Missiverna #27
Hejsan!
Lite länkar och grejs:
- Rätt underhållande, detta: "My Husband's Stupid Record Collection".
- Urban Jungle Street View kanske inte finnas kvar så länge till, med tanke på att Einar Öberg verkar hittat ett odokumenterat sätt att får en djungel att växa mitt i några storstäder i Google Street View (bl.a. Stockholm). Funkar bara i Chrome. [via: The Verge]
- Konferensen README, om läsande, som äger rum i Lund 26 maj, verkar genuint intressant.
- Från en artikel om danska "innovations- och strategi"-konsultbyrån Red Associates:
"Gadamer’s hermeneutics aren’t only useful for understanding existence, argue Christian Madsbjerg and Mikkel Rasmussen; they offer insight into commercial questions as well. The two believe that Gadamer, his mentor, Martin Heidegger, French phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and any number of scholars considered abstruse even in the ivory tower can help companies solve some of their most complicated business challenges." - Screenhero - "Screen sharing made for remote developers". [via: http.tv4.se]
- Diverse: "Iconic history is a Chrome extension that visualizes your browser history as a favicon stack." / Pop / Internet Archives Tumblr kommer ha ett nytt tema varje vecka, där "digital residents" fått rota runt i arkivet / doing / Interviewly / NoteHub / Unmark / Going Into Detail / /FAVORITES.
- Jag har ju nämnt organisationsformen Holacracy här ett par gången tidigare, så inte mer än rätt att jag också länkar till Catherine Bracys reflektion att såna här ledarlösa, eller minimalistiska, organisationer också kan leda till ett godtyckligt maktutövande och, ännu värre, sexism och hot, som i fallet Julie Ann Horvath och GitHub.
- SvD - "85 medarbetare och ingen chef".
- Model View Culture - "Sex and the Startup: Men, Women, and Work".
- co.LABS i höstas - "Inside GitHub's Super-Lean Management Strategy--And How It Drives Innovation". - Ett citat från en bok som verkar intressant: "How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character"
"Two of the most important executive functions are cognitive flexibility and cognitive self-control. Cognitive flexibility is the ability to see alternative solutions to problems, to think outside the box, to negotiate unfamiliar situations. Cognitive self-control is the ability to inhibit an instinctive or habitual response and substitute a more effective, less obvious one."
Från "How To Think", av Shane Parrish. - Inte den gamla vanliga framtidsspaningen (dvs inte bara teknik, teknik, teknik), från IDEO: "Made in the Future is an effort to capture our musings about what a not-so-distant tomorrow might look like."
- Vanity Fair: "The story behind Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s liaison with Google Glass marketing manager Amanda Rosenberg—and his split from his wife, genetic-testing entrepreneur Anne Wojcicki— has a decidedly futuristic edge." - Kanske inte något för alla, men..."This is a story on how a quick evening project to fix the appearance of underlined Medium links turned into a month-long endeavour."
Uppdatering om en grej från förra utskicket: Gunnar påminner om en sågning av Evelyn Barishs Paul de Man-biografi i New York Review of Books: "An overriding problem of Barish’s book is the mélange of interesting fact with egregious misstatement and portentous innuendo".
