At James Ray on ABC7 in Denver – 7/19/07 was a video where James Ray was titled “World Thought Leader”

How ? Who ?

hansel minutes

how did i come across it ?

Joel Spolsky wrote about TechMeme which has “really cool algorithms to figure out where the conversation is, and put it back together.”

If UML might NOT be sufficient for your needs

The Object Primer: Agile Model-Driven Development with UML 2.0(Paperback)

The Object Primer is supposedly (one of) the best book(s) to understand OO and UML

Page 12: Most business applications store data in some sort of database, often a relational one, yet the UML does not include a standard way to model data schemas.

Personally, I have never built a system that was so narrowly constrained.”

Thus being the case, why a subtitle “Agile Model-Driven Development with UML 2.0″

Happy Planet Index

Saturday, July 7th, 2007

Found info about Happy Planet Index at RD

“This website introduces a measure of something more fundamental. It addresses the relative success or failure of countries in supporting good life for their citizens, whilst respecting the environmental resource limits upon which our lives depend.”

Is anyone investigating the effect of the live earth events themselves on the environment ?

Most of the concerts are “Rock” which I have read somewhere is not good according to Dr Emoto
