Innovation

It is a very common thing in everyday conversation to attribute success or failure of tech companies to "ability to innovate". Scott Berkun takes a direct shot at this "easy reasoning" with a good article : 'Good' Beats 'Innovative' Nearly Every Time

E-Toys

Was directed to Alan Kay's work from some blog/book and that eventually led me to squeak and E-Toys. It is a great piece of software - both from the vision and implementation angles. You owe it to yourself to try it out for your kids/for the kid in yourself :)

It may take a little while at first, but once you have figured out a basic example, rest all flows with very little additional effort - an important sign of a of a well designed product/framework.
