How many companies out there are practicing what google knows.
Not the trade secrets, not the propitiatory know hows. But the basic cultural practice that most professionals are aware of, by now. To be playful at work. Yet how many work place would dare to implement that concept?
It's Google's 12th birthday. What an extraordinary gift to the rest of us.
Happy Birthday and a Big Share Share* to the Google Guys, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and all those who made Google possible.
I have been posting a few moon pieces on my artist site, for the book, Forever Dragon.
With the Moon Festival one week from today, I am inspired to do a cultural learning workshop/Network event. Below is the description. Hope you can join me.

A Feast For the Mind
A 10-course

Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival is on Sept 22, 2010, i.e. The 15th of the eight month in the lunar calendar. Sometimes refer to as the Moon Festival.
According to the accumulative observation from the past 5,000 years, on that day, the moon will be at her fullest and brightest of the entire year, aka Harvest Moon.
Although you can find tons of information on the internet, none will give you the insights that I can offer. No where else can you get the same Segami interpretation, from both Chinese and American view point.

Posterous.com reminds me of Google

This is the cover page Forever Dragon. A book that I have been working on for 9 years.
It's an artistic version of a legend. Many participants and audience have heard various versions through the years. Some saw the slide shows accompanied with music, whereas most have heard me "performed" the piece. Today I decided to dust off the final draft copy from last year, Sept 9, 2009, time stamped at 9 pm, see attached pdf. Form today forward, I am going to release the book at the my artist Segami Blog one page at a time, at 9 pm CST, till it is done. Why today? Duah. It's September 9th.Why at 9 pm? To be sure that I am able to deliver. More later about the number 9.Why did it take me a year? That's a longer answer. Shortly after I completed the draft last year, my husband was diagontic with colon cancer. He then required several surgeries done. Thanks to great doctors and concerning family members, with lot prayers and good thoughts, he has recovered. New and improved. Back to his busy self: inventing and investigating important technical issues, all over again. Interruption like this in life was distracting. I regroup by revisiting my list.What system do you have to bring you back on track?
