An excellent article on learning in the digital age, written by John Seely Brown (commonly known as JSB), the independent co-chairman of the Deloitte Center for the Edge. As an Edge Fellow and having worked at the Center for the Edge, I can attest to JSB's brilliance and passion for learning. He is a true collaborator!

Three years of analysis later, McKinsey says YES, Web 2.0 technology brings business results
Call it a culture shift, call it new technologies, call it a consumer fad, call it what you will, Web 2.0 is worth it for business.

Be as creative as you can be
Creativity is not just an art and it's not just a science. It's both. I have found that to increase your propensity to be creative you should:
Read a lot (not just easy to read or "eye-candy" such as tweets but substantive material such as points of view, articles, books)
View a lot (observe others)
Listen a lot (listen to experts and non-experts)
Inquire a lot (ask questions)
Get involved in a lot (have multiple, diverse interests)
And you will be more creative.
What else could I add here?

Rumble in the Bronx
Ahhh, the simple things that make me laugh. A father son outing. I wonder if our little boy will be like the red head or the one in the Yankees hat.
