A couple of neat sites came through the twitterverse over the last few days. For Science Fiction fans this interactive display of multiple classics is a delight. Coupled this effective display of your twitter friends (or anyone else's for that matter is not only fun, its also useful. Finally for those who don't follow my tweet feed here are two wonderful remakes of the I'm a mac, I'm a PC Ads. The South Park version is pretty cool, the the transformers is special. Oh, and a really outstanding hotel in Aberdeen, great beds, flat screen tele with a DVD and the best real burger I have had in a hotel anywhere in the world. I travelled up here by train, leaving Pewsey on the 1006 via London and getting to Aberdeen at 2030. First class advance was cheaper than a cheap period return in second class (the absurdity of rail travel in the UK at the moment). I was able to work solidly, with free wifi and increasingly outstanding scenery rolling past by the window. OK it was ten hours, but if I had flown then it would have been six fragmented hours with little work and much hassle.

I've noted the Aberdeen hotel for my next visit up there - whenever that might be. Have to comment on "absurdity of rail travel" since the second class Advance ticket would have been cheaper still. I can still get a return to London for £9.20 if I book early enough and am flexible about which train to get.

Hey Dave,
In the spirit of sharing links, thought I'd share this Fast Company article, given to me by a colleague:
http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/fred-collopy/manage-designing/lessons-learned-why-failure-systems-thinking-should-inform-future?partner=leadership_newsletter
It seeks to learn lessons from the failure of systems thinking, and apply them to the new trend of design thinking in management. Love to hear your thoughts.
