Stanford d.school Rolls Out New Blog
Bob Sutton recently announced that the Stanford d.school launched their new blog. If the current content is any indication of things to come, I'm looking forward to learning more from these designer thinkers.
Admittedly, I am somewhat puzzled, however, as the blog appears to have entries dating back to January 1st, 2006. It's unclear whether it simply wasn't publicly accessible before or if they didn't want to launch the site without a backlog of real content. Either way, I'm just glad that it's available as I've already uncovered a few engaging references.
For example, though I've seen quite a few of the TED talks through video archives, I missed this highly entertaining lecture from Sir Ken Robinson about the future of education recorded at TED 2006. While attending a TED conference in-person is incredibly expensive ($4400 per ticket) and very exclusive (tickets sold out on February 14th of this year for TED 2007!), I am very appreciate the organizers of this event release most/all of these inspiring lectures online for free. Also see Burt Rutan and Ray Kurzwell.
