Another beautiful example of communication.
I like both the graphic of the video and the idea of communicating a kind of ‘the making of NexusOne ‘
There is a whole series from the GoogleNexusOne channel on YouTube.

I’ve observed an interesting phenomena that I’m going to explain.
Suppose in my room there are 20°C : if you reach this level when the room is cooling down (say in the evening when the heater have been switched off) I feel it’s cold, if you reach this level when the room is heating (say in the morning when the heaters have been switched on) I feel it’s warm.
Does our body feels a kind of temperature derivative understanding when it’s decrementing or incrementing? Or I’m just getting crazy 
?

Interesting post called Why Corporate IT Fails when Competing with Consumer Tech … and How to Change the Game: in few words while IT products and services for the Consumer market rocks, the ones for Corporate market sucks (read the post for a more appropriate evaluation )
I like in particular a concept relate to how projects / products are evaluated in the the models:
- Corporate IT: metrics for success stop when the project is complete
- Consumer IT: metrics for success start when the development work is done
What’s your interpretation on this comparison and how can Corporate IT benefits from it? Let me know!

I was looking at the new Google Nexus One just announced: interesting device and … interesting site.
I was attracted, among other stuff, by this ‘3D tour’
Usually 3D tours … basically sucks … so I wanted to have a look at the Google way of 3D tour.
The beginning is appealing and I was caught by the FEEL label: what does it mean? How can you make me feel what’s a nexus one?
Here is the answer: clicking on FEEL you get this interesting picture.
You just have to hold the hand on the screen and use the slider to match the dimension of your hand and of the picture. When done … boom:
here is how it ‘looks’ (more than ‘feel’) the device in your hand and pocket.
What do you think? Can this be a good visual representation of feel?

Between a great, beautiful, complete, long term solution and nothing there is often a set of cool, neat, simple, solutions that can give a lot of value.
If you think in your project this is not true …. double check, you are wrong.
If you still think in your project this is not true, make yourself a gift: QUIT!!! In fact there are two possible scenarios:
- you are not good (for this project): give your company a chance to win and to you a chance to succeede somewhere else
- the project is not good: run away!!!

In personal development programs defining a well established goal and setting a path made of small achieveble steps is like applying a linear solution to a non linear problem: the quality of the result is basically unpredictable.
So the question is: which is the right approach ?
