BEtreat - a party workshop
And having fun at the same time. BEtreat In 2008 Ton threw a birthday party for Elmine in Enschede (NL) which they turned into a sort of unconference. Time is pressing as it runs from 5th - 10th July: a state-of-the art and cutting-edge workshop culminating in a birthday celebration. How many of us are blurring the edges of private and professional? Etienne Wenger and I are throwing a birthday workshop in Grass Valley, California. It's a way of sharing our work together and pushing out the envelope.

Innovation on the Edge
I’ve played on the edge throughout most of my professional career, whether it was doing deals in the Sultanate of Oman back in the 1970s, building a start-up around a new technology called the microprocessor in 1980, building a new Internet-focused practice for McKinsey in 1993 or spending more time in places like Bangalore, Shenzhen and Shanghai in the early part of this decade (my first visit to Shenzhen was actually in 1982 when I led a major manufacturing offshoring initiative there).
Instinctively, I have been drawn to various edges because of the opportunity and challenge they

Hard Work and Practice in Programming
We even assume a whole category of readers who will assemble applications by cutting and pasting code together without much understanding of what they're doing and how to smooth the rough edges.
Some At the Program For the Future event commemorating the 40th anniversary of Doug Englebart's " mother of all demos " in 1968, I was privileged to hear an inspired rant by Alan Kay about the unwillingness of people to work hard to learn new skills.

Shift Happens – The Future of Advertising
Amazon continues to represent a leading edge example of how a trusted third party intermediary can help filter and present information about the interests and purchase patterns of others in ways that are very helpful in discovering new products. Hardly, but it will move from the core of marketing to the edge, challenged by diminishing returns and more robust options for engaging people.
In a world of rapid change, shift piles upon shift. One can get thoroughly confused and draw the wrong conclusions by focusing on one change while losing sight of the shifts that are coming up.

Pedagogy First? Whatever.
Come a little closer to the edge. In dealing with faculty and instructional designers, a series of almost default phrases are vocalized once technology is mentioned: "We need to start with pedagogy"..."It's It's pedagogy first".
Or, Or, whenever I'm in a meeting and someone says "pedagogy first", the apparently genetic instinct to nod viciously is enacted by everyone around the table. "Yes,

Stupidity and the Internet
Some of the best responses (including some rejoinders by Nick) are available at the Edge and the Brittanica blog . Nick Carr has a talent for stirring debate. I’ve been drawn in to such debates in the past and, once again, I find that I cannot resist.
