3..2..1.. Fight!

It is with great amusement that I watch the current fight between microsoft and google. I use some google products and they have made my life easier but I must admit that microsoft have some really cool stuff coming up. First cool thing - Surface. Then a direct challenger for Google Earth - Virtual Earth 3D. And now Photosynth:

Just watch this movie and then imagine all 3 products combined:



Looking good isn't it? Guess what? You can already try it: Clicky!

And no - microsoft is not paying me for this post. It's sad...

What’s happening?

Overslept twice. This is bad because it has a direct implication on my financial situation. Late for work equals less money in the end of the month.

Forgot about two appointments and therefore missed them. This is bad because it has a direct implication on my team. It's not nice when your OCP forgets that you were supposed to meet.

I need to change something…

Addiction

Learning something new about myself everyday - it's an addiction. Most recent learning: how do I deal with frustration?
Our Career Days are having some "serious" setbacks. Booklets are late, work shops were cancelled because of low interest and other things like this. It felt frustrating. Frustrating because I felt like we are dissapointing our partners. Turned out that they are not disappointed at all...
So why was I frustrated? Apperantly it was a big deal just for me. I created my frustration because i thought something is true. It was not. My frustration was a product of me assuming things. I created it by myself. In this case I can "uncreate" it by putting things into perspective, stopping assuming and focusing again on the bigger picture. Easy as that.

All Is One

Ok some days since I'm back home. I keep on asking myself questions...

I was driving on the highway. Speed limit 80Km/h. So I drive with only 80Km/h. This guy behind me gets really angry. He starts to push and push and then he snakes me making a sign with his hand giving me to understand that he thinks that I'm crazy... At this very moment I was his own personal enemy. Frankly I don't really care what people think about me but this made me a bit sad. I asked myself "why". What is his problem and why does he waste energy on making signs with his hands and cursing around. As this would change the world and make it a better place...
Consider that I just spend a whole week with 130 people from over 60 countries. I worked in a team of 13 people from over 14 nationalities. We performed pretty good I might say. No hatred whatsoever. Just understanding. Even without words. Why aren't we able to understand each other and to share in the real world. This common understanding that I'm talking about at the conference was not a product of the environment. I believe that we have this beauty inside of us. We exist because of it. But it showed because of the environment. Why does it show only in certain environments then? How can we create such environments for everybody? Not just for 130 people? What does it take? What has to be done?

Why is this wombat cleverer than us?
