Future of Television?

Funny video by NY Times tech-columnist David Pogue on the possible futures of television. The most interesting thing from the video is Pogue’s casual comment ‘unemployment is at a all-time high… so give those people something to watch‘.

This made me think about the necessity of television in general and the focus our techo-elite assumes in modern day society. Perhaps the techno-elite, as Jolie O’Dell advocated, ought to focus on more urgent matters.

Scrum takes off in the Netherlands

Anyhow this presentation is an absolute must to form a ‘mental image’ of the scrum agile process.
