Going to dentist and listening to John Mayer is kind of redundant, isn't it? - Scott Baradell

I can go for more of this kind of blogging. - Brian Oberkirch

There are a bunch of reasons why I think Wikirank is cool, but my favorite is how it helps people find stories in the data. One of the great things about the web is how measuring tiny behaviors reveals patterns that tell stories. The data we get from Wikipedia is no different; as we started playing around with the numbers, we saw loads of interesting shapes emerge in the charts. - Brian Oberkirch

One thing that’s clear is that the importance people associate with owning stuff will decrease. It will be supplanted by access, experiences, and the act of creation. - Brian Oberkirch

It is by rediscovering how to make stuff that's not toxic junk in the first place that we'll get out of the mess lame, evil, brain-dead 20th century thinking has left us in. That's the challenge of a new generation of revolutionaries. And it's not about new business models: it's about reconceiving authentic, deep, value creation. - Brian Oberkirch

My colleague Teresa recently began a podcast series titled Tea with Teresa. In it, she talks to folks about their passions, getting them to explain the ins and outs of what excites them. I was humbled to be included in her latest podcast, on The History and Evolution of User Experience Design. - Brian Oberkirch

I could just as easily argue that ubiquitous technologies break down social barriers, allow people to form more effective communities of interest, give people the tools with which to readily coordinate their activities with friends and strangers alike. - Brian Oberkirch

I see unconsumption as an extension of Buying In, not a potential sequel. I always wanted the “sell” on Buying In to be that it was a book that would “help you change the way you shop/consume,” by pulling back the curtain on contemporary murketing practice as well as workings of the consumer mind revealed by behavioral psychology. - Brian Oberkirch

Muller and Becker (from crowd-sourced customer support service GetSatisfaction.com) explained why they believe we're moving towards a post-consumerism economy and discussed some of the trends and opportunities that are now arising from this culture shift. - Brian Oberkirch

Looks like a pretty happy guy to me. - Brian Oberkirch

But institutions are a notoriously slippery concept, and it's sometimes difficult to know they begin and end. Let's firm them up, using a scorecard we've developed at the Lab. The scorecard should help make it crystal clear when we're reinventing of the four fundamental kinds of institutions. We use it to see and help decision-makers see who is seeding, growing, and nurturing responsiveness - and you can do the same. - Brian Oberkirch
