Ran into Larry Grey of Grey Sparling PeopleSoft Expert's Corner in San Ramon yesterday. He's started a company called Grey Sparling Solutions Inc. with a couple of ex-PeopleSofters.
The classic pattern of all new companies is to include some form of blogging as connectors to the marketplace, and Im glad to see Larry starting off the right way. Pick these guys if you are a PeopleSoft customer and want to continue to leverage your investment with additional innovation in 8.4x, 9x be damned!

Different angle, same thing
Lessig referred to JC Watts. Who's he? After some Yahoo-ing I discovered a speech given by Watts to the NRA.
Watts makes a powerful point- is spirituality being erased in the name of political correctness? I attended a "convent" high school with was run by a catholic church, and being essentially an Hindu did NOT make me a convert, or hate christianity. It had the opposite effect - better understanding of a different religion makes me appreciate what are the good parts in both, and empathize better with other cultures.
I worry now about my daughter about to enter kindergarten in a month in the USA growing up without any spirituality besides the one at home, which she surely will not pay attention to since it is perceived as so wrong in the outside world.

Lessig's presentation style
I've listened to Larry Lessig's presentations on freedom from copyrights for sometime now thanks to ITConversations, but never got a chance to watch them. You can see what impressed the auidence so much here.
I'm truly transformed today.

EDS is rumored to sell A.T Kearney
Per the WSJ, EDS CEO considers management consulting "non-core" and wants to focus on basic outsourcing. Its ironic that other India based firms are coming from exactly the opposite direction and are expanding into management consulting. Maybe Infosys or someone will consider this purchase?

Winning by Jack Welch, other lessons of leadership
This is a stunning new book by Jack Welch who has been a great influence in my professional life. I was a little skeptical when I picked up the book at first as a rehash of his autobiography, but was pleasantly surprised.
One section that is very useful is the strategy section, or how NOT to do strategy. The exercise to follow the latest analyst trend devoid of competitive assessment is weak, and really needs to be changed to what he recommends - an honest candid view of where we are today, and where we want to go ,and the obstacles to get there.
The problems in doing this: a) no time from top management for true strategic analysis, besides traditional SWOT. b) Candid discussions killed due to politics c) People in the room not qualified/interested
I guess its frustrating to see problems happen when solutions are in sight, and not having the ability to do anything about that at a macro level.

Yahoo! Watch: My Web
Yahoo! introduces a new feature to keep persistent content from web searches.
Interesting at the least, probably competes in a low way with del.icio.us - but without the tagging. The important thing here is that searching is a way of sorting through random stuff to get to what you want, but once I found something I want I'd like to classify it in an orderly fashion. "My web" misses that point and is basically advocating searching as the only metaphor even in a reduced domain space.

Yahoo! acquires.... Flickr!
per this note in FlickrBlog, it is confirmed that Yahoo! is now the new master of of the the most innovative websites of 2005, the beginning of Web 2.0, IMHO.
It's unfortunate that HP decided to acquire SnapFish instead of Flickr, as they needed Flickr more... I'm sure Google was deciding on what to do here as well. :)
