This has nothing to do with Creative Technology, but it has everything to do with the weird state of our nation at the present moment, of which I think technical revolution will be the fuel to get us out. This is a pretty awesome interview/bbq of Jim Cramer, host of Mad Money on CNBC, about the ethics of the show, the network, and Wall Street in general. Watch all three to see this really unfold into something that we deep down all know... that the AIG, Lehman Bros, Bear Stearns of the world have been playing this game with our money all along, and it has just finally caught up with all of us. The problem is , this is all we now....so how do you fix it? How do you fix Greed?

Trendspotting economy, bailout

Recently,  I have had an epiphany. The New World Order that your dollar bill speaks of and that we have quietly feared is now a reality. Why? Because the system that our society has been built on has used up all of its resources and as such shown its true root, which is greed. But greed doesn't die slowly, it morphs. Have you noticed lately how much of an 'eco-consciousness people have now?' Have you noticed how brands now use social consciousness to market their goods instead of blatant giveaways? I though it was just me, until I saw this presentation. Trust me folks, the New World Order is here. It's virtual. It's socially conscious. It's eco-friendly, and it is global. The real question is...is this a good thing or a bad thing?

I have been looking this for a while. Last year, Mozilla Labs hosted a concept series to gather ideas on what the browser of the future would be. This was an AWESOME submission by Adaptive Path, home of Jesse James Garrett (the AJAX guy)

Here is a good post on some trends to watch for in the Personal Branding space is 2009. This really validates the purpose of my blog, as I too feel that we are entering into a time where 'Personal Brand' will become more influential in the marketplace than the traditional company.

Enjoy!
