funny stuff…

- I firmly believe that the Internet was not created for the benefit of pornographers and Youtube, they have just been the ones who up to this put have taken the most advantage of it. Praise God that is changing…Not that long ago, the idea of providing a live video stream on the Internet of an event (say, for instance, a Billy Graham crusade) was a very costly and very ambitious endeavor. I know, because I worked on a few crusade webcasts for The Man (most notably the 2000 Nashville Crusade that started it all). We’ve come a long way, baby! (via leadership network)
- What type of leader are you, a CEO or a Catalyst? Why is this question important? Because according to the authors innovative technology has shifted the way that organizations and companies do business and operate in the world. The authors lay out a pretty good case study for the power of a decentralized network, and lean upon examples such as Wikipedia, eBay, Skype, Amazon, craigslist, etc. According to the authors more and more organizations are being driven by the users, and user content and participation is crucial. Without this participation from people, a network does not usually thrive, and centralized organizations on the other hand have little room for user control and participation. The key words in this new movement are collaboration, and it’s not so new as you will read about important examples of these decentralized networks in groups such as the Apache Indians.

- Interesting concept that true innovation comes from people with a fresh pair of eyes…In his classic 1962 book, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Thomas Kuhn argued that the people who achieve “fundamental inventions of a new paradigm have either been very young or very new to the field whose paradigm they change.”(1). In other words, when it comes to innovation, organisations can be disabled by experience and specialisation. (via fastcompany)
- We all know this right? In case you didn’t know it by now, let me just say, followership is the crucible of leadership. There is no better way to learn leadership than by being under someone else—leading from the second chair. As ironic as that may sound, it’s true. Learning to lead under someone else provides you with the opportunity (the necessity) to learn to lead without coercion. You learn to let your leadership speak for itself—authentically.

- What can we learn from Mr. Spitzer? Ms. Spitzer was meant to follow her husband, as Mr. Spitzer was meant to follow his wife. Leadership flows both ways in a marriage. For example, Mr. Sptizer asked his wife to follow him as he rose through the ranks of New York politics. I imagine (can’t know for sure) she did because she trusted him and the words that fell from his mouth. When a leader violates trust, tragedy is not far behind. (via epic living)

GFeller makes leather Moleskine cases…for about 20 bucks I converted this Franklin planner case into a new home for my M.
A second skin for your Large Moleskine®Notebook (5 x 8 ¼”) that itself will become an elegant heirloom. Priced at $39.95 it is an excellent value and will provide exceptional service. We used our regular English kip, a thin very tight-grained leather that is exceedingly durable. (Also available in Chocolate or Black calf finished cowhide or buffalo, depending upon availability.) This hand cut cover features extended inside cover flaps to completely eliminate the “Cover Bump” normally encountered with slip on covers. The rear inside flap has been slit to allow use of the elastic closure Moleskine® made famous. (via gfeller)
