When hype meets group think, you can quickly create broken culture in your organization... We're seeing more examples lately.

Still a masterpiece if you ask me. I love that movie.

Ever realized raccoons had something to do with the history of computing? And children illustrations? Work of art if you ask me... we have to get back to the time of the computer magazines.

Very nice praise to an underrated and underpaid job. Can we have more librarians please?

Are we sure the Moomins are really a cute tale? I always felt them slightly off, but indeed it goes much darker than I suspected.

Hear, hear! It sucks up all the air in conversation and obliterate imagination. As if we couldn't do better.

Sure, a filter which turns pictures into something with the Ghibli style looks cute. But make no mistake, it has utter political motives. They need a distraction from their problems and it's yet another way to breach a boundary. Unfortunately I expect people will comply and use the feature with enthusiasm...

We should definitely put the 10x engineer myth to rest. Let's focus on setting up the right organisation and culture instead.

Once again the music labels can't understand the cultural value of building archives. Let's hope they loose the lawsuit.

Sure it makes generating content faster... but it's indeed so bland and uniform.

Interesting piece, we indeed need to move beyond from the "for hackers by hackers" mindset. I don't even think it was really the whole extent of the political goals when the Free Software movement started. Somehow we got stuck there though.

Looks like I'm a digital packrat of some sort! There are reasons behind it and it's well explained.

Of course I agree with this piece. You need enough culture in your field to know about a breadth of topics. It will definitely help pick up the next one you don't know about yet or help you build parallels for the tougher problems you encounter.

Time management and timezones are definitely complicated. In a way it's culture colliding with computers and localisation... it can't be simple.

Excellent piece, we're a civilisation whose culture is built on shifting sands and... toy plastics. Guess what will survive us?

Interesting take about the mantras often used in our profession. They shouldn't be treated as laws, but as proverbs carrying a piece of contextual wisdom. It's thus unsurprising that they tend to contradict each other. This contradiction should make us pause and think.

I've been listening to these radio channels the past few weeks. It's quirky, it's weird, it's wild. I definitely recommend them to get out of your usual music bubble.

Very nice account of how the Internet is nowadays and how it got there. I like the gardening metaphor which works nicely here. And yes, we can go back to a better Web again. It's a collective decision though, that's what makes it hard.

This is a big and relevant release for open and freely accessible culture.

A few points to take with a pinch of salt, especially regarding the proposed solutions. Still it makes a very good point that most transformation failures toward agile organizations are due to lack of trust and the swapping of one bureaucracy for another.
