Innovation

Sesame Street is 40 years old this week, but Elmo's still three!

Enjoy a few article about some of my favorite muppets:

My favorite part of all the celebrations are all the interviews with Elmo, Grover, Big Bird, and the gang. You can search Google for a great variety!

We already knew that social networking, from Twitter to Facebook to Youtube to Myspace and all the other online communities are a great way for businesses and individuals to connect.  Nate, one of our developers, recently pointed me toward our local police's Twitter account, to help me recover my stolen bike.

One school in Winchester, MA, has innovation down to a science.  Or down to an art?  Read the article to learn more about the school that's tying student achievement to local business support, local public support, and student responsibility in both academics (including art!) and life.

Ideas Worth Spreading is one of my all time favorite websites and sources of inspiration, and I hope to share many of the thought provoking, interesting, and occasionally world-changing 20-minutes-or-less lessons as I come across them.  Yesterday I came across Don't Eat the Marshmallow... Yet, by Joachim de Posada.

Last night I watched the film Up, in 3-D. I had heard it was "worth seeing in 3-D" particularly because of the animation. I had also heard that this was not a typical Disney/Pixar film; in fact, it left many people in tears. So, a little hesitant, I went to see what all the fuss was about.
