I’ve been on semi-hiatus for the last month or so … gathering thoughts, shaking off the winter, watching the world unfold, some project work, speaking at a few conferences … but not blogging.  I’ll work my way back into it as it happens.

I noticed today on CNN that there’s a new online initiative to crowd-source potential oil spill cleanup solutions.  Good idea, practical and of obvious value.  I wonder how they’ll evaluate the many submissions they are sure to get.

I also noticed this following piece whilst browsing .. the use of online social networks for workers in China to organize (especially where the unions are complacent or controlled) as they are pushing for more pay.
