Thursday linkfest

Here are this week’s links:

  • The problems of Virtual teams – Some research showing how problems are more frequent on virtual teams than local. It’s a small sample size, but first research I’ve ever seen asking this question.
  • Letterman top ten – Dear God this is funny. It’s silly and stupid, but perhaps so am I.
  • Orwell vs. Huxley – Fantastic cartoon that captures so many of my opinions on technology, the world, and the future.  (The winner, between Orwell vs. Huxley is Neil Postman).  (Thx to Ario for the link).
  • Photo blog of abandoned things – It is what it says. Amazing photos of large, abandoned man made things from around the world.

  • Orwell vs Huxley is great. Thanks for pointing to it. Over the weekend I watched an incredibly bad movie on Comedy Central called “Idiocracy.” That movie agrees with Huxley’s prediction.

  • Idiocracy worked for me for the first half hour or so – that whole scene in Walmart was pretty funny.

    But then again, I had set my expectations so low before I saw it I might have found anything funny.
