I can get home to set them down. The most valuable thoughts which I entertain are anything but what I thought. Nature abhors a vacuum, and if I can only walk with sufficient carelessness I am sure to be filled.”
