Agile Charts: "I'm sick of Gantt charts.  They're hard to maintain and they don't tell me what I want to know.  I want the big picture"

Tell me about couples and surfing!: "I know that I don't really watch TV any more. I'm online all the time. But whereas a couple watching TV, curled up on a sofa together, may have felt "together", a couple surfing on two wifi laptops are visiting different sites, having different experiences. They seem more apart than together. The internet age feels less communal than the TV age did."

Cough, cough.

A short week, as Tom's European Tour 2006 kicks off on Friday with a trip to Geneva for this aikido course with Patrick Cassidy. NewTom went along last year and came back raving about it, and I've never been to Switzerland before so it should be a fun one (aside from worries about explaining to customs officials why I'm carrying a bag of weapons).

Had a most enjoyable weekend, minimally but aptly described elsewhere in the blogosphere - nuff said :)

Technology leaves teens speechless: "Hamling claims kids today are used to re-reading an IM message six times before answering and no longer know how to improvise, banter spontaneously or chat face to face."
