Love the drawing and connections he makes.
The iPad will change everything. A year from now the 3rd device will be a given. Three year from now the downward slide of the PC will accelerate and the iPad be at the leading edge of a number of cloud enabled devices. I am loving the potential for software in this new world!!
This is the tablet I want.
I saw this last Spring and thought it was great and after seeing it again I just had to post. Passion is a great thing.
Not sure it is a very collaborative work environment but, a great view in the fall.

The Singularity University (SU) is sponsored by NASA, Google, and other thought leaders to explore emerging technologies from cross disciplinary perspective. There focus on tackling the world’s biggest problems with a holistic process guided by disruptive thinking is brilliant. Their focus is on technologies and ideas that are just emerging but with the increasing pace of technology adoption the future is becoming closer then we previously thought.
This summer was there first full semester with top class graduate students from around the world. Ray Kurzweil and Peter Diamandis were two of the original drivers of the idea and the list of faculty and advisors is a who’s who of the worlds top thinkers.
While at HP I was privileged to be able to attend a couple of seminars Paul Saffo a leading edge futurist at Saffo.com and know how powerful it is to have structured brainstorming with brilliant people. I am excited to see what SU will produce over the coming years.
I attended an open seminar at SU about the “Internet of Things”. After the presentation the speaker encouraged the room to break up into groups and design systems that could emit or consume SPIME (SPace + tIME) signals. I wanted to join but the effects of my latest month long 16 hr/day sprint was limiting my ability to communicate. I plan on being rested and prepared if the opportunity comes along again.
