trendwatching.com's September 2009 Trend Briefing covering "TRANSPARENCY TRIUMPH" - http://www.trendwatching.com/trends...
"Think 'transparency' is an established, maturing theme? You ain’t seen nothing yet. Sure, we’ve been harping on forever about the many ways consumers can research, compare and review their way to a more powerful position, but every month brings us smart new examples of consumers and brands intent on making opinions, quality standards and prices even more transparent." - Keith Pelczarski from Bookmarklet

CreditBloggers: First US Penny Said "Mind Your Business"
"Benjamin Franklin designed the first official US penny, minted in 1787. It's now known as the "Fugio cent" (Latin: I fly). At the bottom of the penny was the message: "Mind Your Business." (The message "In God We Trust" didn't appear on a US coin until 1864.)" - Keith Pelczarski from Bookmarklet

Google Redefines Disruption: The “Less Than Free” Business Model « abovethecrowd.com - http://abovethecrowd.com/2009...
"Rumors abound about just how many cars Google has on the roads building it own turn-by-turn mapping data as well as its unique “Google Streetview” database. Whatever it is, it must be huge. This October 13th, just over one year after dropping NavTeq, the other shoe dropped as well. Google disconnected from Tele Atlas and began to offer maps that were free and clear of either license. These maps are based on a combination of their own data as well as freely available data. Two weeks after this, Google announces free turn-by-turn directions for all Android phones. This couldn’t have been a great day for the deal teams that worked on the respective Tele Atlas and NavTeq acquisitions." - Keith Pelczarski from Bookmarklet

Day 3 of an evil virus. Feelin' mighty low. Had my regular flu shot a month ago, so maybe I'm really allergic to pigs.

Now get off my lawn.
Lemme guess, for Halloween, you were a crotchety old man who hates everything "kids these days" are into. Were you sitting on your front porch on a rocking chair mumbling to yourself about how awful kids these days are and that back in your day little girls didn't dress nearly as slutty as they do now? ;) - April Buchheit
Actually, I escorted Lord Vader around the 'hood wearing a Stormtrooper helmet and skeleton jammies. (And walked around shaking my head about the slutty little girls.) - Keith Pelczarski from iPhone
^ HA! - Anika
As a father of a little girl, the scariest thing about Halloween was how many too-young girls were wearing too-old costumes.
I hear ya! I'm so glad Camilla wanted to be The Cat in the Hat *again* this year. - April Buchheit

A cordless future for electricity? - CNN.com - http://www.cnn.com/2009...
"Ideas about wireless electricity have been floating around the world of technology for more than a century. Nikola Tesla started toying with the ability to send electricity through the air in the 1890s. Since then, though, making wireless electricity technology safe and cheap enough to put on the market has been an arduous task for researchers." - Keith Pelczarski from Bookmarklet

An Epidemic of Fear: How Panicked Parents Skipping Shots Endangers Us All | Magazine - http://www.wired.com/magazin...
"Before smallpox was eradicated with a vaccine, it killed an estimated 500 million people. And just 60 years ago, polio paralyzed 16,000 Americans every year, while rubella caused birth defects and mental retardation in as many as 20,000 newborns. Measles infected 4 million children, killing 3,000 annually, and a bacterium called Haemophilus influenzae type b caused Hib meningitis in more than 15,000 children, leaving many with permanent brain damage. Infant mortality and abbreviated life spans — now regarded as a third world problem — were a first world reality." - Keith Pelczarski from Bookmarklet
@schlchtmyr If you're going to Utah in the winter, you should go to Sundance! I'm going again this year.
Sunday morning with the kids, making pancakes and listening to Zeppelin. I can already tell that today is going to be awesome.

Blow-Up Over Artist’s Blow-Up of Obama Stipple Drawing  | Threat Level | Wired.com
"Pablo Picasso once said, “Good artists copy, great artists steal.” But Wall Street Journal illustrator Noli Novak says Spanish artist Jose Maria Cano engaged in outright plagiarism in producing a large painting that meticulously duplicates Novak’s stipple portrait of President Barack Obama, including the surrounding text that ran on the front page of the Journal last year. Jose Maria Cano's giant hand-painted copy of Noli Novak's Obama drawing “He copied it dot by dot,” Novak said. Cano, who could not be reached for comment, has produced an entire series of paintings copied from the Journal’s signature stipple portraiture — all of them several times larger than the newspaper clippings from which they’re derived." - Keith Pelczarski from Bookmarklet

What'd you think of it? Did you go to the afternoon or evening showing? (I was there for the afternoon one.) - Dan Hsiao
We went to the evening show since there were better tickets available. We had a great time. I thought it was an interesting way of retelling the saga. The props they had on display were really cool, though it got pretty crowded over there. The symphony part was cool, but I wish that the venue had been more intimate to get more of the sound straight from the instruments. We were far... more... - Keith Pelczarski
