Some other quotes: Cognitive Diversity. We should be teaching children rhetoric instead of calculus. The whole speech was like this.

Thank you for mentioning this wonderful speech. I also could have listened to more, and would love to have some beers with this guy. What I would like to bring back is the idea of having a knowledge coordinator, who is responsible for replenishing t…

The SF Pecha Kucha video was a last minute opportunity. The camera was actually a FLIP-like device which didn't capture the audio worthy at all. The SF Pecha Kucha session was really good and those 3 presentation could be viewed a little better indi…
