What's up Wodtke?

No blogging, I got a lot of life going on right now. Just got back from a france trip-- flickr can tell my tale for me. A picture is worth a thousand marching ants, I hear.

In other worlds, I'm reading a lot:
CodeName Ginger
Metaphors We Live By
Wisdom of Teams
Y! the last man.
(yeah, I can't seem to read one book at a time, some kind of weird ADD, I suppose)

All of these are, so far, excellent and recommended, especially Wisdom of Teams.

I'm also watching Deadwood
I couldn't find the article in New Yorker which prompted my hunting it down but I did find this interview . It's a great article, and a terrific show if you don't mind continual swearing and of course, rather bloody fights of the gun, fist, and occasionally, rock variety.

so... not dead, but gathering inputs and ruminating.

> ...especially Wisdom of Teams.

This reminded me of another book that I can't recommend enough: The Wisdom of Crowds. See also, a review and an article by the author.

Just when I thought this offers another explanation of Google success, I saw CEO Eric Schmidt say the same in Google's Analyst day webcast.

If you like Y: The Last Man, you should also check out Brian K. Vaughan's other stuff, in particular Ex Machina. Ex Machina is a political thriller where the mayor of New York is an ex-superhero. Fantastic art by Tony Harris (though I love Pia Guerra's work in Y).
