New Clinton video: In what direction will she keep moving forward?

viip — Tue, 13 May 2008 12:20:16 +0000

The world is watching the US elections, and doing related blogging. For example, Telegraph.co.uk today said “Mrs Clinton is expected to easily defect Senator Barack Obama tonight, but victory would do nothing to dent his crucial delegate lead”.

Given her new video, in what direction do you think she will keep moving forward? It may be a good thing if the outcome of the election resulted in the US having Obama as President and Mrs. Clinton as another one of the innate qualities of the overall team that helps to bring about real (positive) change that (from various perspectives) is increasingly for the better, and for all.

Kudos to creative bloggers; and kudos also to Walt Disney

Whether you are a Chief Blogging Officer, Chief Evangelist, or just an everyday person who shares thoughts and ideas through the net, “keep moving forward”, we learn from experience (not simply from success)… you may have a spirit, idea or invention inside of you that somehow is a small catalyst for helping to make the future bright for all. Kudos to creative bloggers; and kudos also to Walt Disney for their usage of technology in entertaining and educational ways, including through movies like Meet the Robinsons (great quote at the end, nice song too).

Technology, use it to do good (ps: cool movie, Ironman)

viip — Mon, 12 May 2008 13:09:32 +0000

Those with an interest in technology will likely enjoy Ironman. I did. Progressively innate improvements relative to software, technology and information, will not only align humans and technology to be more so partners, increasingly through different types of applications the two will fuse together and be more so one. Technology can save lives, and keep people alive. Increasingly it must evolve as, and be utilized as, a force for good.

Go Green: New study, Canada second last, U.S. last; surely we can do better

viip — Thu, 08 May 2008 13:35:17 +0000

See story details. Are you surprised by the results? Do you think Canada and the U.S. will make leaping improvements by 2020? How about by 2035? How about much sooner? Do you think websites, blogs, online videos and so on (e.g., the global IT community, and increasingly greater collaboration with the general public, i.e. consumers) will be significant contributors to helping the planet further go green?

An Internet that makes a real difference to people’s lives, everyday

The indented quote is from this video. One idea noted in the video that may help to make an Internet that is increasingly valuable is minimally invasive education.

I’m looking for the latest Internet… I’m looking for an Internet that makes a real difference to people’s lives, everyday— Stephen Saunders

If you have an example of Internet usage that is helping to make a real positive difference to people’s lives everyday feel free to share awareness with a comment and related link. Thank you for doing so.

How can innovation be increasingly unlocked?

Q: How can innovation be increasingly unlocked? Can it be with increased visibility, control and automation? For example see this IBM - Gartner Video.

A: By making quality, value, excellence and simplicity increasingly intrinsic and pervasive (for related thinking read Inherent Quality Simplicity; Thank you for doing so).

Search engine partnering, upstarts, mergers and advances

viip — Wed, 07 May 2008 12:20:16 +0000

Would it be good if Google and Yahoo partnered more? How about if they merged? Will upstarts somehow be further catalysts that help to drive innovative leaps beyond semantic, multimedia and other challenges? As a result of search engine partnering, upstarts, mergers and advances, how will surfing the web evolve by (and what will it look and feel like by) 2020?

Free, high-quality, to every person, in their language

viip — Fri, 02 May 2008 13:20:48 +0000

Digital evangelist, Jimmy Wales expressed a very nice goal (The goal of Wikipedia is to give a free, high-quality encyclopedia to every single person on the planet in their own language) and it was refreshing to read that he hopes and thinks the online community will eventually serve a greater purpose and that he thinks “we’re going to get more community activism that’s empowered by innovative tools that are coming up online”. Thanks for sharing Nicole and Jimmy.

Thanks also to SJC for commenting on recent VIIP post: The career, Software Developer; and for writing a related post on his blog.
