Friday you are a welcome sight after a tiring busy week. Not had much chance to read this week but here are a few things that caught my eye\/brain. As I get back into work it seems I have an interest in posts about making things and I like people that share their working out so that is a bit of a theme. I am rubbish at making things. I have been wanting to write about that but well…like I said I am rubbish.<\/p>\n

The problems we face today are those same problems that brought down modernism. We can\u2019t control them with one solution, strategy or \u2018five circled grid\u2019. But just because you can\u2019t control something, doesn\u2019t mean it can\u2019t be changed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To use a term I introduced in\u00a0an earlier piece, people like these are engaged in “socialstructing” \u2014 that is, bypassing established institutions and processes for building new things, and instead working to create what they find missing in the world by communicating the need to their social networks, mobilizing whatever resources they have at their disposal, and pursuing solutions collaboratively.<\/p>\n

How Do You Create A Data Driven Organisation?<\/a><\/h3>\n
A lot of companies play lip service to the idea but when it comes down to making decisions they end up being made by those that are more senior (by HiPPO: highest paid person’s opinion) or, worse, loudest, based on gut instinct, experience or opinion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fifteen modifications later, he threw it into her fantasies \u2013 The Warren Ellis Gun Machine remix<\/a><\/h3>\n
I like the idea of \u201cMaking Things Fast\u201c, however I seem to end up making things slowly \u2013 which is why I\u2019ve decided just to say \u201cto hell with it\u201d and write up projects as I go along.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Interview: John McAfee Answers Your Questions<\/a><\/h3>\n
Did you really evade the police by dressing up in a speedo and screaming at people in German,\u00a0as you describe here?<\/em><\/p>\n
McAfee:<\/strong>\u00a0I favor disguises that change character rather than looks when running from the police. The German Tourist disguise was terrific. I looked exactly like me but no-one searching for me paid me any mind.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
