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.

Great visualization from the MozyBlog for the numbers that drive the internet. What is amazing is that Google processes as much information per day as half of all the entire written works of mankind. It makes you wonder what is in all this extra data.
The iTune App store comes alive at WWDC. Each ripple is a purchase of an application.
I just got from a one month vacation in Europe. That time allowed me to reset my world view a bit before I dived back into social media overload. I thought this article had a nice perspective for where we are going with social media.
Visiting the medieval villages of southern France was great fun and a nice break from the cube.
