OneSpring This is just flat-out exciting. For those of us who remember the world of pre-Google searching, and for those of us who appreciate the rise that Google has had (for good or for bad), it's exciting to see some viable contenders in the post-Google search arena. I think that conceptually, Wolfram Alpha strikes me as the most interesting.

Why right-brainers will rule this century: Author Daniel Pink discusses his new book, "A Whole New Mind". One great nugget is this quote: "What's important now are the characteristics of the brain's right hemisphere: artistry, empathy, inventiveness, big-picture thinking. These skills have become first among equals in a whole range of business fields."
This is great news for those of us in the UX community.

Chuck located this video that to me, represents the essence of a OneSpring JAM session: a collection of players with a single goal, able to improvise and add to the output that, taken as a whole, is much greater than the sum of its parts. Be sure to read the backstory on how this was produced. Amazing. http://gizmodo.com/5231112/best-video-iv e-seen-today-will-make-you-smile
