Book Review - as it is written

My day job is in IT, managing software development, and I've decided to add to the blog stuff that I've found out to do with technology, if I manage to keep it up I might start another blog, but no point at the moment.

I've been reading a book by Charles Leadbetter called 'We Think' - you can download it here. It's unusual - the author and his publisher have put it online as it is being written so that people can read it and comment on it.

The book itself is about mass creativity, wikipedia, flickr, youtube etc.

I've just started it but the first few chapters have been interesting, starting with ideas from the barefoot movement in India.

Half of a sunset


Half of a sunset, originally uploaded by ShirleyGrant.

It's amazing how far south the sunset has gone since I moved here 2 months ago. Tonight the orange rays were in one half of the sky, took this at a wide angle. The right hand side stayed grey-blue.
